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.

第三代接班人可真是个废物➕懦夫，gaga饰演的帕特里奇亚论能力论魄力论智商哪点不比他强？懦夫无论是家族争权、还是经营企业，干啥啥不行，抛妻弃女却是第一名🥇
这个故事本身就不算精彩吧我想，在八卦以及案件频发的现代，这样的刺杀又算得上什么呢，至少拍出来就是被离婚的妻子雇凶杀人，手法也很简单粗暴。途中出现的Tom Ford倒是更吸引我，想看他的发家史。
以为会是时装秀+坏女人爽文，最后还是黑帮片，和一个普通的女人。
1) 怎么感觉Patrizia Reggiani最著名的拜金和挥霍无度几乎就没体现出来 连她那句名言「我宁可坐在劳斯莱斯里哭 也不愿在骑在自行车上笑」也没说 咋了女人就不能精明冷血 非得真情真义扶植丈夫 被渣男始乱终弃才能由爱生恨吗 2) 铁憨憨草包Paolo Gucci虽然可能是和原型相差最远的 但也确实是冗长的流水账里最有意思的 3) 亚当司机整部电影be like: 「意大利口音 从入门到放弃」
从家族品牌到没有了古驰家族的古驰，从一个美好爱情发展到谎言欺骗谋杀背叛，这么狗血的故事竟然没有被拍出狗血感，雷公真的手软了，感觉就像把几年前的“金钱世界”又复制了一遍。嘎嘎过犹不及，我愿称亚当司机为丑帅界的扛把子...
预告片太以Gaga为中心，但其实是讲整个house of Gucci的，所以剧情略散。本质上是个capitalism经典案例😂Legacy、「品牌理念」无非是营销噱头，内里各人的陈腐，被个外人看得一清二楚；execution还是要靠管理和执行力。布景不错看。
编剧的锅太大了，把一个充满戏剧张力又奇妙的故事讲得这么平淡，甚至最后收尾真的太草率了一点吧？
整个片的视角在靠近Ryan Murphy式的八点档肥皂剧与那种有些气势磅礴的“大厦倾倒”的商战片中不断摇摆，跟得累，也消化得累。全员吹飞的演绎看下来就对诠释Tom Ford的小哥意外感兴趣（讲真以后要是有专门项目，未曾不是有趣人选），Salma Hayek有说服感，其它人更像是在演小品；其中Lady Gaga一开始就应该接《美罪》第二季，电视剧的篇幅大概能允许她有更多篇幅和时间来思考诠释角色。它依然在每个部门都精心炮制着热闹与展示对话题探索下去的兴趣，但也亟待更统一、协调的节奏。
这是一坨什么玩意，这么丰富的故事，这么多大牌明星，拍成了如此寡淡无聊的模样，也是挺厉害的。
电影难看是在预期之内的，但没想到一部时装片，这部电影并不带货，每一个单品你都不想拥有。#隔壁的Spencer拍成那个鬼样子，还可以欣赏香奶奶，都已经那么烂了，最后的tom ford环节就不能多拍拍吗？
一群a-list cast卖力地演了一出流水账…
拍的有点台湾8点档。其实雷公更适合拍LV家族是如何被现任LVMH的董事长用尽各种脏手段赶出LVMH集团。
也太鬼长了。。。两个半小时的肥皂剧还tm没节奏变化。。。Gucci的财务报表都比这好看( / 想补一星给司机少爷帕西诺，但电影院里的痛苦阻止了我。
为何要找嘎嘎小姐来领衔主演？因为她的名字里面带了双“G”；古驰家族与银翼杀手泰瑞尔公司的重大危机始于何时？将自家的“复制产品”视为非法！……前者当然是笑谈，后者在印证“作者型导演的电影主题具有某种程度的理念延续性”之外，也由此让我们怀疑本片的诸多问题是否也由此而生，因偏重理念契合而无法更多顾及叙事精细？比如，嘎嘎的女主，老古驰一眼看出此女求婚图财于是断绝父子关系，那么导演是否应该把这个突然变故反映到当事人身上？她，到底是不以为意坚持要嫁，还是面露疑虑本性隐现（也为后面的故事埋设伏笔）？奇怪的是，斯科特对此完全没有交代，好像这事儿从未发生！再看对小古驰的塑造。如果将其成婚后诸事迟弱始终被妻牵着鼻子走视作表现此人耳根软缺主见，那又怎么解释第一幕的爱美人不爱继承权之决绝态度？
"Once you think there's enough to go around, then you'll have a taste, and then you"ll want more, and then you'll want the whole thing for yourself."
时尚只有ladygaga在认真时尚 抓马只有ladygaga在认真抓马 全片看下来仿佛听了两个半小时gucci家族维基百科 无亮点无铺垫无高潮 让人发困
故事的精彩程度并没有被平铺直叙的剧情拖累，古驰家族的没落史拍得相对委婉，人物塑造也比真实中的“败家”、“拜金”来的多维、饱满。更别说 Gaga 和 Adam Driver 奉献如此精彩的演技，唯一不足就是有些情节跳转过快，割裂感严重 @AMC Waterfront 22
整体还是好看的，只是没有太大亮点，过于四平八稳了。
这么有戏剧性的历史事件怎么就是没看进去呢？前一个小时，哦不对，是整个片子节奏都太平淡了，没有看到什么商业智斗，并且男女主感情的崩盘也突如其来，伪造签名这事也没个后续。非两位主角粉以及对时尚圈无感的观众很容易被劝退。莱托我真是看到最后也没认出来。司机骑脚踏车首尾呼应。徒叹Gucci品牌已不属于Gucci。嘎嘎没二提也正常，未来还是很明朗的。
居然比金钱世界还难看，太浮于表面，人物心理变化可能要补很多资料还能体会。
