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.

传记片通常重在还原历史，《斯宾塞》则通过粉饰加工，去美化事实，当作一件艺术品来拍，很让人联想到《霓裳魅影》。专注的独角戏，低饱和度色彩，柔美的摄影音乐，最舒服不过了。★★★★/8.2
束手束脚欲言又止不等于成功留白，抽取的叙事点更不足以对这位复杂的女人做一种客观呈现。拍名人传记片是一件冒险的事，驾驶技术有限则很容易吃力不讨好，这部就是。
前面一度非常无聊，后面被无语的剧情笑cry。
小K确实很努力了，拿出了她比较好的水平。不过，或许是对她的表情太熟悉了，时常让人觉得跳戏，察觉这是K在演戴安娜而不是真的戴安娜。
基本沒有毛病的傳記片，但總覺得缺了真正讓人動容的點，大概是王室生活太遠看起來太好吃的緣故。上次見小K還是演jean seberg，同樣是表演帶動了全片，兩個角色對比起來依舊進步不小，儘管這個Diana更像刻畫完美的悲劇中人物，但還是讓人覺得“她就是Diana”。
看着她表情做作🐍一样扭来扭去的样子我真的要精神崩溃了
皇家芭比。国民玩偶。连服装师都无权选自己称心的。其实老公出轨什么的，真的还在其次，那种“我”的无处安置和完全消失，才是痛苦的根源，整个系统没有谁在乎你的感受，只拿你当妥妥的工具，把你展示在风光的橱柜里。贵为王妃，内里也不过是个缺爱的小女孩而已。看到她寝宫的窗帘被缝上的一刻，我在画外也感到了等量的窒息。而带着两个儿子飞奔出宫的一刻，忍不住替她飙泪。暮光女的戴妃只能停留于静态欣赏，一旦动起来，肢体和仪态太尴尬了，驼背耸肩缩脖子，啊……这是香奈儿也修正不了的灾难。
啊，我没注意，那个大明白是晓辉吧，三爷是餐厅那个服务员吧
女孩长大后嫁给了王子，可王子不仅出轨，还秃顶。电影中Diana身上那种破碎感让我着迷。当Maggie说”I’m in love with you”的时候，我在想，who doesn’t.
脸好看是真好看，导演和小k都不明白什么是张弛有度，全程没有最苛刻的教条就没有最夸张的释放，没有松弛的状态就没有爆发的存在，观众看着都累，这部剧那就没在体现有反叛的含义，都不知道抗争什么。还有一个很致命的问题，全程小k自己都不明白母亲是什么意思，看孩子的状态都应该是最放松，还那么用力吗，是个人一见面讨厌管家也应该是碰到规矩才会讨厌，一见面就讨厌，这演技真的想女主进入了《禁闭岛》，不知道到底是女主疯了还是其他人疯了，说话声一直很小面对任何人都一样的语速，我真的不知道导演是想黑小k还是小k自己要求这样，美国人真的演什么都像个美国人
我实在是对小K喜欢不起来，演什么都是小K，皱眉耸肩，尤其是嘴部很多细微的表情，我总觉得表演痕迹好重，感觉很局促，让我坐立不安，我看到了小K你确有在努力。整个片是个Chanel服装大展，美是美得很！结尾从皇室逃出来吃KFC太喜感了！
07/10伦敦电影节。最后放着流行音乐的快乐幻想一点也不让我轻松，只觉得这种奇迹一样的期待如此不真实，不真实到令人泪目。电影以黛安娜为主要视角，展现了她的神经质，也正因为完全以她为第一视角，也展现了王室生活的神经质，一个自由的灵魂如何与其格格不入。电影对黛安娜与丈夫还有王室的整体冲突的塑造还是有些简单了，现实中查尔斯的出轨不是在1991年发生的，而是已经发生了好多年，而黛安娜自己也与一个男人发展了长达5年的关系，她和Camilla（查尔斯现在的对象）在那些年里通过向小报披露彼此的秘密互相诋毁攻击。她童年的形象还有生活多次在影片中出现，但她对童年生活的怀念没有更多缘由的支撑，她并没有一个快乐的童年。影片本身足够好了，但是不要把它展现的世界完全当真或当成全部～
小k塑造的Diana美丽又脆弱，妆发首饰每一个造型都很精致， 从开头到结尾每一个细节都在表达Diana有多不快乐，关在笼子里的金丝雀，外表再华丽都掩饰不住内心已死的事实。
全程逐帧盯小k 经得起这样怼脸的有几个呢 独舞虽然小虎背不怎么动人 但重在情感表达 这只被禁锢的美丽天鹅 最佳服设没跑了
不知道是不是全程紧绷的表演有些过火的关系，小K一开口我就愣了一下，说话的方式太扭捏了，这种不适的状态一直延续到末尾的换装秀才舒展开，那是这版的黛安娜也是小K真正“自由”的时刻。
还是很好看啊！不愧是你们！！！10多年了……只有人家白毛一个还在兢兢业业的做着骗子……😂
戴安娜有的是抑郁症，但绝不是精神分裂and躁郁症，小k演的戴安娜像个gai溜子，感觉下一秒就要把自己头发剪光跑去森林里跟爱德华满树林爬。小k第一幕在车里好好看，结果一张口一耸肩说话我就想打她，这个口音太奇怪了而且戴安娜是一天要抽十包烟的烟嗓吗！老娘忍了一整部戏捏妈。选角太失败了郭采洁演戴安娜都比小k演得好。 小k应该去演美国精神病人，就是以为自己是戴安娜（英国人）并且一直学英国人口音的美国人。（《美国恐怖故事2》新版）
今年看的比较好看的国产电影，就是邵庄说话的音调还没有习惯
粉丝向电影。对非优映的粉丝来说只是一个中规中矩稍显凌乱的喜剧。演员们似乎都已经定型了很难有角色上的突破，就看彩蛋比本身的笑点还容易“会心一笑”。比如，获奖蛋糕里面有“杀不死”和“异物志”，还有熟悉的获鹿方言。另外，石家庄人表示追车那段戏简直胡拍！最后催催异物志快点上吧
女演员刻意的发音，重心全在前面，后面的发音几乎是空的、飘的、破的。加之前面很大一部分情节全都按照配乐的情绪走，非常焦躁不安。而故事剧本几乎找的都是微不足道的小事情，让人感觉黛安娜无理取闹，难为皇室，难为工作人员。查尔斯的演员又比较帅，而且剧情中他的角色看起来非常讲理。这个片子是皇室洗白公关片吧！
