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.

还蛮喜欢结尾，Nancy是通过自己获得了第一次高潮而非Leo
非常棒的剧本！！！尤其是早晨正好开始看《阴道独白》，有了更多体会。将剧本技巧运用到淋漓尽致，像《卢米埃尔与四十大导》之阿巴斯的技巧，只是最后之前的那部分对我来说有些“烂尾”，过于“正能量”了，否则我要惊呼出，比《五点到七点的克莱欧》走得更远。喜欢本片的调色，就像马卡龙一样存粹甜腻
CFA在我这里的位置很尴尬，甚至我觉得它有些外百老汇了。为了me and the sky还是加一星。
三星半。小成本单一场景的探索故事。无论男性女性，沟通和释放真实自我的需求都是应予支持的，但千万不能以Leo这样的“高级人才”去理解性工作者的工作价值和意义，这样太过于阶层化及资本化，最后发现现实中不是仙人跳就是纯粹的花钱买肉欲。
看不下去，忍受不了古典音乐舞台剧的调调，墨迹造作看着舞台表演的脱离现实的夸张矫情感到恶心，看了三十多分钟看不下去了，然后有600多个自觉高级的小资在哪里跪拜鼓吹附庸风雅中获得自己正当时，自己存在于高雅的这个圈子里，获得有知识有想象的文化归属地位，有品位的高等人的自我确认标签，无异于圈内自嗨，让人感到那种中世纪贵族故作风雅的那种恶心感。
Jenn Coletta真的太绝了呜呜呜。
Emma Thompson最后在镜子前欣赏自己的那幕跟张艾嘉在《20 30 40》中很像。
此外还很喜欢关于不同族裔的部分，地球村的故事就像一个真实存在的童话。不需要懂得同一种语言，因为我记得上帝曾在某一编码处说过各族坚信的圣言；口中祷词有着不同的词句，但全心去爱吧，这是我们通行世界的准则。
戴上职业假面的男主，从审美学角度来说无懈可击。他能洞悉任何人的需求从而提供服务，甚至堪称心理咨询师持证上岗哈哈。在这场关系中，两人重组了“母子”也互为“救赎者”，完成了一场敢于直面对抗勇于接纳自己的疗愈。
4k官摄很舒适，第一时间看了，来补标。之前这部戏唯一躺在歌单里的单曲，me and the sky，女机长太酷了！女孩子可以做她想做的任何事情！
非常动人。作为一个从高中时代就开始对“大龄剩女”主题电影心有戚戚的三十岁女子，能感受到“nancy”对于性、对于自身欲望的谨慎、渴慕、敬畏、紧张，也能感受到她身上好为人师的强势、打破砂锅问到底的"执着"、看似维持礼貌体面但其实并不关心他人感受的自我中心。有时候会想，她都五六十了，还没有过高潮，这个人设是不是太夸张，其实并不，每个人都是某种夸张的人。。。其实精神内核非常朴实，朴实得不像是电影节电影，无非不就是“悦纳自我”的人本主义，但这个故事本身非常动人。
看了一半实在忍不下去了。americanism epitome and condescending PC. 用圣经与黑人交流的桥段令人反胃
几个印象深刻的地方： ①关于真实边界的冲突，leo的愤怒 ② shaved.即使往坦荡迈了一大步，it's still shaved! ③ pay taxes on her earnings
好精彩的剧作推进！看得我好几次热泪盈眶，到最后直接泪流不止。这样的剧作应该已在我的脑海里预演过千万遍，但这是第一次被做得如此系统与完整。这部性喜剧，相比起其他任何的性题材，显得那么的单纯与真诚。这不仅关于性，还关于人与人之间的交流、尊重、理解和文明。当Emma最后像是喊口号一样地说出“pleasure is a wonderful thing,it's something we should all have”时，我觉得感动得不得了。我们把羞耻建立在爱人对你的爱抚、亲吻与倾听之上，用罪恶去捆绑原始的欢愉。我觉得或许当有一天我们选择去原谅自己的原罪，那才是我向往的人类文明的彼端。
哇哦，十分！必须满分！这是女性向的电影，它说出了我说不出的欲望，渴望性爱，多么自然的需求，却被羞于出口。25岁的女孩也羞愧于自己的身体，在床笫之间不敢展露自己，对身材的不自信。天呐，这就是我在挣扎的事情，我想要减少自己的不自信，只是一直做不到。这个电影帮我说出来了。
故事素材不用说。关键是舞台形式，给人启发。
这部影片显然对性工作者做了过于完美的演绎，但有一点是无疑的：对于买来的性，都是从突破自己的道德防线开始，然后是对性工作者的好奇打探，然后成为一种游戏周旋。当然，性是需要启发的，不论这经验从何而来，只要利用得当，它就不会只是生活的点缀那么简单。
小而固定的空间，两个陌生男女由性爱进入到情感，这两个都是极度私密的领域，主要依靠对白和表演，结构上以男女的关系变化为主线，完整的四次会面，从第一次的紧绷到逐渐展开，表象的性爱被隐藏，展开的是内心。两个陌生的男女开始的性爱任务，其中一个很年轻，一个至暮年，明明可以发展出很多戏剧故事，但偏偏任何强情节都没有，只在房间里不断对话，说很多看似无关紧要的事情，观察身体，而这竟让我看下去了，这样的叙事让我感到好奇，也让我思考其中核心是什么？
发出我活了二十几年的最大疑问： 小伙子一小时多少钱🥵🥵🥵 （婶还是在发光啊我爱她！） 看得过程一直咬嘴唇 说正经的，文戏真好，完全可以改改换到戏在剧场演
