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.

对音乐剧也谈不上兴趣
No.3 有人活得像夜晚的星，不需要天天为人指路，却能长久安慰失意的路人。
此届梗王？加菲&艾玛，LMM+音乐剧&迪士尼+魔法满屋，言归正传，这片其实反高潮，歌舞多处在难熬的情绪片段，而非演绎情节的高光
以为讲电影，其实是传记
影片是乔纳森拉尔森的个人传记片，讲述充满音乐剧才华天赋的他是如何在穷困潦倒一文不名的时候坚守梦想最后终于成功的故事，他创作的最成功的音乐剧《吉屋出租》在百老汇上演了13年，可他却在《吉屋出租》出演第一场前因病去世了，可谓是悲剧天才。
勇敢去爱
Unpacking a box inside a box of another box
神奇的音乐剧，热血的音乐人。原来成功在“下一次”。
歌和剧情不是特别搭 有出戏 90年代和LGBT又是点到为止 甚至没有特别好听的歌 一般！
我能看《第七封印》《都灵之马》《四次》《另一个故乡》这种闷片都能看得津津有味，歌舞片对我来说是一个坎，上次愉悦地看完一个歌舞片还是《爱乐之城》，这片的主角本身就长在我的审美盲点上（不知道怎回事，看到这种五官尤其是咧嘴的时候，脑海里总是浮现出傻子的观感），加上每次一起音乐——不能说好坏，只能说实在是太不对路了，于是，分数再高，也无法坚持看下去，不想折磨自己。
才华横溢的乔纳森·拉森蜗居在纽约一个小公寓里写音乐，在1983年到1990年之间，他一直在创作一部叫《傲慢》的音乐剧。
石头姐有《爱乐之城》，现在加菲有《倒数时刻》了。其实开始有点get不到这个略神经质的拉森，但后半集完全被感动了，幻想女友演唱那首泳池里憋出的单曲，还有和michael的神仙友谊，以及最后跟女友的重逢都很戳。加菲把一个有点jerk的艺术家塑造的很好
蛮有意思，用了音乐剧，电影，MV穿插形式，让我觉得很有新意。那个sunday的片段很有意思，“一群傻子应该在周日上午在家里，非要在这个铝合金材质的餐厅里花钱喝冷的合成果汁和微波炉贝果”，笑4

去年mark到今年终于补上了，音乐剧真迷人，加菲演得真好真灵动，最喜欢&印象最深刻的居然是那首吐槽人们为什么要浪费钱去餐厅吃饭的sunday……无效评论1）主角在deadline最后一刻公寓停着电的高压下才写出最重要的一首歌，还一直拖延女朋友的质问，就此和头同学展开了“良好时间管理和创作者的灵感是否可以两全”的讨论；2）加菲和石头姐作为我眼中最适合的文艺前couple（和长久的意难平），各自演了一部歌舞片，两个片中还都与他俩的恋情有千丝万缕的联系，想想更意难平了；3）一直觉得唱歌女孩声音熟悉，全程疑惑这种声线的女孩是不是都长这样，看到最后才想起是歌舞青春的女主，how time flies~

故事有够碎碎念的，加菲演得也好卖力，最后资料视频加1星
又丧又燃
电影的剪辑和镜头切换是极致。音乐不错但是作为音乐电影来说的确偏弱。
《斯通纳》中的melody——爱、认同、怜悯、志业、傲骨、信任与死亡——在剧中流淌。好听好看又好玩😄
