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.

不是furry，但是狂喜了。为什么所有角色都这么可爱？狼老板老是让人联想到西游记的豹子精。剧情依旧俗，出色的依旧是各种基于细致观察和想象的设计，作为歌舞片的舞台设计也太可爱了。
这是金大中时代的故事。对于参选者而言，影子起到了幕僚的作用，也起到了推波助澜的作用。影子在背后有谁记得他？只能感叹光线越足阴影就越暗的无奈。目标一致鼎力相助时却未必能如意，分歧裂痕经年后最终还是以朋友相称。政治，没那么好玩儿。
第二部不拉夸，反而比第一部更有新意了，想去大城市被大老板赏识，最后把大老板抓起来自己做主角，有梦想谁都了不起。ps开头的动物版爱丽丝梦游仙境给迪士尼版权费了吗哈哈哈
ZZ哪儿有什么干净的。突然喜欢李善均，为看他来的，大叔真不错。
得花了多少钱买版权，离堆砌金曲就差一个不明所以得距离了。又也还没到《魔法满屋》那种音乐剧，还停留在演唱会风格。另外，故事实在是太太太低幼了。咱们就是说，一整个大辜负了期待吧。
《王者制造》，韩国拍政治题材的电影，是真敢拍，剧情把控也真的是拿捏的炉火纯青的境界，看影评很多人说都不如《南山的部长们》，但是“南山”个人感觉有点闷，像宫斗剧；而这部“王者”确感觉让普通观众能接受，剧情虽然有点理想化，但整部演员的演技实在精湛，把每个角色人物刻画的很饱满，加上节奏流畅，观感度很nice，几个老戏骨之间的飙戏，实在精彩，特别是竞选总统候选人那段，一切的计谋都验证了人性的根本，药剂师真的是把政治上的人心看得透透的，以至到最后，金云范还是要来找他，两者的会心一笑，结局尽是友谊，还挺可笑的。
如果剧情也能像画面和歌曲那么认真，就完美了。白瞎了制作团队，被编剧拖了后腿。6
看到中间pass掉好几个喜欢的节目就很气，明明主角队上来之前那个超好
所以其实我是看了部动物太空歌（舞）剧。。。╮(╯▽╰)╭
是我的错觉还是这电影太赶了？所有人都和打过鸡血一样，建议0.8-0.9速度看，给歌曲加一星，囧
故事上很弱很散，不过制作和音乐很好，最后那一段表演也确实很精彩。
电影挺好看，也是两位影帝作为男一，男二，对手戏很多，演技也好。一众配角都是熟悉的面孔！一段韩国的政治历史，在刚刚结束韩国大选的当下看，还是常看常新。台上的候选人，口号喊得震天响，但是面对对手的攻击，手段都能上得了台面么，是不是也需要“影子”做一些脏活累活自己不方便出面的事情呢！如果现在都如此，在互联网，资讯不发达的60-70-80年代是不是更有见不得光的事情呢！韩国经历的独裁统治时间长，历任在野党候选人经历几十年的努力在90年代末期才搬倒了执政党，在野党首次上台执政也太不容易了！韩国的几部政治电影都挺好看，韩影甩开我们很大的差距了
首辑是孤注一掷的音乐选与秀，五年过去早已忘记故事于是相同的角色进行着音乐剧的“售后”到了最后真的是what a show! 大量补充近年来的hitsong，跟着熟悉的旋律摇头晃脑，仿佛回到了过去的轻松与巨变前的慰藉。比较子供向，故事线也较多在2h不到里略显臃肿。临近大秀前居然来了首BTS，实在是有笑到。
跟暖午讲那个狮子就是唱欧洲杯we are the people的bono时，她都震惊了，笑
韩国人对于政治阴谋的专注度恐怕是这个星球上最高的，这次竟然延续到了“金大中”身上，虽然通过两个寓言故事，保住了其伟光正的形象，但还是为韩国人敢于一点一点扣黑点，而钦佩不已。对朴正熙时代政治生态的描绘非常形象，对政治斗争的勾心斗角、居心叵测的展现非常精彩，既可以当做历史事件认识的敲门砖，又可以作为政治实践的教学片，值得一看。
中规中矩动画电影，听听歌，至少还看得下去。
把法术式三条剖析的清清楚楚，想看黑暗政治故事的要失望了。
这部电影从音乐的角度来说，是完美的，从教育意义上来讲也是完美的，第一步我们就要先学会像猩猩强尼一样，和别人的语言PUA勇敢说“不🙅🏻♂️！”，并努力成为自己能成为的最好的人！Fighting！
The movie to start 2022: 不要让别人的评价成为你不努力的借口，仅以自勉。
