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.

就是看个情怀 至于为什么十七年都没有聚到一起 为什么十五年后不可能再聚 总觉得也许有些表面看不出来的瓜吧
尽管没什么实质性内容但看的就是情怀嘛。
是从第一秒就开始想哭的程度，我好爱这六个人😭😭😭😭
成長しろ。もう自分自身をはっきりしないと… でも、このままでだめなの？
流媒体主导的短平快娱乐时代又一个心机爆款，当下看当然是哭是笑是激动是无脑五星，长期看，当“活久见”和“爷青结”成为日常，可能也需要抽离出来想一想，情怀这东西，到底还有几斤几两？
没有人觉得庵野秀明长得像郭帆吗？科幻导演的标配脸。
不是所有人都爱/适合参加同学会
一边笑一边感动，friends的笑点永远不会过时，他们六个人的感情也好像永远没有出戏
仨姑娘保养得真好！！！
没想到是从Janice出现开始哭晕，“I had a major crush on Jen”
从头到尾不知发生了什么事...经过劳动教育和思想改造之后，真嗣软饭男跟前女友们依次告别并和新女友开展新恋情...这么一个直男意淫故事为什么EVA还没有被woke？？？
我庆幸又不希望friends和我的高考捆在一起，那些暗淡无光的日子用很多句“我记得！我也记得！”便能证明所有复杂的欢乐和眼泪，节目纪录片的形式就很好了，让一切平静地，快乐地继续下去
おはよう、おやすみ、ありがとう、さようなら、すべてのエヴァンゲリオン。
要怀旧给你怀旧，要情怀给你情怀，要幕后给你幕后，要名场面给你名场面，要瓜给你瓜，作为粉丝简直不能要求更多了。用了17年时间让这6个人聚首，岁月已经改变了他们容貌，作为粉丝的我却还总是通过一遍遍重温《老友记》以为自己还是少年。2021年5月观影
我以为是角色重聚，原来是王牌对王牌款~~~重聚~~不过感情的确太深，看场外再现还是很好笑。筒子们~~~掐指一算，人家完结17年，咱们毕业17年了，退休进行中~~。
完全相反的结局，不知道是庵野的妥协还是他对生命有了新的诠释，多了的是在人间的小确幸，不变的是生命的残缺不全。或许庵野借角色内心独白完成了抒解，也就不必达成人类补完了罢。这部观感上来说容易很多，大量的文戏也降低了接受的门槛，但总觉得少了eva味，并非我喜欢的结局
最终 所有人最后 都有了归处 长成大人了 也没什么不好吧 :)
3.5，相比前边三部总算是有了进步，至少开头的村庄生活与结尾的一一道别终于有了真情实感。我不否认这个系列创制出了宏大的世界观和富有想象力的视觉呈现，但是剧情的表达确实有很大欠缺，人物的成长太草率，本应象征身心二元论中的肉身的EVA外壳却也能拥有情感和决定，否认了人作为灵魂/心象征的独立思考，但是最后又没有去解释或者进一步推敲，甚至危机的解除也仅仅回归到情感的理解和释放上，还是太浅了。最后，没有必要却反复出现的软色情真的还挺猥琐的。
人物故事线烂得一比，骗沙雕的把戏。
真的是为数不多我会重复看的剧集，每个角色都很喜欢，不同的年龄看总会有不同的启发。看他们重聚就觉得真棒啊，当年的经历那么美好，现在回忆起来也弥足珍贵。
