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.

总算不是硬生生的皮套乱战了，Century真的好帅啊！
三星半，可说是“政客中的乌托邦”了，通过一系列脏手段去完成一个不脏的人生抱负，实在是太理想化了。尤其后半部分的处理，巧妙地捍卫主角的正面形象，即便这么干会折损作品的魅力。
唯一的一段竟然全程在担心沙子吃进去怎么办...
整部影片有两个不太理解的地方：1.Anais出于何种原因和Daniel买可乐 2.可能因为我还太年轻，能够接受但无法理解Emilie的选择
中规中矩的皮套大战（情怀做的也不够，也有可能是腻了），新骑士最后还是沦为了解决末日机器的工具人，父子关系的纽带让我认识到，解决问题的关键在于，父子之间对于坐和谐号还是复兴号需要达成共识。一号的传承，根本不是在演本乡猛，他只是在尽可能模仿他父亲，并且不得不说的是制作真的不太上心，六个场景六种滤镜，阿拉斯加的部分简直就是阴间放大镜。最后求求东映，别再动作戏的时候停下来煽情和灌鸡汤了，这时间让整部片子紧凑点不好吗，1颗星给OP
虽然很cliche，但结局居然是好的。国法人穿的小裙子都好好看。
可以把遇到作家之前的部分都剪掉……作家太美了，很吸引人。 感情还得是双向的才能行。
50周年的主题：时间
很典型的法国风格了，沙滩上那段吻戏真的绝美。
这才是我们期望看到的假面骑士啊。
25年前：You're always my hero
“C’est l’histoire d’une jeune femme qui s'agite. Et c’est aussi l’histoire d’un grand désir.” 这段介绍很贴切。前半部分我是很不喜欢anais的，感觉这个女孩子很虚浮，包括中后部和emilie的初相识，都有一种极为自我关注的青年特征（哪里像是30岁）。最后一段相爱之后就落地了很多。
属于年轻人的大胆、热情同时又幼稚、脆弱，年轻人要对抗的不是时间，只是自己的直觉，似乎想要就可以得到一切。
假面骑士世纪拥有着昭和的皮套，令和的特效……
前面的铺垫有点俗气，应该早点切入正题，后面质量直线上升，相似的灵魂终相遇
频繁的相会场景切换，却由两具身体框造出了空间的唯一和有限感。林间，大海，密室，我和你的身体勾勒出了我们与世界的界限，爱意与欲望在其中轻巧地跃动，时而暂停时而消逝，萦绕在你的肌肤唇齿间，c 'est la vie ，即使未来你的离去也无法凝滞此刻的行动与美。
总是惊奇与文学生活，热烈生活，与自由相伴的法国女子！
新来打变旧来打的梗想起王小明的剧场版了，这样的混战还是比较有意思
把郭嘉拟人化去理解政治的人应该看看，政治中的个人形象都不能等同于一个人，更何况挡牌和郭嘉。
