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.

3-2 等不到电影院上映了，所以直接下载看了（结果后来导演又被cancel）。看完之后才后知后觉电影的余味，就真的是无依无靠到处流浪，年老力衰没有金钱，子女也在他们自己的世界里好好生活着。
#生肉食用#费恩走过的其实也就是我们正在走的这条路，有时喧嚣多数孤寂，望穿无际的荒凉背后，仍有暖暖的阳光洒在远山之上。没有太多起伏，没有太多意外，但也从来没想过放弃。这种生活是否可以主导自己的自由和骄傲，是被迫选择还是心甘情愿，辛酸与无奈背后或许也还藏着一些浪漫与乐观。。
See you down the road.
大概可能有无字幕的原因，影片整体给我的感受与豆瓣剧情简介完全不同，我看到的更多的是一种自主选择，而不是被迫。明明可以放弃她的破车，但女主宁可求人也要守护她移动的家；明明好多人邀请她留下来，她毅然上路。在山林中奔跑，收集一个个好看的石头…生活孤独却热爱
但它又被不断地推着推着，总有一天要上路。人类文明的历史里，路从来都是一段过程，是从一处连接向另一处的“间在”；而总有一部分人群，他们生活在路上，也因而，生活在一段“不存在”中。
虽然并没有经历过这样的生活，但是，不知为何，却能深切的感受到漂泊者那股孤独、悲伤、却又温馨的感觉。可能这份感觉在电影中无处不在，无论是演员、画面、摄影、音乐，都被此深深的浸润，形成一种如诗般的美感。但又像漂泊者一样，这种如诗般的美感没有归宿，永无止境
内敛而忧伤。配上宁静忧郁的音乐，想着如果相同的故事也在中国西部上演。。。
就，你眼睁睁的知道自己这个游戏马上就要关服，剩下的时间已经不够重新洗点重roll甚至再攒一身pvp装备，剩下的时间里你连采草药赚钱都懒得，够用就好了，要那么多干嘛呢
能否把你比作夏日璀璨
不得不上路的原因是，无法停止思念。——女之耽兮,不可脱也。
趙婷拍父子情，捕捉的是四手聯彈的家庭鋼琴表演，這一幕令我淚目。或許這也成為弗恩最後決定告別戴夫的原因——看到別人的「homeship」，才發現自己其實是真的homeless而非houseless。她明白那是她永遠失去的東西，與戴夫友情裡的crush瞬間也終無法彌縫兩個世界的分野，於是她回到路上。每個在路上的人都帶著各自的傷痛，而connect to the earth是nomads的最大解藥。更令我喜悦的是，电影不再聚焦以往西部之旅与男性力量互相捆绑的设定，通篇从女性主体视角出发，这多难得。
最终女主角还是喜欢在路上，享受孤独，但又不是完整的孤独，她会与人交流，还沟通得很好，并不十分内向。整部片子很像小众独立制片的不知名素人演的，怪不得费兰西斯可以三封，完全洗尽铅华的feel，而梅丽尔还在执着在抓马的《洗衣店》《不要抬头》《让他们说》《毕业舞会》里，虽然演的很好，但是缺乏新鲜感。
流浪的人，何以为家。有些人确实不得不上路。。
人要是失去根基就注定四处漂泊，狂欢也不过是一群人的孤单，在路上自言自语才是常态。电影本身并没有刻意讲好一个故事，大概主要是带观众融入一种心情。 从《奥丽芙·基特里奇》到《三块广告牌》再到这部，女主一直在演苦瓜脸大婶。
别一天到晚骂了，拍一部以老年女性为主角的“中国电影”，用脚投票去电影院支持它。两条能做到其中一条，你就很棒了！有朋友说这是一部无剧情、反情节、记录风的片子。我不同意。别的不说，电影里音乐满满的，情绪满满的，抒情诗般的镜头，纪录片不是这个拍法啊，又不是《舌尖上的中国》，而且也是有情节有主线的，互为回文，前后呼应。科恩嫂这种大女主应该不是天生的，敬佩。
气氛还是有点味道的，不过始终对这种散文式电影没啥感觉。
4-4.5，多给麦克多蒙德一星。「Home is just a word, or is it something you carry within you.」开头这句台词可能已经代表了全部。很奇妙地，我想到的是最近美国的辞职潮、三和大神、字节的CQC以及最近几年投资颇多的「零工经济」方向。当然这类问题可能很难得出什么「答案」甚至没有答案，但审视本身，可能也有存在的价值。
游牧是跟着草，现代游牧是跟着一个个的季节性打工点……一个第一人称的放不下故事，但是公路真的是走捷径了……
她的无助、孤独，都随着内心对大自然的吸收而逐渐消散，即使同住的人不在了，依旧能回到最初的平静和幸福。赵婷，不简单。
