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.

6b4t之后再也不会相信“eva不是宅向动漫”这种话了 这真是宅向得不能再宅向了。。。年纪大了也不会因为母性觉得碇真嗣这样的自闭男孩有吸引力 女性角色都很不错 除了莫名其妙都对真嗣好感之外 明日香的结局不错 我想看这部电影 2014-08-16
越想越气…
我很怕和別人建立羁绊
从14岁看到40岁，看到大胸美女拉起碇真嗣的手，说实话我觉得这个结局很完美。《新世纪福音战士》的实质，是一部混合了机甲/巨神兵器、战斗、后宫、耽美、文艺、心理、末日题材、阴谋、少年拯救世界的燃/萌动画大杂烩。
看完心里有种莫名的失落，一是因为等来的不是心里想要的结局，二是随着系列的完结中二过的自己却还没有真正成长，有种朋友都已经成熟走向远方自己却还留在原地的感觉
遇事不决意识流吗……回归圆满固然好，但远没有旧版来得震撼。庵野秀明的脑洞和想象力确实空前绝后，没有任何铺垫也能把高潮顶的让人张目结舌，但回归故事本身还是欠缺了完整作品本该有的层叠推进和流畅感。很遗憾。或许就和故事本身要表达的一样，不完美的ending才是ending吧。以及最后一直说要弑神，但更多其实是神（渚薰）和近神（唯）对人的爱拯救了人类。人在最后结局能做的，只是不停的告别，和每一个人，包括自己和解。爱是意识宇宙中的光，只有充分了解爱，才能在反宇宙（意识宇宙）中挽救物质世界，从而续写人类文明史。且按照熏的自述，真空衰退他才会消失，那物质世界继续，亚当也依然存在，物质世界的完结在时间流逝中走向必然，只是不再在庵野秀明的笔下了。
（感情层面上）逻辑清晰，合情合理。没想到这8个字有一天可以来形容EVA。
伴随成长的同龄人如今早已不再中二，而是被现实裹挟的油腻麻木，一路走来早已懂王，但内心还是存有最初的纯真，所以结局充满了迎合粉丝的和解，算是不意外的终结了，就是人物关系太强行了。最可惜的是各种设计再也没有了当初的神秘感，过分的设计对接单纯的终极目的充满了迎合时代时尚的多余剧本设计，最后节奏直接可谓拉稀，创意枯竭再也没有曾经剧场版的神级惊喜了，失望至极。
yue，女性角色在这里面就是一群服务阿宅的🐔
只看到一个多年来被神化的人终于卸下了沉重的光环，其余无他。

真的是20几年，第一次看的时候惊为天人，懵懂和困惑，我就这样莫名其妙读了哲学系，然后人生就这样跌跌撞撞的走到了现在，貌似我不仅看懂了，还哭了好久。

2015-04-11标记为想看，2021-08-15的今天改成已看，释然。
按科学的命名法，近第三次冲击应该叫做quasi third impact而不是near三。配乐拉胯，随便用个巴赫或大俗威安魂或者Janacek的Glagolitic Mass也要好得多。
补完就是一个漫长的告别
最后长大的居然是我，我整个为之狂热的夜晚和过去仿佛在一瞬间结束了。如果可以，我还可以等下一个漫长的每一年。
之前看剧透以为是故意而为的差结局；现在发现，如果我是明日香，剑介也会是我最好的保护者；如果我是真嗣，玛丽也会是我最好的保护者。
少年啊 从梦里醒来可是要穿正装挤地铁上班的呢
所有的人都成长了，都得到了救赎，人类也迎来了新纪元，一切都欣欣向荣。希望大家都能好起来。
