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.

两个女人之间的认同和吸引是如此自然深沉，让我不禁思考一个问题，大家为什么不都搞姬呢，这是多么健康和谐的关系，男人能懂什么呢，只知道3p
和她丈夫都爱上她的这个结果
3.5 每个国家都有一部自己的frances ha lol. 能真诚坦荡的去爱的女孩谁能不爱呢。但不要迷失了自己。
很喜欢那种自由并且独立的状态，最棒了就是“法国女孩”他们丰富而大量的对话中间不会缺乏文艺，或者说知识性的一面，这可能跟他们喜欢读书有关系，但是确实比起普通的闲聊会有深度很多。最后真的很温暖，那种灵魂上的鼓励和支持。
想像阿娜伊斯一样充满活力 但又不是火急火燎。看完觉得夏天也挺好
被五十多岁那个女人深深的吸引 她说你知道的 你只是爱上了你自己的幻想 一个投射 我整个夏天都在想你 我第一次这么富有激情的工作 都是因为你 我被你吸引 但我什么都给不了你 从容 有爱 平和的讲出这么理性的一切 真希望我老了也可以变成这样的人
俩女主也没啥CP感呀，可惜！对男人心理的掌握倒是一贯精准，就是男的自己心里没点B数，又老又秃又肥的谁跟你们3P呀，想啥呢？！
后半段完全没有预料到这个风风火火的女人的真爱竟是情人的伴侣。作家的淡雅是56岁女人完美的体现，年轻姑娘的大胆与激情也有着随性的魅力，可惜老男人好像谁也配不上。
理性存在，但理性终将战败。两位女主完全不同的人生观的碰撞，甚至觉得作家身份是一个隐喻，“他人”果然是阅读最好的对象。以及第一次在影视作品里看到这种比较没钱的作家，甚至感觉有点可爱。
从恐惧幽闭到回到幽闭，阿娜伊斯终于遇到了一段让她成长的爱情，即使只有一个短暂的夏天。
只有两部电影让我念念不忘
现实生活中就怕遇到女主这样的人：蠢苯、以自我为中心、既没有责任心、也缺乏同理心。碰到这样的货，我真是能滾多远滚多远。艾美丽的选角也很失败，让激情戏看上去猥琐恶心。看来这类的片子拍摄也是有门槛的，不是随便㩐个女导演捣鼓捣鼓就行。例如这片，简直就是一场灾难。
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。”
我的妈艾米丽好知性温柔优雅啊，她一笑我要陷进去了；找打印纸那一段很妙，是阿娜伊斯把艾米丽拉到一个幽暗的小空间看照片，明明自己连封闭的电梯都不敢进去；最后一段好浪漫好勇敢啊，阿娜伊斯像小白兔委屈的哭红了眼去亲吻艾米丽的手腕说我不同意，最后画面拥吻在电梯里，好真挚给我看流眼泪了💧
那些从没花时间学会独处的人因此也没学会如何爱他们自己于是请别人来替自己完成
It’s a type of French romance that I don’t quite understand...
女孩胜在于旺盛生命力中没掩饰自己那种迷茫和绝望 与此同时她坚定决心要自我成长
和男人在一起时总是慌慌张张，跟女人在一起时才从容淡定，结尾太惊艳。
怎么这么好看！法姬恐惧症得到了进一步地缓解。连续两周，所有的空闲几乎都在一遍遍地刷这部电影。刚看完时有很多话，好几遍下来反而感觉说什么都词不达意。最喜欢Anaïs开车那段，Anais手忙脚乱，Emilie在一旁偷笑。前有《西比勒》撞梗《烧女图》，这部无论主旨还是表达和《世界上最糟糕的人》都有重叠。(Valérie：没人比我更懂忘年恋）
不停奔跑 不会生活 感情一团乱 论文憋不出 房租交不起 阿娜伊斯身上找到自己的影子。中年知识女性经济独立 举止从容 用品精致 情绪平和 简直比老男人让人着迷多了！我太爱法国女人在太阳下海水里灵动的肉体和轻巧的精神了。
