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.

哎，trooooop de clichés，演员们surjouer，角色全都写得caricatural没有一刻让人信服…那么好笑的Dany Boon去哪里了。加了些“温情”啊所谓“浪漫”啊元素，大概这片子不是拍给法国人看的？
一栋楼，五户人家，略带夸张不失温情有点搞笑的再现了新冠时代所有人的处境，心态，关系…哦对，欠奉中国模式。
温馨的法式小品。有点意思却也只有这点意思了。
对法国疫情期间的社会乱想批判得还是不够深刻
能以全手绘风格耗如此成本制作一部oad真是太少见,虽说不看漫画完全看不懂,但是依旧被绝美震撼。动画特有的,朴素归真的。
粘在一起的隔离 一听就是疫情的电影。第七部疫情的电影，简单分一下类。《中国医生》《help》正面描写医护工作者的，《封锁》《总有爱在隔离》《粘在一起的隔离》讲普通人面对封锁，《八天就死的怪物十二日谈》《2020去死》不太像传统电影。总之全世界的电影人都在用本地观众最能接受的方式在讲述疫情，而且大多数用了网络平台发行。于是，同一个疫情，全世界各种不同的反应通过镜头和网络展示给了各个角落的观众。观众们在体验疫情带来的疼的时候，也发现了世界各地不同的电影美学，又反推电影互联网美学的发展。这比疫情前好莱坞大一统，非好莱坞美学都是文艺片的时代是一个进步吧。
看完觉得还不错，配乐镜头感，还有演员都挺好的
#磨样实验刷片#女律师也太好看了！！我先舔为敬！
人文主义在这部影片里体现的淋漓尽致 法国主旋律电影吧
原来新冠也可以以这么轻松的角度来刻画～法国人的浪漫真是从小就天生的……
面对疫情，更需要普通人的努力，乐观积极的心态，有效的应对措施，不只是医护人员的努力，平民的生活也值得赞扬，这一点，我们做的还不够。
开头半小时还挺有趣的，但实在太长了，剧情越到后面越拉胯，最后回归温情主旋律就变得无聊了。
可爱, 温馨, 感人, 疫情隔离有苦也有甜, 患难之中才见真情
感觉电影中开始的每个片段好像都有经历过或者周遭发生过。进门后猛烈的消毒主角好像就看到了自己的影子。看新闻也听说在意大利有人为了出门透气牵了一个玩具狗上街。
最后还挺感人，温情结局，请照顾好迪亚哥和小鼠鼠。
三星半。Dany 还是好玩的， 我就是觉得太长啰嗦了，应该再剪掉30分钟会更好。
#62 哼，lockdown到现在看人家隔离的小成本轻喜剧欢乐不起来
很好很山姆雷米，把我吓跳好几次。本尼颜值巅峰
丹尼一直那么可爱，虽然剧情过于松散但不同于美国屎屁尿的法国喜剧久违了。。。。
虽然中国人法国人对待病毒的思维模式完全不同，却是关于疫情的电影里最喜欢的一部, "Pandémie pandémie tu n'es pas mon amie" hhhh
