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.

好欢乐，狮子王出来唱前，听到台下所有观众合唱自己的老歌，氛围太适合感动😹
虽然不如1，但是在这个大环境里没有随波逐流的去搞zzzq挺不容易的，里边有个二哈女儿太逗了，我在这一集里最喜欢的角色就是她
第一部真的太精彩太出类拔萃了，第二部比起来就是平庸之作但是还有些优秀的成份在，他们的嗓子还是这么优秀，音乐也没有第一部这么朗朗上头（U2不熟所以也没有什么感觉。
歌方面感觉没有前作那么好，可能是我的个人喜好问题吧。
剧情听啰哩啰嗦的吧，最后的演出才是精髓，前面加戏好多啊，还行吧，很惊喜的演出
适合用毫无节制的运动镜头去记录。东京塔熄灭的时候莫名哽住了一阵：太当代了,哪怕一些无关要紧的 走在深夜里的样子。痛哭过/一个人的故事.
一地鸡毛的中年生活，偶然闪现的回忆重召；看似没有拐点也无从前进的人生，总要选择倒退，才能有新的方式行走。选择轻剧情的方式剖视生活危机，并串联回忆与往事；甜蜜与酸涩并存，配搭时间符号（地震、全输的世界杯再到空无一人的东京大街）…这般掌控之下，竟然也细煲出如散文诗的别致味道。结尾抓好感，多加一星。
三星半，2021年的劲歌金曲，白狼和狮子都好帅啊！可以理解为什么观众缘如此好，毕竟经历了两年多的疫情，很容易被这种讲梦想和勇气的电影打动。
还记得第一部，每首歌都惊艳和热血……结果第二部，除了最后舞台剧的编排，其他毫无惊喜，感觉是部山寨续集

太空舞台剧构思场景都不错，剧情有点不堪第一部
一定要投屏食用，音乐很棒，西装和皮夹克look很酷。
曲子还行，道具布景真的棒，但是故事很散，音乐剧每幕的衔接过渡也很潦草，仿佛一个大杂烩
今年的日影总是很打动我。男主的一生里，如今的情感、权利和金钱不值一提，最为珍贵的居然是过往。第一次的爱恋、亲吻、拥抱，生涩、真挚、热烈。不知不觉留在身边的明信片，已经泛黄。一直抽的那种烟，还以为是自己的习惯，其实是别人刻下的印迹。那些曾经要好却断了音信或者渐离渐远的朋友，曾经热爱的音乐、书籍和电影，还有那条熟悉得闭眼都能走到的小路……往事历历在目，所有珍惜的都无法留住。当电影把男主的故事倒叙，这种种美好都全然失去的冲击感更强了。几个配角相当不错，看得人有些心痛。小说中那段黑白的繁星房间超美，车外流过的回忆那段很伤感。
有几个精彩的瞬间：大胡子未说出口的喜欢，坚持让男主送风俗女回家；风俗女看到男主还在等她，跑下楼跳进男主怀里；男主和初恋旅行。但终究还是和电影常提的那一句一样：好普通。片尾模仿费里尼《浪荡儿》提升不少格调。
芝加哥-旧金山飞机上看again：第二部的矛盾真的比起第一部来说毫无新意和立意，以至于整部片子有点立不住。结构也比较松散和无趣，唯一的亮点就是space musical这个概念，因为真的是现实世界难以实现的精妙绝伦的舞台设定，可以在虚拟世界实现。建议直接搞一些虚拟音乐剧得了。
等下，Crystal居然是狼吗？我一直当成哈士奇处理的哈哈哈哈哈！挺合家欢的一部电影，很欢乐很放松，但是剧情有点东一榔头西一棒子了，什么都想说，但什么都只是说了一点儿。
【3】更抒情的《薄荷糖》，注重光线的摄影是好看的。
傍晚，幼儿园的孩子们互相喊“再见”，
但是, 故事失去了逻辑, 以及动力,
