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.

“我们必须离开这个国家，这里永远都不会变。”绝望又令人窒息的风信子行动，记录档案时甚至要说出性交过程、惯用技巧和体位。被一辈子存档的粉红档案，利在打压和绝对控制。他们全部坚定的认为同性恋是罪，是不耻和下作。但罗伯特深入其中又惊觉了什么呢。唯一有点割裂的是当局黑暗和只手遮天与同性恋的杂糅，最后还是偏向了所谓的政治。（ps.男主很像邱泽/张震的结合体，受有点荷兰弟的呆萌。哈哈哈也是奇怪又有趣的一组cp
出乎意料的好看。印象深刻的三个场景：唯一一场同性床戏里柔和的打光和色调，让人想到温暖的肌肤、泡沫扬起的啤酒，和带有夕阳余温的黄昏。在回忆中这一画面几乎显得有点圣洁，结合时代背景却又是纯粹的反叛和背德之举。迟疑、试探、压抑的激情一旦被点燃，可以变成一种至为生动、暴烈的激情。在审讯室揭破身份后的对话，知晓看不见的权力正在监视的情况下那种充满了暗示、秘密和被伤害的感情的交流。以及结尾波光粼粼的湖面，由远及近的警笛轰鸣，一个承诺中理想化的未来正在远去，冰冷的历史和现实正在迫近。主角的身份还有点特别的，不只是正直而一根筋的菜鸟警探，也是被赋予了特权的边缘人（否则他的调查也无法如此深入），一个系统内部的破坏者。
7.0 中规中矩的叙事 悬疑感和批判感都仅仅踩在了及格偏上的档口
女朋友人很好！妈妈那句“但你没有欺骗自己”很坚定！男主在档案上签字的时候能感受到力量！
希望历史不要重演，希望历史赶快翻篇……
起始于动人心魄的背景，终止于高开低走的故事。宏观层面的少数族群问题，微观方向的悬疑推案剧情，都算浮泛之谈。虽基于一段政治氛围冷冽且严酷的历史，但影片的视角还是有些狭隘了，批判精神可见一二，奈何这次电影人声讨极端主义的檄文落笔却不够有力。
多的一颗星就给出乎意料吧 （1985年至1987年期间 在风信子行动下 数以千计同性恋者 受到波兰公安部监控、扣押和盘问 波兰公安部设立了 一万一千个“粉红档案” 并利用有关档案 来勒索和压迫同性恋者 至今大部分档案仍未被寻获）
可能就好在，人物身份的铺垫，人物形象的反差，90分钟刚刚好，剧情紧凑，没有多余的镜头。
“波兰人不喜欢其他波兰人快乐”。充满歧视和举报的那个国家也一样，对～说的就是美国！
21年拍的西部没有一点违和感，👍
一开始死的那个人是为什么死，懵了，后面爸爸给儿子背锅了吗，我感觉是be了，明显主角要被抓到，男二瘸着也不知道能不能逃跑。
艾瑞克对罗伯特说：“做人不能什么都害怕，尤其是害怕自由...”
“我欺骗了所有人”“至少你没有欺骗自己”。
看了半天，另类题材 。原本打击同性恋的组织成员 ，有着自己心爱的女友 ，却莫名其妙地走上了 相反的道路 ，这种剧情急转，心里有些不适！
我其实觉得两男主的感情是莫名其妙的，毕竟一开始男主和他女朋友相处还挺甜的，事业也不差有爸爸一路护航，emmm。而且就男主的感情问题，不管他喜欢男性还是女性，在已经有固定伴侣的情况下还和别人发生关系，总是让人感觉不舒服很别扭……
好久没看过这样灵肉合一的床戏了😭卷毛小狗满分！
这个故事告诉我们……工作太认真就会有危险！
感觉这个类型的爱情片已经模式化了，很难推陈出新，主演再怎么美型，看多了也乏了。
这两天断断续续看的 没啥特别的感触吧 男主演技蛮好的 丝毫没有代入marry poppins
“做人不能什么都怕，尤其是害怕自由。” → 当社会的风气站在个人的对立面，你是否还有足够的勇气做真实的自己？—— “他把我儿子掰弯了。” → 隐藏在他身体里的同性取向鲜为人知但本就存在，碰到心动的人才显露出来被人发现。—— -快跑！-那你呢？我不会丢下你的。-我会去找你的。快跑！—— 1985年至1987年间，在所谓的“风信子行动”下，数以千计的同性恋受到波兰安全局监控、扣押和盘问。波兰安全局设立了11000个“粉红档案”，利用有关档案来勒索和压迫同性恋。至今大部分档案仍未被解除。
