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.

房间内
十几人围坐着，自以为天降大任，实际各有所图地讨论怎样有秩序有效率地“清零”，这是人类历史上最卑劣的一段存在。
把过去的罪恶公之于众，需要的不仅仅是勇气，还有就是对历史的否定。一群道貌岸然的人，神情轻松的讨论最终解决方案，穿插着谈论各自的家庭美满和子女，形成了巨大的反差，耐心看完全片并不会感到枯燥。
14个背负历史最大反人类、种族清洗、种族灭绝、侵略罪的刽子手，谈笑间重新定义《人道》、《美德》、《高效》、《净化》、《清醒》
对外战争和对内种族战争是国家的一体两面。国家不允许吃了饭不干活的人存在。这就是纳粹牲口意识形态下塑造的爱国精神
还行，乙骨特辑讲了来龙去脉也蛮好的，比较出乎意料的是第一季说乙骨打遍了学校所有不良少年还以为他会是很桀骜不驯的类型，结果那么软萌
知识普及教育！终于对很多既往的电影有了新的认识！
没有配乐，几乎没有场景转换，跟一群人在一场电影里开一场100分钟信息密度极大的会，却丝毫不觉得冗长乏味……回望历史，我们总是清醒的，但，身在当下，我们却经常把疯狂当做理智……
艾希曼最后说怎么用毒气室毒死犹太人的时候我简直要干呕，也就是纳粹能这么面不改色心不跳的讨论种族清洗了。
Das Wissen, dass alles seine Ordnung hat.
前半个小时太吃力了，人又多，职位有多，名字复杂，语速飞快，表示跟不上，不适合我的电影。
相比于卡司豪华的肯尼思布拉纳的01版，本片采取了平实的推进手法和去戏剧化的处理 ，剧本也更加扎实凝炼，整个会议井然有序公式化推进折射德国人严谨风格的同时也强化了文本的可信度，所以这样的题材真的还是要德国人自己拍才可以
毒舌5T5三三：这世上没有比爱更扭曲的诅咒了。
15个冷静的杀手开了一个会议决定了600万人的姓名，这段历史该被铭记！
其实白宫、五角大楼里面几乎每天也在开这样的会，毕竟它们的前辈也同样如此
这个题材比庭审还要难拍，开会的戏演绎的如此优秀。人物鲜明 大量对话很精彩 各方利益的博弈淋漓尽致。最终方案抛出来就是毒气。
反派空降，主角的故事只有开头做了铺垫，后面依靠闪回不断强加新意，对于非漫化粉来说还是不算太好的电影。少年爱情定下的许诺变成执念，诅咒了过世女友使得她变成大妖怪，帮助男主成为天赋异禀驱魔人，最后化解执念——故事好看，但还是很经典的男本位，无功无过。
很工整的一部电影，加菲及各演员的表现都很棒，音乐也还行。节奏来说稍微有点紧，叙事很复杂的情况下加入了歌舞，总觉得很赶。那段爱情真的很可惜。
爱是最深的诅咒吗？ 五条悟实在是太帅了呀。
