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.

如果看见身边的人一点点被磨掉曾经的光亮
我个人非常喜欢这类电影，怀念里面东京的每一个街景，
破碎，是大人的日常。让男的接受自己的普通可太难了(´-ω-`)....只有普通的人才会嫌弃普通吧；和花束的可爱没法比，男人至死是少年～他确实谁也没爱过，活该单身，七濑说的一点儿都对。男主在年轻的时候就已经是所谓“大人”的模样了，接受一切社会既定规则，20年没变。反而前女友离开他选择真正的成长，在“普通”的环境中，做自己喜欢的事情，不去固化自己同时还能安慰他人，这才是大人该有的样子，很酷。另外，女性还在被迫用出卖身体换取生存，而这就是男主嫌弃的“普通”。
我看到有人说那就是普通人的样子，我感到悲伤，为自己可能尚未达到普通这一标准。
在酒后的路上遇到曾经熟悉的人 路过发生过无数故事的街头 听到和曾经女友一起喜欢的歌 想起送花的好友 一起租的车 一起打的工 一起过的马路 第一次亲密时的心动还记得吗 我们都不想成为大人 我们也都成为了大人
“明明内心冷漠，还要装出一副热心的样子”“回到现实去吧！” 下车狂奔。故地重游，旧日重温。普通就是最好的，最好的时光，有梦想和希望。 执念让我们无法成为大人。（百分之八十是垃圾，百分之二十是人渣。但我觉得百分之一是好人。那是他们还不懂人间险恶。）（tip成田凌那部「我和你一样不正常」的普通和本部明显不同）（一无所有台词出现在不同的角色不同的时间当中，现在看来当时一无所有，好普通啊，可是普通真好。）
普通如我，绚烂总归是少数，没曾想被尾崎丰的歌圈粉了。
时间流过的一切，都会成为过去，普通最棒了。
至少此刻无法打动我，可能是因为女主不够漂亮可爱吧。谁的青春没爱过谁，拿来说十年二十年就矫情了。
影像质感非常喜欢，恍惚间连接了我的回忆、幻想、感知细胞中的日本。隽永的凄美感。话说那条商店街是我曾经战斗过的神室町吗！
很有个性的笔友哈哈哈哈哈哈哈谁本人 您这不是成为社会成功人士了吗 另一边也结婚生子过上普通生活了 哪里没成为大人了
4/5，这片子看的人很感慨，森山未来的状态其实拿捏的很准啊～～～
终点也是起点，上来就把结尾写完了，完美闭环。跟着主角一点点回溯历史，在时间轴上向后跳跃，从最普通的垃圾堆、成年人夜晚流连的街道穿梭到了青涩、窘迫岁月里最璀璨的回忆、那个生命熠熠生辉的时空。每个人都是怎样被过往凿刻成了现在的模样，成为了无数过往片段的叠加。外表再平凡不过的我们，被社会随意标记为“普通”的我们，只有自己知道，自己的内心永远不可能和“普通成年人”画上等号。当不经意被触发的回忆画面像海啸一样袭来，愿那些或晦暗或斑斓的片段已被消化成一股从内在奔涌而出的力量，让你我更加洒脱地向前奔跑。
好奇男主是怎么做到少年感与魅力大叔之间来回切换自如的，真棒！音乐 拍摄 剪辑都很棒！
从现在的角度一步步回看从前，阐述了“我们是怎样变成今天的我们”，也曾经想过穿上披风去做超级英雄，长大却不得不接受成为普通人的现实，比起从一开始讲如何走到现在，回头看反而更让人觉得心酸，年轻真好
深陷在过去，所以无法长大。几个配角戏份不多，但是都令人映像深刻
小说原著党，看预告片就已经很期待了。不知道为什么森山未来和伊藤沙莉的sp感好强….刚好两位都是我喜欢的演员。电影氛围掌握得很好，相比《花束》果然还是这种风格我更能接受。算是今年最喜欢的电影了。过几年再回头看一遍，应该会有更深的感触吧。
当时间回溯到1995年那时候一下子明朗了起来 或许是戳中了我的时间线？
我们都会成为龌蹉的大人
在社畜这条路上走了好久，我迷失在了长大的路上。现在的我真的是我想要成为的我吗？
