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.

最近因为奥斯卡获奖火了，但就是比较常规的成长片。
对于这种较老套得看开头十分钟就可以预测整个故事的温情片而言，填充无趣故事骨架的应是细腻真实的触感和流畅自然的脉络。但我看到什么？我看到强行安排的矛盾冲突，看到强化戏剧效果的单薄反派和困境难题，按头让你哭的刻意煽情，莫名其妙的感情和解与升温，有头无尾的的情节废笔。没有一处让人惊艳惊喜，只有颁奖结果出来的震惊。而且还是改编别人的剧本用的现成设定。whatcanIsay
是那种电影，温暖又坚定，你不能简单地说谁好谁不好，只知道这种爱与被爱，心甘情愿实在太美。
是那种看过哭过一笑而过的电影，虽然拿了BP，但是果影现阶段还比不上果剧
法版老师教呼吸法时手放她身上,我就在想美版估计没这种肢体接触~。
一个人扛起来一家的女生，要强又敏感，身边这样的故事太多了，不过她们都放弃了自己的梦想。

一碗风味不错的鸡汤。小姑娘好看，符合东方审美。今年最佳外语片《驾驶我的车》一样出现了聋哑人手语的情节，看来这次评审挺关注这样的表演方式。兄妹两的格子衫真接地气。片中校园内的合唱表演，让我想起纪录片《哈罗公学》里的合唱比赛，感慨国内普通中学的合唱团水准还很有差距。
coda本意是尾声，同时也是children of deaf adults的首字母。女孩能演能唱。
丁若铨是真正经世致用的大儒 该入仕则入仕 该缩头就缩头 只要活着就还有希望 人的出路隐藏于透明纯净的客观世界 薛景求对角色塑造功不可没 大学士一脸泥浆和仔细剖鱼的强烈对比 两个人商定好互相教学丁若铨马上说我们先去看鱼 还有跟别将的几次交锋 换个人演不出这么可爱的效果 岛上生活简直太理想化 前面笑得多开心后面哭的多大声 （程颐）“人之学，莫大于知本末终始。致知格物，则所谓本也，始也；治天下国家，所谓末也，终也。治天下国家必本诸身，其身不正，而能治天下者，无之。”
跟原版比起来改编得真挺不错的，值得国内编剧好好学学怎么把翻拍改得既接地气又不失精华。两首歌选得真好，即使已经知道情节会怎么发展还是被感动哭了。
一路走低。看剧照黑白还挺有质感，电影就完全不行。基本观感就是片中对诗场景，绝句念一遍， 白话又解释一遍，如此臃肿重复。
Film like this can win the Oscar??? On fine it’s 2022. Nothing can ever be more surprising.
这浓浓的人文关怀像突破乌云的一束阳光，在悲惨又内卷的痛苦社会中让我沐浴到了一个半小时多的温暖。
一个聋人家庭中诞生了一颗小小新星，却在人生最青葱的时光面临着社交、升学、家庭维生的多重压力。导演用抓人眼球和耳朵的音乐梦想很好地串联起了观众的注意，用镜头语言抹去了许多理性存在的残酷真相，用美好的色调和节奏为我们展现健听群体的不易生活
7⃣️面试那首歌太美了。印象中还是更喜欢法版。
You'll be there to push me up the hill.
尽管剧本来说还是略微俗套了点，但好几个桥段真的止不住泪水与感动啊，聋哑人士和家庭里唯一一个健听女生的设定，让故事从主角的家庭和梦想抉择出发，勇敢和面对现实，追逐梦想的背后是家人的理解和支持，也让这份“无声”的亲情胜过太多。世俗的另眼相待和偏见，最让我感触的是无法与外界沟通和结交朋友，就仿佛他们不适应这个世界，也是最感动的在于，他们成为了彼此的珍爱和唯一，那一场无声戏实在是感同身受。哥哥这个角色是最富有特点的，从各个角度看来他并没有把自己当作残疾人士，支持妹妹的梦想，想要依靠自己的能力打拼事业，无疑是最坚强和勇敢的，而一家人如此具有善心和情怀，也是世界上最幸福的事
