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.

#资料馆留影#太喜欢了，比之前作滨口龙介明显进步了，无论结构形式或剧作内核都日臻成熟。小品文一样意犹未尽，观影时自然想起基耶的《机遇之歌》，滨口围绕“人生的巧合与无限可能”展开大胆的文学化想象，三个短片各有千秋，个人心中论喜爱程度排序大概是《再来一次》>《开着的门》>《魔法（比魔法更不真切）》。最后的《再来一次》无疑是三个之中最大惊喜了，两位女性角色互换互相成全的桥段充满新意又诚意满满（泪奔），即使拉长成一部感人至深的拉拉片也绰绰有余——人生充满遗憾也处处有真善美，所谓青春啊就是那些求而不得夙愿未竟的笨拙日子呢，尽管笨拙却也真挚令人感念一生。
心灵的隐秘的角落，舒缓但赤诚地呈现，意料之外的反转，最后回归于人性的共情和温柔，多个瞬间直戳心窝。这三个充满质感的故事好像是情感版的《黑镜》，讲的都是有关人性褶皱的部分，看似偶然，或源于想象，却无比真实。滨口龙介的风格越来越迷人了。
#Berlinale71 4+。滨口版肥皂剧，多拍几集拉长到8个小时也没有问题，累了就闭上眼睛听，无论何时睁开眼都是毫无压力的画面，偶尔会心一笑，偶尔幻想一下自己是故事中的角色。以前流行说找男朋友就找会拍照的，现在应该说，找老公就找滨口这样的，可以把生命中无论平凡还是狗血都拍得那么惬意。p.s.最喜欢第二个故事。
由三个短片组成，影片仅以对话推动剧情，在强大文本和优秀演员的加持下，从日常生活中提炼出触动人心的闪光瞬间。
7.5/三个故事展现不一样的相遇、离别和重逢，巧妙的人物关系和剧情设定让这种人生的偶然性别有一番滋味。
原來又是濱口龍介的作品=3333 三個小故事把「偶然」事件給出了自己的或然性的闡釋，並運用電影鏡頭來倒帶重塑時空概念，「如果⋯⋯當時⋯⋯會是⋯⋯怎樣⋯⋯」對當下的自己負責，比追悔莫及更為重要。
构思精妙，错落有致——片中角色、观影者、director、时空意象因互动而组成的多面体中，貌似一段无稽的意念，在不同的面与面之间反射、折射，美错地焕发出多彩的魔力。一小个RNA片段作为信使，让氨基酸链的不同之处带电，并因为带电的方式不同而产生出多种多样的蛋白质。哈，好玩！
剧本太好了，个人特别喜欢的是第一和第三个故事。那些未曾再联系的朋友，那些学生时期可能带给过别人光的人，希望大家都好好的。
7.9。第二段《开着的门》似有似无的也像是书里的情节一样，故意用“色情”的情节安排吸引人想继续往下看的欲望，却也拉低了片子的质感。结局很意外。《魔法》人和人的相遇是种魔法，前女友/好朋友，想应该就是提醒，在一起的时候相爱，分开后不要彼此打扰，纠缠不清，彼此做好人和人相处最基础的尊重。《再一次》是我最爱的部分，我好想她们两个分开时留个联系方式！！！就做好朋友就好。彼此相隔20年的“再会”，居然两个人都互不相识，就这样阴差阳错解开了彼此的心结/遗憾。偶然相会，却是初次见面。
第一个故事：2-3星；第二个故事3-4星；第三个故事：5星。可以细品的电影。
绫最后飞奔回去去找夏子，只因想起了曾经女同学的名字，这很重要吗？是的，这很重要，因为这就是生活的浪漫啊。
7.9/ 三个都是魔法时刻，只在日常对话里就发生了。
我和你有偶然的相遇，由想象构成联系，即使只是萍水相逢，但也交换了全部的“真心”，这样的片段也值得我一生牢记。
刚一打开，心想短片凑一凑也能进柏林了？看完只能说，对不起对不起，是我不敬是我不敬。为再来一次加半星！btw哥们拍片也太省钱了吧！
PS：被朱迪·科默美到！
只看了他的夜以继日，好感不多，不过喜欢这片第二段的前半剧情。主要是教授这个怪人的人设很喜欢，单纯只会单线程思考，听朗读就专心听，不想别的。他坚持做自己，又不闭塞（把门打开），接受外界的一切。他很喜欢知己的这位大龄女学生，但他不露感情，他可能了解过对方已婚？否则会有点露感情？“一直做自己，这样就有可能等到自己遇到同样的人彼此的共鸣与同勉”；1：前女友本来是不稳定、对自己诚实的，但在这之后成全了别人，她不表达了。男的本来是稳定的，不表达自己的。这之后见面就去开房？；3：故人面前弥补自己，借由偶然与想象，来一场自我弥补的狂欢。
都市爱情小品，偶尔看看真好，Kinderszenen, Op.15:7. Träumerei。三个故事分别对应遗憾，懊悔，缺口，剧本老练
三个都是被经验悬置的、被时间折叠的有关相遇的故事，扶手电梯、录音和电子邮件所激活的不只是对过去记忆的复写与想象，而是在召唤新的情感凝聚。当年《利兹与青鸟》看得太入戏，所以在这个片子结尾希美的名字一起来的时候就哭坏了。3>2>1，没有说1不好的意思，1的这个剧本上半年真实发生在了我的生活里，也许下半年还要继续。
还是一些文本结构的尝试，以及人物和关系的表里多面性挖掘，多了些洪尚秀的影子。（从东出昌大到中岛步再到甲斐翔真，滨口怎么看都像迷恋高个男人的基佬）
