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.

是《薄荷糖》也是《世界上最糟糕的人》。在经历成长之后谁又能成佛？大家不过转身拥抱生活成为了普通人。一尊没能成形的佛在自己心里，只有自己会知晓和怀念。满分。
尽管音乐剧场面更宏大，音乐也都是公告牌耳熟能详的歌，但都不如第一部来的惊艳，可能也和不是在影院看的没那个氛围有关吧
前半部一般，但是这一部后半部的舞美设计我觉得比第一部还好看。
比精灵旅社好看多了，而且马修的声音配这个考拉脑袋简直上头，更想撸了（不是）
『君の身体にも成仏してない言葉が詰まってるよ、きっと』
拍得还不错 还是有差别的 即便都是文艺中年一边说别人“普通”aka“长大”一边又自我厌恶的东京城市物语 也是有优劣差别的 更踏实也更消极和怅然若失的拍法 看到拍照的一瞬间东京塔熄灭 以及最后的走马灯还是触动了 所詮、「大人」でなに？普通なやつ？っていうか「普通」でなに？責任を取れるやつ？責任でなに？マンスター都市の労働力に無言でなれるやつ？結婚生活を憧れるやつ？人生をちゃんと自分の手で感じるやつ？「大人」でなんでしょうか。失ったことに堂々とサヨナラを言えるやつだろう。私にとって
这和《花束般的恋爱》有任何一点相似之处吗？为什么要拿它来作对比？倒叙式的平铺直叙，似乎是为了丧而丧，全程男性视角让我无法共情。画面是好看的，尤其是中间有些照片比影像更好看，但这也太普通了，啊对，“普通”就是它的主题。
以为平平无奇度过的那些人生正是自己现在向往却回不去日子
剧情太简单粗暴了，即使有好听歌曲加持，也没办法喜欢上了。就是遇到挫折的坚持找到自我的故事。我都怀疑是为了出歌曲，才拍的电影。像极了为了把低俗小电影情节穿起来而拍的办公室美女下班公交车遭遇片。。。
“太普通的事不想做”，但最终还是都做了，每个人都差不多，其实跟《花束》异曲同工，只是换了男生视角。
优点和《花束般的恋爱》的差不多，缺点也是，像是日本青春文学版本的《薄荷糖》
不复第一部的精彩。纵使原班配音回归，新老金曲涌现，也拯救不了剧情的乏味单调。貌似要引入新人物形成矛盾，奈何这种对立说不通，显得格外突兀。看过了太多“办晚会”，自然失望于本片的平庸。随口一提结局疑点，剧场大亨老爸锒铛入狱，女儿波尔莎竟追随一帮初初相遇的平民？
小苏和佐藤一起唱尾崎丰的时候真的太好了，喜欢这一段。太好了让森山来演这一部，浅野堇太好看了。
剧情好随便，挺热闹的，有些小细节蛮搞的，好喜欢🦁️的毛发和表情～
从Miss Crawly负责排练开始，整部电影开始变得好看，最后的音乐剧简直太出色了，尤其是Porsha的part，很有一种冲破束缚、寻找自我的感觉，很喜欢很感人，太爱这部电影了！
3.5. 并没有超越前作，但从The X Factor到一出视效惊艳的space opera倒也创意满满。因为叙事线索过多，导致真正的音乐演出部分在我看来并不过瘾，但是这些流行金曲串烧再加上非常用心的舞美（最近的动画choreography倒是越来越出彩了），也是符合the festival vibe of the season了。
彼の体の隅々に打ち込んでた他人の文字が成仏せずに残ってた。森山未來さんはすごくいいです。
3.5
最后歌舞的呈现其实可以更用心一鞋。歌单还OK，但是光唱歌了，和电影结合得并不好。
完全不敢沉浸其中，说起丧劲还是日本人拍的味儿正。
