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.

爱情文艺片类型，导演通过这三个故事赤裸裸地去剖析爱、剖析性。人与人之间的爱，充满着占有、控制和不确定性，性也一样，爱里面要有性的和谐来配合，但性也可以脱离爱而存在。人们渴望爱，也渴望性，直到明白爱是放手、是自由。
57th #NYFF 2021《再来一次》“你在我心里留下了一个怎么都填不上的洞，不知道你心里是不是也有一个相同的洞。或许现在的我们，正是通过那两个填不上的洞而心意相通的。”
三段式。喜欢第二个故事。第三个故事尬聊了。。。
天晓得我有多讨厌村上春树就有多讨厌滨口龙介。他们两个对文本的创作和表达能力已经接近极致了，但我还是非常讨厌。[B]
第三个故事中主妇终日如推石上山的西绪弗斯一样在一潭死水般的日常中操劳，却因为一次本该尴尬收场的错认念起了沉眠于脑海深处多年的旧日至交的名姓，这种熹微但柔和的光芒应该是触动我的重要原因。
第一次见面就相谈甚欢的魔法 会害怕下一次见面就消散 对第二个始终要打开的门比较无感 前两个的直率和大胆更奇观一些 第三个实在是太美了 女性的心碎之歌 有些话无法对身边人说 却只能对数十年没见的扶梯上偶遇的“陌生人”道出 “我只想问你选择过得开心吗”“有时候也会突然不理解为什么会在这地方”窗前蓝色的短袖和沙发上的黄色抱枕 悠悠二十年 流光把人抛 怎样的曾经才会值得这么刻骨铭心 即使不记得你的名字还是记得你
教授说，在书的中间加入那段性爱的描述是为了让观众在长篇小说中途感兴趣，有意思的是，本段叙事也是在电影的中间，形成了极为有意思的文本互照。
又丧又妙又温柔。台词写得太灵了！第三个故事太好太喜欢！
被嚴重過譽的電影。不過是以長鏡頭為狗血劇情賦予一個個magic hour的文青意涵。第一段千年不變二女爭ㄧ男+PUA大賞，第二段仙人跳+砲友+意淫矯情版，第三段對les男性化形象的嚴重想像刻板，仔細想想，也只有那些意外的關係換位+最後ㄧ鏡的「望美」值得稍微咀嚼，三段故事單拎出來，都是相當平庸的短片。只高在於長對話中堆砌權力關係翻轉，然而表演走位的過分精準刻意還是讓其失去了自然而生的溫度。
昨天在影院看完，三个视角 故事情节层层铺垫，并在最后一章达到高潮，历史书没有给勇敢的玛格丽特发声的机会，人们只会为决斗胜利的男性欢呼 却不会关心真正受到伤害的女性。在这里我们可以看到一位善良 可爱 勇敢的女性，为玛格丽特鼓掌👏🏻
虽然现在还只是7月，但是我的2021年度最佳已经确定就是它了！第一个故事：那个快速变焦转场真的太绝太绝；第二个故事：我无法想象一段对话居然能色情到这般地步，Segawa误打成Sagawa，哈哈哈哈哈哈；第三个故事：果然潘多拉的宝盒中最终只剩下了希望（Nozomi）
看到朱迪科摩被强奸的戏份我后排的摩洛哥男人哈哈大笑 一种和电影的恐怖互文
四星半 最後一個故事太棒了 三個非常subtle的人與人之間微妙的連結、的故事，每一段結尾名字的排序非常妙，既點明了故事中的關係，又引發觀眾新的聯想 第三個故事開頭與結尾的手和擁抱真是太妙了，是容納了彼此的偶然和想像之後的美好 自然和城市的空間和聲音非常有意思，值得再多去想一想
我实在喜欢最后一个故事，如果不做些什么实在对不起这样的意外相遇，如果对一个陌生人，我们是不是更容易袒露心扉呢，
1>2>3 故事都是一样的：命运与相遇 文字/言语的力量 以及永恒的冲动
1.《罗生门》式的叙事看起来很漂亮。可在这个故事里，既然已经将旗帜插在了女主这边，这种叙事看起来就十分没必要。两位男性都在yy夸大普信，只有女主说得最对，这什么歪理？
前两个故事是冰山下的暗潮涌动，第三个故事是湖面微澜下时不时涌出的小惊喜。最喜欢もう一度，有些缺口是一生的，幸运的是，萍水相逢让她们不再遗憾。
影片以章节式的结构，从三位主角的角度出发，讲述了这一著名的真实事件。剧本稳扎稳打，恢弘的场景和配乐一瞬间恍惚到《权力的游戏》。
再度=魔法>把门打开。魔法最有影像的魔力，窗中反射的女子给我掌控者的错觉，后来恍然这是欺骗性的幻象。再度比较的文学，我最喜爱。把门打开文学倾向过重，写成小说更好。两个帅哥选得不错。
叹为观止，每一帧都牢牢吸引了我，边看边流泪是怎么回事。演绎“偶然”与“想象”的不同组合下，人对已放手的恋爱的藕断丝连、为不伦进行的诡计、光天化日下惊心动魄的家庭主妇与失业中年女子的角色扮演。浓浓的悬念感，三个小品各有不同的气氛，不太有名的演员与精湛的剧本，利落并充满张力的镜头，赛高的观影体验。
