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.

勇敢一点，迅速一点，精力充沛的女主角从不停歇。明确知道自己想要什么，爱着的是什么，比无数人都幸运。
电影前十分钟我就迷上了Anaïs。她的野性和灵巧，像误入钢筋城市的野生动物；她向往自由和激情，不受任何既定习俗的约束；她迟到、撒谎、不负责任，但她对心之所向是如此坚定。很喜欢这部电影，这是真正的女性电影，真正的从我们的视角，而非“他者”的视角出发的电影。影片的色彩也令我印象深刻。片中的细沙、海岸、水涧、花裙、书架、彩绘玻璃、复古楼梯，比相知相爱相互坦白的剧情更直观的留在脑袋里。
太像我前室友了！在欧洲国家长大，漂亮自信，每天风风火火，不拘小节，不严肃的情感生活，每天背个旧背包，似乎没吃过、用过高端的东西，但不妨碍她经常成为别人生活中的一股清流
2021.12.19本能与熟虑间的对话。喜欢阿娜伊斯的风风火火，步履匆匆。她的房子里，挂着普鲁斯特的小小头像。｜2022.03.05 大荧幕重温，最后无尽的吻，与对密闭电梯的接受。
这样愣头青 一切一团糟 只顾自己的横冲直撞的女主在生活中还是电影中我果然都一点都不喜欢
“你利用这一点，你可以得到所有想要的东西，你可以移山倒海”
“我不同意”可以瓦解所有深刻的理智。就停在那刻，就让那扇门关上吧……
当其它国家年轻导演在拍那种混乱粗粝自嘲又拧巴的东西的时候，法国小调的轻巧自如，温柔有力确实让人眼前一亮。
上一个男朋友还没分干净，肚子里的孩子还不知道怎么处理，现任情人的关系还没搞清楚，已经爱上他老婆了。欧洲所有的女性电影似乎都是对戈达尔的随心所欲的回应 - 那时候女主忧伤地说，我抽了根烟我也有责任。女人，不负责任地活着，真的很快乐。愿下辈子投胎做一个法国女人。
是我喜欢的电影。两演员有火花，尤其年上有魅力，是我喜欢的女演员，存了她好几部作品。结尾有意思，“我不同意”，然后牵着她进了一直不敢坐的电梯，哈哈，喜欢看似不靠谱、却知道自己要什么不要什么的阿娜伊斯，那几件小花裙都好好看。
恋姐癖大满足 女导演作品里的女性总让我感到更加真实 很舒适
提供了一个特殊的共情角度，理解了那种热烈毫无保留的荷尔蒙。可是连法国人都没给出开放关系的建设性叙事呢，女主还说这是“资本主义的那一套。”
跟侯麦的风格好像哦）很爱法国电影，我每次看完一部不错的片子都好像对生活重燃热情、焕发活力，开始飞快地起身做事做手头上的工作什么的。敢于质疑、敢于争取、敢于爱那些不可能的人，叫人远观而羡之
Anais真的好美。她的生活好像一直停不下来，她不能走只能跑，永远在奔跑的路上，她不能完成一次深入的谈话，和她对话的人总是来不及说完就被她跑掉了。像风，像夏日，像鲜艳的红，热烈，勇敢，冒冒失失，激情燃烧。“我想，如果一个人的生命中曾有过这样的激情，那他就不会再病倒。” 是的，于是Emilie出现了。爱，让Anais停下脚步，让她静静聆听。Emilie说这不是爱，是错觉。怎么会呢？
印象最深刻是那本被弄丢的杜拉斯的书，初版，带有勾划、笔记和指甲印。
剧情、配乐、台词密集度、各种连衣裙都昭示着这是一部再典型不过的法式小品。最后女二的一段话值得所有以为爱是所有、爱是第一的女性好好体会一下：自我才是第一位的。法国太适合宣扬人的自我意识了。
自由洒脱又热情。结局好评～我最爱的年上年下相爱的剧情～沙滩做爱戏拍得太美了～作家说分手都说得这么文艺平静又温柔，但还是抵不过年下的一句“我不同意”～
7.7分。AAC 2ch/3.85G，保存31
I won't feel guilty for disappointing you.I have nothing to offer you.
法国的爱情电影里总是有：夏天，阳光，大海；电影里的ta们总是有：红唇女孩，超快的语速，法式碎花裙。他们的浪漫已经是带有一种stereotype。我对影片里的女孩并不是很感冒，说到工作和学业真是有点没头没尾，但对于爱情是热切的。
