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.

拍摄方式没有特点，主要还是内容让我震撼。女人从始至终和政治密不可分。
老实说在大屏幕上看如此真实记录的电影，一点小音效就会引发生理不适，尽管拍得比钛克制地多。
很惨的一部电影，心理和生理都很痛，女性真的好难啊。
太啰嗦了，就怕观众看不懂，不懂留白和影像本身的功能吗
可能整个影片并没有此前一些相似题材的作品那么有力度，但胜在在女性主义议题上着墨更多，女主的一切行事动机皆因要掌控对自己人生的选择。最后一部分直观地展现了痛苦，让人感同身受，也是很厉害的拍法。
无删减 已有，看完觉得我等了这么久都值了。金狮奖名副其实。
配乐，表演，镜头，剪辑都可圈可点。这个星球上的女性，遭受了太多。
你之前生病了吗？我生了一种只有女人会得的病，而且这种病会让她们变成家庭妇女。
「我们的眼睛是愤怒的，我们的额头是苍白的，在他们之上，我们读到：
镜头语言和故事都不算十分新颖，但是妙在借历史呼应当下的女权运动，影片探讨的堕胎问题，是法律问题，而今更多的是道德问题，但不变的是其中女性所承担的种种压力，不管是个人自由和前途受阻还是面临着人性的拷问还是随之而来的荡妇耻辱，这些确实就像女主角说的“这是一种只会攻击女性的病”。女主角身上正发生的，是整个社会对待女性态度的一种缩影，也更是所有觉醒的或未觉醒的、发声的或未发声的女性的一面镜子，女主角两位朋友的形象很有意思，一个是典型的媚男，另一个则是心持正义却犹豫不决，但是后者那一句“欲望比羞耻来得更强烈”，真的是非常有力度，直面欲望，才不会被羞辱的锁链束缚，而这是整个社会需要学习和明白的，这也是“正发生”的意义所在。结尾真够震撼人心，大特写和摇晃镜头以及一直铺陈着的打击乐节奏终于一齐起了作用。
上一部这种题材，这么深刻的电影还是四月三周两天
我又要搬出我的至理名言了：性行为真的是太可怕了，居然尼玛会怀孕。
伴随《四月三周两天》全片的是看不到尽头的压抑窒息，堕胎后问题也未能真正解决；而《正发生》主要把力道汇聚在三场堕胎戏里，由主角独自艰难的完成，给予观众短时间内最强的情绪冲击。前者无望，后者无助。
说好的剧情片呢？明明是R级恐怖片！女主近距离特写很多，让人感同身受，从头到尾，心悬着，替她着急。p.s.是外国人身体素质太好了吗？怎么流产这么难！真想给她点麝香。
很难不想到四月三周两天，听到自然流产女主又活过来了，堕胎画面适合拿去青少年科普
拥有子宫的女性同时拥有了幸福与痛苦，而这份痛苦本身就是灾难……
很难想象是金狮奖的片子，手段和内容都毫无新意，中规中矩稳扎稳打。
432＞正发生＞Never 男生的政治学 女生的文学 只发生在女性身上的病 感染了会变成家庭主妇
我很好奇最后那一幕7月5日，这是影片第一次出现具象的日期，而这一幕之前，她在医院昏厥，所以这7月5日的一幕到底是真实还是渴望。
