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.

9年啊，人生有多少个9年啊；
新的世代新的意识形态塑造出一个不同的EVA，相比于真心为你具有冒犯性质的具有强烈撕裂感的动画现实影像的切换，终明显是走向完全不同的更加柔和的，蔡国强选择回到泉州完成天梯、坂本龙一在福岛地震后选择回归自然、庵野秀明就选择了回归日常生活，这一次的切换与收束显得轻盈了
以这种形式出现拍成这样已经很好了，但这种形式真是让人爱不起来，还不如重看前几季
👍👍👍老友粉们都懂得！！！
片头一响起来直接泪目了😭😭😭，真的好有爱，年轻的钱钱真的好帅，瑞秋永远都好美，真的泪目😭😭
追看了这么多的eva，但是还是喜欢打使徒的那一段，后面的q也好，终也好，真的看得我头大，即便已经翻找了一堆解释，却依然云里雾里。或许补完就变成了魔法少女小圆的qb吧，没有个体之分，只在乎宇宙存亡……阿西
这或许是最好的重聚方式了：大家一起回到当年的片场，以答题的方式讲讲当年的轶事，听主创说说选角的过程，像当年进行剧本围读一样重现名场面，派配角们出来露个脸，以时装表演形式呈现以前的造型，还有那些不为人知的未能修成正果的crush...没有狗尾续貂也没有强行增添什么，六位主演都放松很动情，比预想中好太多了。能创造和参演这样的剧集何其幸运，能和陪伴自己十年的搭档成为好友何其幸运，遇到这部剧的观众何其幸运。
这已经不是我们曾经熟悉的EVA。但这却是最好的EVA。剧中的真嗣终于直面自我，直面父亲，成为了一个真正的大人。而剧外的我们也得告别过去的时光，继续创造新的未来。谁和谁在一起已经不再重要，所有人都找见了自己的意义，这就已经足够圆满。Give me the last kiss，and good-bye，Evangelion。
Friends最神奇的地方就在于无论你看多少遍 就算你都能对出台词 看的时候还是会笑还是会哭❤️
情怀拉满，十五年后再聚首。正如编剧说的，这是一个在你生命阶段中「朋友就是你的家人」的故事，而当有了家庭，这个阶段也就结束了。听上去美丽又伤感，珍惜朋友啊！！！
这个结局一言难尽，不过都无所谓了。本来接触EVA就是从漫画开始，也一直更喜欢漫画。这个系列对我来说在单行本结尾就结束了。感谢贞本义行，现在我可以确信的说，你就是最棒的。
不哭对不起自己！只是没想到原来Racheal和Ross真的有过crush…… 哈哈
以前我妈问我为什么看得一直笑，昨天我女问我为什么看得一直哭……

不再逃避那些悲伤 不再放弃那些责任
完全没有neta的欲望。庵野秀明25年前就疯了，现在更是疯到了第九层。
黑丽的重生到死亡像极了阿尔吉侬，开头高水准完全原谅了新剧场系列从我十几岁拖到三十岁，后面又给我看草稿？？？老碇为了见老婆就要补完全人类真是完美解释男人至死是孩子（缺妈）。可惜了加持美里一对璧人
想重温一遍。每次心情低落的时候看看老友记，都会开心温暖很多。
再见了，所有的EVA。再见了，曾经胆小怯懦的碇真嗣。再见了，温柔又神秘的渚薰。再见了，敢做敢当的明日香。再见了，一直默默守候的绫波丽。再见了，可爱的真希波。再见了，新世纪福音战士。
我已经快要开始老去，人类还是没能开上人形机甲；而且还要创造一个没有eva的世界。我甚至開始懷疑自己是不是真的長大了⋯⋯
