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.

故事很简单，感情纠葛了半天，直男永远都是直男，gay最终还是活出了自我。主要是为了男主看的，说不上哪里帅，但就是很戳我，演员把直男气质演绎的淋漓尽致，这简直就是我身边大多数直男的形象。但编剧把这种直男的形象过于美好化了，历史经验告诉我们，事实上是，永远不要碰直男，他们感觉自己在被骗后只会让你尝到“铁拳”的滋味，如果还像剧中那样纠葛不清的，基本都是bi或深柜。
就是前面太长了
之前和英国朋友聊起青梅竹马，她不明白人为什么会对playmates一生难忘。现在我才明白，“青梅竹马”不是childhiood playmates，而是childhood crash.
或许看这样的电影，除了看脸，再还就是看看拉丁美洲大陆人民的风情。
他在并不能确定其性取向的情况下，和男人在车里像温柔的恋人那样做爱，同时男人也发现他的秘密，这时因为男人为寻找他在小镇里四处张贴其照片，他的身份也暴露了，宗教和社会的胁迫让他無所適從，但结尾是好的，他们都因为这次相遇而感受到自我的存在，并作出了利己的选择。
“你走进了我孤独的私人荒漠，而我给了你一片爱的绿洲”，虽然无关结局，终究是意难平
故事上两人的视角转变，结尾在合二为一，讲的不再是感情，而是文化和社会的现状。
这个小故事不需要俩小时来讲吧？看得不明不白的。
错误的寻人海报，暴露了男孩不为人所理解的秘密，也催化男孩决心换一片土地“活成真的自己”。送别时刻，丹尼尔承认心中的爱情，一场激情过后，车站挥手告别爱人，目光投向远方。挺好的结局，爱人没错过，没有预想中那么荒芜。
。生活事业都不如意的硬汉警察男主，网恋对象也与他失去了联络，他驱车千里去找她，发现原来她是一个二十几岁年轻男子的他，该怎么办呢，... 展开
中年大叔线下见网友，参悟了自己的真心，看懂了生活。片中人物的情绪从镜头漫延而出，配乐很好的烘托心境。人物背景和所陷的困顿交待的也很彻底，又点到为止，没有过于抓马，不会使人觉得影片里的角色只是在走程式，反倒真实的抱有恻隐之心。丹尼尔面对事业家庭多方压力，最终驱车索爱，从生活里透一口气。应和了开头的浪漫，跑步放空时，能同时做到想你，却又和跑步一样让我喘不过气。丹尼尔印发多份寻人启事，终于莎拉的伙伴提供了线索。可两人的几次见面，从欣喜忐忑转而变为愤怒疑惑。好像这一切不该发生，两人怀有的希冀只存在于个人在网络上的情感投射，两人依旧面对着各自的荒漠。莎拉在生活中其实叫罗布森，跨性别而一直不被家人和教会接受。新的城市是再次试错的地方。但令人伤心的是，成为一名异乡旅者却是出于被迫。
在长达半小时的家庭伦理大战之后，终于抛弃了琐碎，丢下了生活终于寻找了自我。爱不分性别，人亦是。没有隔阂的灵魂之州，照片追寻你的足迹，夜路路灯下的宿醉，缠绵悱恻的吻，终究是爱意打败了抗拒。结尾的处理好棒，终要跟爱情告别，与生活上路，车开，字幕起，音乐响起，私人的渴望早就成了两个不分彼此的爱。
曾经生命中出现了一道光，但现在却陷入了无尽黑暗。曾经奋不顾身爱上的，现在却都分崩离析。也许只要你一个转身回眸，我们的私人荒漠就会重新恢复生机，但总有很多无可奈何无法改变，好在手臂上的石膏已经砸碎，他已挣脱了囚禁的柜子。最应景最令人心碎的total eclipse of the heart🎵🌈
一般吧，将就可看。有人会有泪点，也有人看了昏昏欲睡。
也许十年后会更喜欢一点吧。
很私人的叙事。最后蛮温暖的。真正的爱需要触及对方的内心，性别、外在的一切都只是躯壳。
在前面的长铺垫下，丹尼尔转变的契机看起来非常脆弱，以前期的人物塑造走向来看他的自尊心彻底崩溃再次走向暴力更有说服力。
点播一首离别的车站，“也许我会留下来当渔夫”，车驶出后方看见车站外的荒漠。Daniel全城贴网恋对象的照片寻人简直恐怖故事
把一个变装男同catfishing（基本上是）直男的故事讲得这么忧郁。为什么都觉得他是深柜双/同？他对这个网聊女人的渴望让他毅然出走、寻找，如果他找到的真的是个“女人”，哪儿还有什么queer？与其说是深柜中的觉醒，不如说是刺激下的放纵。这次之后他会主动找其他男的？没多大概率吧。
喜欢小动物的人应该会很喜欢看吧。挺好的影片。
