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.

谢谢豆友们的温馨提醒：这就是tv的合集（无语😓
#金帧9th#HOME4th 20220301
虽然觉得表现一般（感觉状态和主流里有点像而主流是我心理阴影），还是希望加菲靠倒数时刻奥斯卡封帝，方便磕CP。
前面的剪辑一度难进入，后面渐入佳境，最喜欢的几幕是泳池的音谱和天台的想象。好像一只蜡烛啊，尽管短暂但拼命燃烧，发光发热。如果这样活过的话，也足够精彩了吧。
把任何困難都盡全力去樂觀，永遠積極的人，觀眾看著總會覺得他在天才和傻屌之間徘徊，黎明前的黑暗果然就是最黑的，咬牙拼了。故事背後的故事，令人心疼。
是我的错觉么，这不就是TV版播过的内容么？？？
7.5分。原本以为既然是介绍Jonathan Larson，那就应该介绍他创作《吉屋出租》，并且在公演前不就骤然离世的故事。没想到电影并没有选择这段，而是直接用了他自传性质的剧本直接改编。好的地方在于真情真性，加菲扮演这样一个略有神经质的角色还是挺搭的，坏处就是整个故事你刻意随便放在任何一个落魄追梦人的身上，并没有太多的独创性。整体而言我还是挺喜欢的，主要还是歌曲的关系吧，尽管口水，但还是很对我胃口啊~~~
EP.1-7 《无限列车》
7/10。直接用传主本人的作品为题材拍摄传记片，情怀和致敬的成分点满。原声音乐不搭景和抓耳对于音乐片而言是很大的问题，但Jonathan Larson的故事以及加菲锦上添花的表演依然足够打动人心。（P.S.演示会上的reserved seat一段太容易跳戏到La La Land，原来过期糖还是挺好嗑）
恋柱·甘露寺蜜璃
这部电影和林聚聚互相成就，很难说林聚聚没有在电影的创作过程中融入自己成名之前的生活经历，幸运的是林聚聚等到了Boom的时刻，而Jonathan Larson则没有，意难平。Andrew Garfield意外唱得不错，而且把那种中二又落魄的文艺青年演得特别可爱，对女朋友那么渣都让人恨不出来。。。
tv版柱集会是我觉得最精彩的部分，可没精彩到我要花个135分钟再去回刷一遍，到底想什么呢，明明没创新还铺这么长篇幅，抽出tv版的内容压成合集做成电影版就真的是电影了？所以说打心底里讨厌合集，鬼灭迄今为止就一部电影版那就是无限列车，其余的，呵呵哒。
神烦前辈装逼桥段，但不幸的是几乎是少年漫标配。
过分戏剧化，隐隐约约能看到很多好莱坞传记片的影子。但真情实感被感动，眼泪不值钱。音乐也是真好听。
这只能算部分动画合集吧！虽然打斗的部分较少，但剧情还是不错的
歌不行，真的不行，从头到尾没有一首让人印象深刻的，光从这点上来说就是失败的音乐剧电影了。加菲都快四十岁的人怎么还是那么有少年气，但片子里一直好hysterical。三十岁，so what？不明白主角为啥这么焦虑，焦虑到都快有狂躁症了，无法relate。
能又唱又跳又表演的人都很酷 属于那种看一遍能浪漫一辈子的故事 加菲很棒 我心中2021的影帝 不要泄气 继续努力 希望每一个疯子的故事都能被展现出来 诱发更多精彩的疯子
虫柱·蝴蝶忍
再把之前的拼一块是什么意思，没有什么新的画面啊
百老汇圈为了纪念Jonanthan Larsen的诚意献礼。诚意满满但是LMM做导演不太行…七零八碎地往gig里面塞剧情结果两头都别扭。加菲还是一贯的用力型。Vanessa H 不配。龙套卡司显然是LMM在以导演的借口追星。虽说舞台版的三人表演的灵气是难以复制，电影处理也太僵硬了。
