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.

get到了马伊琍，想念一位诗人和我给他的洋甘菊，想念老大昌苔条花生蝴蝶酥恒隆修鞋摊和咖啡，并且觉得原来中年的生活也可以过得有滋有味。
私封为今年的年度电影。几场餐桌戏里的场面调度十分精美，加上美术馆一场中戏仿的戏剧感，在日常鸡零狗碎的主题里制造出了一种神秘的升格。对性别议题大方地讨论，甚至让人产生一种这是一部在正常国家拍出的正常电影的错觉。
《青春变形记》今日上线Disney+！这绝对算得上是近几年皮克斯出品动画的天花板之作！简直好看到爆炸！！！影片由《包宝宝》导演石之予执导，虽然聚焦在多伦多唐人街，却有着满满的中国风！大红熊猫真的可爱到爆，影片细节也是极其考究。故事设定在2002年，祠堂里日历上清楚的显示着马年，家庭风格与唐人街设计也十分还原！影片借助焦虑会变成红熊猫的设定去表达一些青春期的问题，对此影片的人物刻画的非常到位，切实体会到了青春期那段畅想、叛逆甚至焦虑的时光。不断的成长，克服道路上的困难，认识自我，理解家庭，这部作品用高质量的动画诠释了这些概念。准备二刷了！
開年到現在浸了倆月華語電影，總算看到一個能把對白寫好的本子了。當然這片子好處還很多一時講不完。最好的一處，帶我回一趟魔都。我的上海。真的上海。我如索非亞般難以置信的黃金年代
精致轻松的电影，原本以为沪语是作为最大卖点，但核心和演员都让人非常舒适。中年人的爱情，居然也是如此可可爱爱。那些试探和欲言又止，唇枪舌剑却又成为同盟，温柔和接纳都因阅历的洗涤变得顺理成章。山呼海啸是爱情，细腻绵延也是爱情，理解相帮是友情，针锋相对也是友情。但最后都会成为心中的温柔。金句频出，各种小反转，把生活描摹的优雅又烟火气，理应对立的两端，和剧中的人物关系一样，和谐共存，真挺好看。曾经看到过一个调查，中年人对爱情的需求比年轻人更甚，孤岛终归需要与世界连接。
元素多样且不干尬 自我感觉还蛮伍迪艾伦的 所谓爱情神话 就比如说 一切气氛都恰到好处 在这一刻我感觉到很安心 所以我想在此时说爱你 于是爱情就展开了... 不过电影只说了开头没有说结尾 结尾被伍迪艾伦说了 “当爱情结束时你就会告诉自己 那一切不过是回忆....” 如果对你来说爱情是神话，那么分离也是
要素过多。。健身不练腿 早晚要后悔 非礼你看不下去切了个bgm是M83吗？？
这句话是你如何去理解这部电影
很适合找个假期约三五好友窝在家里一起看 最大的败笔大概就是小爱豆吧
国产电影现在开始进军独立音乐这个素材库了，从《雄狮少年》到《爱情神话》，很难不想到杨宁老师说的那种靠bgm推进的烂片。国产独立音乐可比国产电影灵多了。
不能欺负woody allen不能发话随便一部叨逼叨逼都说像woody allen吧，女性发声的编导片为什么找个男主演非常奇怪
没有老城经历，实在难以与那种古早情结发生共鸣，像在看一个无法进入的宇宙。但其他的我都喜欢，喜欢这种平淡充实的生活积累，钟情于日积月累的点滴堆砌而成的体面踏实。只有一处我的情绪翻起波澜：众人聊得正欢却听到女影星去世的传闻；明知是与自己没有真实交集的东西，但也习惯了如同那远远地一直挂在天边的月亮一样的存在，月亮灭了，不影响生活，但你就是知道月亮灭了，月亮不会再亮了。创作者借角色之口对某些现象发出隔空喊话，旗帜鲜明态度凌厉；我倒是更喜欢最后一段大家看不进去“经典”开始擦护手霜的场面，无法理解的东西，安安静静地走神也不错。
有作为工艺品的闪光点 合格的喜剧 但还是有些遗憾 想夸赞很用心 但努力的方向有些偏差
《爱情神话》
天啊，太多熟悉的场景了，安福路的话剧院，马里巴昂，甚至好像看到了静安别墅的夏布洛尔（？），费里尼的电影直接飞回大学时期了。第一次看到地道的沪语电影，也有点感动，加一星。想起了一些老朋友，经常周末坐在巨鹿路噶三湖到深夜，聊一些圈子内的八卦情史，聊村上也聊罗曼罗兰，其实也是很浪漫的一段日子。编剧年轻，前途无量。
电影里那句我不过是犯了全世界男人都会犯的错，和那句不要爱上我因为我很危险，以及两个女人说完这话以后没有示人的表情都挺值得玩味的。
怎么能差成这样：視角混亂、鏡頭語言一塌糊塗、音樂濫用、美學東拼西湊、各種段子和抖機靈、導演功力為0全靠演員演技支撐。
看这种电影的第一感观是对作者的感慨和喜爱，在国产电影里我们有多久没有直接和电影真正的创作者对话了。整个电影轻松、诙谐，说是属于上海的地标电影一点也不为过，没有外滩，没有东方明珠，只有方言和上海的人情就够了，我们太稀缺这样的有趣的电影了，对导演以及这部电影的所有赞誉都是值得的。自然有新手导演的那种都要塞一点而无法取舍的问题，但基本上都可以忽视。我觉得对于国产电影的意义来说即好的本子和好的投资人是相辅相成的，同样感谢本片的这些演员，没有他们这部电影也会失去很多光彩，《爱情神话》的成功不是偶然，是我们太需要这样有趣的而又没偏离生活太多的电影了。个人唯一有点点遗憾，餐桌戏为啥要忽视或者减轻酒水和食物的存在，那种饮食男女的感觉就在筷子边，却没有下筷子确实很急人，这是我唯一的不满。
青春变形记翻译得很好，青春片版的变形记，隐喻手法经典而直接有效。迪士尼讲了这么多年的反抗父权压迫（这片是母系家族）、女孩勇敢做自己的故事，这部找到了一个视觉上非常萌趣可爱、故事轻松明快、有燃点又不会太有说教味的方式，就问有谁会拒绝能变大只萌熊的超能力呢！萌晕了！我认为是好莱坞制作水准和华裔题材、中华文化元素结合得最好的一部，亚裔女性视角下的鸡娃浪潮、青春期少女的叛逆冲动也能引起共鸣，没上院线以及被引进中国真的太可惜了......（已经看到一些骂这个片子丑化小熊猫、对中国家长刻板印象、迎合西方戴有色眼镜批判传统文化之类的一星差评了，真是毫不意外呢）
可以看！豆瓣评分诚不欺我，全程沪语要提前注意
