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.

如果你不是认真看过TV版旧剧场版的EVA粉丝，那么这只是一部8/10的高水准动画，可你会觉得没那么劲爆精彩，尤其剧情有些莫名奇妙。而如果你是EVA的老粉，那么这就是一部10/10的属于你的青春纪念诗篇。
“受伤的人并非只有你一个……
恭喜庵野秀明解开了心结（诅咒）。
我想多抱抱燕
上小学的我第一次看了Eva，那时的我什么都不懂，但大受震撼，后来我跟着剧场版看了一个全新的Eva ，我还是不懂，不懂为什么庵明老贼当初要写那么一个晦涩的故事，这次我都懂了，人最终会和自己和解，20年前和20年后，那都是他眼中的世界，再见了Eva。
所谓长大成人，就是当我们面对这个肮脏的世界时，发现不全是坏事。
之前那个需要被补完的男孩，长成了大人了，不会再逃避，主动要求驾驶初号机，可以去补完他人了。
我来过这里好几次，也见过你好几次
再见了，EVA！再见了，青春！再见了，绫波丽！谢谢你真嗣！
原来一直都纠结在我没有看懂这一部，但是看了几条短评以后我释然了，这部终结篇看懂与看不懂其实不重要了，重要的是终于要和这个ip说再见，淀真嗣长大了，我也告别了青年向中年迈进。
很真诚，同eoe一样，想要回应这个当下，想要给出自己的解答。为此电影的想象力分别落脚在过去与未来，过去即第三新村或者说战后百废待兴的日本（充满昭和气息的陈设、电线杆上的空袭警报，明显到不能称之为隐喻了），而未来则是玛丽，那个不属于此前的世纪末eva世界、来自新世纪的闯入者。后半截浩大的舰队战（美里的神风、战舰隐藏的“yamato”代号）是二战的重演吗？它好像意味着，那场同碇源渡的最终决战，是重塑一个有别于当下日本的日本主体的努力，是修正父辈过错的努力。所以玛丽是什么呢？玛丽就是来自被修正历史的日本的人、是无需背负历史之重的新人（最直观的例证是，她是这部片里头唯一一个没有心结的人）。可是，我愿意相信的成长，绝对不是对一个不再创痛的幻想的许诺，而是真实伤口的永劫回归。
最后的最后，真嗣告别了父亲和母亲，告别了爱自己的男孩和女孩，选择走向明天，这一直都是一个男孩成长的故事
但当我遇到唯之后 我不再需要耳机了
我该说些什么？“你寻求一直是一个互补的世界。”“没关系，我能承受痛苦和心碎” “你隐藏起来的痛苦，我想和你一起承受” “我是多么幸运，能够找到你，爱着你，直到时光尽头”摧毁，迷失，重建，真嗣终于能够站立于现实世界了。EVA，这该死的痛苦又幸福的感受啊。永别了，所有的EVA，再见了，真嗣般懦弱而不成熟的我，自己。
痞子给了每个人一个完美的结局，痞子长大了，碇源堂也终于长大了，欣慰……最后还是有点心疼真嗣，真希波是个什么鬼啊！
一九年年末我通关了《死亡搁浅》，而几分钟前我看完了EVA剧场版的最终章。
本来打了小四百字，然后全删了，没什么好说的了
已经是二零二一年的八月了。
向不再少年的“少年们”献出的终曲，是经典再延续，是概念新突破，更是银幕内外世界的破壁融合。
瘩子绝对是故意的，我怀疑为了强硬拼凑出“真嗣成长为大人”的剧情而瞎胡编乱造
