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.

我喜欢到处看看，但又不知道去哪，乘客刚好会告诉我去哪
特定的日子在每一年倒序发生的事情
日本版Lala Land。公园男的线索看得人太心碎了。主cp（的过去）甜则甜矣，好像并没有在化学反应之外很打动我。女主十分可爱，确实声音让人着迷，一直在想是不是给ももちゃん配音的…
“给BL打掩护”？他妈的这就BL了?这就爆炸了?这还是🌈 片?
前半小时真的会被劝退 看的你云里雾里 然后慢慢清晰了 原来是爱情的倒叙 两个演员演的太棒了 一个是现代舞无业青年 一个是热爱艺术戏剧的青年女司机 两人的这种貌合神离的爱情 碰撞出的独特爱情之美 海洋馆里的游弋起舞 路灯下的醉酒学舞 真是有趣极了 看到结尾 这片名翻译的真神来之笔 爱情的故事 果然是想起了一些

善良是职责，要用一生去完成。善良是鲜花，要用清水去浇灌。善良是烛光，要用心火去点燃。善良是珍珠，要用道德去购买。
作为商业向的青春片，能够落在“青春充满遗憾，但那样也很好”这么克制的点上，已经很值得叹服，但更重要的还是拍出了“当代感”，这点足以吊打各种撑着怀旧拐杖不肯撒手的国产青春片了。吴磊浪费了这么多年的花期，能够在青春的尾巴上演到这么一部，我可以安息了！
爱情虽美好，但结局却未必。
想起来总是有些遗憾的吧，毕竟我们曾一起那样憧憬过未来…
情侣间温馨平淡琐碎的日常 伊藤莎莉和池松壮亮用细腻贴地的演技给这个故事增色不少 片中几次女主的泪点都和我的泪点重叠 会让人不自觉的跟着笑跟着哭让人共情 这才是爱情片应该有的样子
7.3分，每年对方生日时会想起，既轻盈又承重，既快乐又忧伤的回忆，浓厚到难以自拔的气氛在最后让观众陷进去。
总的来说，没有特别多感觉，有点平淡，比我的日常生活还平淡。
我所剩下的只有去阳台上，等待夏天26日的太阳缓慢升起的，一根烟的时间。
可以确定的是高于滨口龙介执导片单的平均线，高于《驾驶我的车》《夜以继日》，跟《偶然与想象》《激情》持平，对爱情失败的追究亦有刨根问底的切切的决心。最终分手的导火索极具代表性，是那一类有关“不说出来怎么传达真实的想法”的分歧。野原叶认为内心有什么想说的话，一定要明明白白说出口，希望全世界人类都使用同一种语言，以免沟通不畅；照生则认为言语没办法准确传达内心所想，两个人不说一句话，同样会明白彼此心意相通，而言语徒增错讹与繁琐。7月26日0点像是一道符咒，彼此自行启动记忆开关、追溯爱情的来龙去脉，而最甜的记忆则化为利刃，一刀复一刀剜不掉心头旧肉，亦长不出新肉。她躺在他身边，说很想他，他说，“不如我们在梦里相会，在三丁目的某处”。拥有过真爱的人不免唏嘘，原来大家在爱情中的占有欲如此相似。
“爱情是不存在的，存在的只是爱情的证据。”
电影结构挺好的，就是稍微想起一些。就是男女主的颜太普通了，男主我一直Get不到。
弊，俾作上岸埋街食井水状嘅愤青回插心口一刀。瘟疫后不再粉饰失望，疲累到不想煽动甚至刻意拒绝共情，旧记忆旧理想赤子心请尾崎世界观返场一并送葬。结束地球最后的夜晚，清晨无限迫近东京，永远告别夜空一抹最深蓝曾经送来的一段喘息。
本来就喜欢「地球之夜」，无意间看到这部 再看名字 海报和演员表，感觉就是我喜欢的类型。越看越喜欢 越心痛 特别是后半段，“只是回想起”，追溯过去在你我记忆里闪光的片段，只是今天突然想吃蛋糕，摸到时间的脉动后天空也显得些许寂寞。
池松神奇的一点是，演什么角色我都不会出戏。太爱这电影了。
