Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

妈，矫情却没有让我跟影片产生疏离感，大大喜欢。想买录音机
这是啥？育儿教育指导片？小演员太灵了吧，骗人生孩子系列🤷🏻♂️
杰昆真的是治愈系演员，感觉他很喜欢这一类性格的边缘化角色，有着感性温柔的内心，有着自己的脆弱，just trying to understand others , like all of us.常常会忍不住和他的角色产生共鸣，觉得那简直就是自己。
It just reminds me again how much I love Mike Miles. Time and space and emotions are real in his films.
絮絮叨叨的心灵鸡汤，很容易看无聊...华金的演技自不必说。小演员演的也很好，两人的互动太可爱！
一部温柔的，触及生活的，试图驾起“桥梁”的电影。在男主和侄子朝夕相处的过程中，穿插他作为导演所需要的孩子们的采访，讲孩子们的疑问、困惑和各种想法，也讲出了成年人面对孩子的无措、疲惫和温柔。在这样的穿插中，叔侄感情的升温，应该会引发更多成年人对与孩子沟通的方法和重视。结尾的blablabla真好。
很长，还是黑白的，看舅舅带外甥，舅舅很闲有钱，外甥有个病怏怏哭兮兮的老爹，外甥就一个小屁孩，还各种作妖，无聊！看到睡着几次。台词太多了，就是各种巴拉巴拉巴拉，他们也自嘲了，不然零分。
such a precious little gem! Intimately beautiful and private, some conversations you can't avoid having
2021年倒数第二天，温暖的年度五星，和孩子相处的教科书📗，冷静克制，画外音穿插那些过往往事，巧妙地交代了人物关系，请用平等的视角，认真聆听孩子们的发声
剧情: 两个……blablabla。剪辑不错。挺温柔的，the world is not good, but it is where we live
十分温润的电影。如果可以温柔对待谁不可爱呢。
黑白色调搭配着大尺度城市摄影下的微观人物，是最打动我的部分。仔细想想为何一定要用黑白摄影，或许是因为在洛杉矶底特律纽约等多城市的跨度，过多的色彩和杂乱细节会毁了这种城市结构与巨大景观，因为这之下的人物行为可以产生特殊的生活质感。比较喜欢的是对于人物前史的交代所做的文本设计，甚至有了一点是枝裕和的味道，用后置的不言的方式让观众心领神会这些角色的前史和矛盾。但完成的比较差的反而是华金这个角色的塑造，在全片其实并没有什么弧光，人物最初形象就不清晰，最后和侄子相处产生的改变也并不突出，同时穿插的纪录片制作桥段的选取也过于说教和输出，导致很多时候更像是一种公益片质感，采访部分和叔侄相处之间应该有更生动的互文关系
采访和对话铺满 但异常流畅 那段杰西讲述他眼里的妈妈段落 是我看过最好的
不是非要钻牛角尖和一味的唱反调、抬杆，而是想想，这样的小孩处在这样的可以大方大胆表达自己观点，该是多么奢侈，要知道有多少留守儿童根本就没有这种双亲陪伴教育，又有多少处于饥饿、战乱、没有生命安全保障的处境当中。
就是这样子吧，其实大家都不知道该怎么样和小朋友相处。如果只是当朋友，那很简单；但如果，生活在一起，需要教导他，而又被各种工作、事物缠身的时候，就会难免有情绪爆发的时候，甚至是经常，所以这很糟糕。当然，还是应该去跟小朋友沟通吧，去了解他的感受。
好的电影给人的感觉就是演员不像是演，更像是做自己，眼神里没有闪烁，所见即真实，这之中有记录片的功劳，抛出问题，录下孩子们的回答，看法和感想交给观者。尽管我们想方设法从孩子的角度看待问题，思考教育和社会，但访谈中还是觉察到孩子对大人自以为是的不满和他们身为独立个体所拥有的自我认知判断，才发现相互理解很难，差异堵点一直都在，但是影片又以叔侄之间的相处，互动沟通，情感表达，诠释亲密关系建立，打破原本的隔阂，怀抱更好的将来。辗转的城市记忆，奇妙的自然物语，悬停温柔善良的对待，置换歉意和无奈，结尾解压的呐喊，唤来成长的春季。
温柔向的人文关怀，借青少年之口述说未来，絮絮叨叨，全看个人喜好了。
当Johnny在录音的最后说出“I'll remind you of everything”时，所有的浪潮声都回到我的脑海中。
很温柔 细细述说地电影/如果有时间 就真诚跟little wired person 说说话吧 他真诚又热情又古怪/我们跟世界的关系 come on come on blah blah blah or cmon cmon 我来到世界很久 希望跟世界关系变好
