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.

所以自己一个人孤独的死去 就不用去做这些思想斗争了 虽然很温暖的科幻主题 但是在该哭的地方总觉得差临门一脚 我都没哭出来 just感动 也许是因为演员的过儿吧...法海的moon river好好听 其他bgm也好棒 7.5
演技很动人，很难想象没有这样的演绎会变成什么样，这部电影的动人有演技和音乐，与所有暗流涌动的情绪相互成就和交织。就是老太太的输出总想让人阴谋论她一下
最佳风景和室内装修片。看完4K HDR真的很多帧都可以做壁纸。
阳光温暖我的脸庞
即使把家人托付给另外一个“自己”，内心也会一定觉得肯定是哪里出错了的难以释怀。
如果不按照科幻伦理片来看 毕竟剧本和逻辑上的漏洞还是很多的 单纯当作家庭和文艺电影 片子还是有很多可圈可点之处 用了大量笔墨细腻的梳理整个翻墙流动 结构和节奏非常缓慢耐心 一切都围绕着主角的内心世界设计 也算是助力冲奥片才有的效果
演技很动人，很难想象没有这样的演绎会变成什么样，这部电影的动人有演技和音乐，与所有暗流涌动的情绪相互成就和交织。就是老太太的输出总想让人阴谋论她一下
克隆体延续生命旅程的故事，一切因爱而起，一切为爱延续。本体与克隆体关系的争议从未停止，伴随着种种道德，人伦，情感的问题，人们始终无法坦然接受被克隆体所代替，也许未来科技足够发达，人的生命可以由克隆体延续，但……克隆体始终不是人类
我想我必定就是这些美好的作品看太多了，才会真爱这件事产生各种各样也许是不切实际的幻想……
原主对克隆人的霸权在于：你要介入，借助，领取我的搭建的生命意义才得以存活。
马赫沙拉的演技真的太好了 他一哭我这边就也要抽纸巾
身怀绝症之人要如何延续自己的身体机能、记忆以及情感，要如何学会告别，这部电影给出了一份答案。在冷感科幻的氛围里，平静温柔地讲述了男主做出最终决定的这一过程。想起了黑镜中的某一集，只是那是站在逝去亲人那一方的角度来看待问题的，但感情同样动人。
逝我而去
😅在戏剧性和肥皂剧之间还是回归了肥皂剧……
Technology allowing people to take away 「The pain is all I have of him」.「I love you. Always have. And always will.」
不错！人工智能多大程度上能取代人类？苹果告诉你：100%，不知道苹果公司把乔布斯的意识备份了没有？不过对我来说，这片的亮点是，终于在一部科幻电影里，看到不是透明的显示器了…透明显示器的设定真的太不人性化了…
很多人会被那种告别的哀伤和深沉的爱所共情，我反而一直在思考另外一个问题：两个一模一样的人（连最深层次的记忆都复制了），对于被复制的人而言，我会认可那是另一个我吗？对于复制人而言，我会感觉我是一种替代，还是一种重生？
3.5……克隆人的老题材没拍出什么心意，聚焦在家庭，ps未来的这个人机交互界面不是很喜欢…
也许我们惧怕的从来都不是死亡本身 而是怕当下所拥有的一切都变成虚无 怕再也不能够真实地和爱的人相拥 说不上是死者的自私还是善意的谎言 爱到底能不能因此而延续谁也不知道 但最起码此刻你看着我的眼睛说的“I love u”是真实存在
天鹅挽歌，比想象中🉑️，导演细腻得有两下子，精准展现了各种情绪和气氛及种种过度。画面很干净很舒服，和苹果手机一个感觉哈哈。科技可以是爱的延续。我的Mahershala又回来了[色]看不够哇。
