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.

之前对潮汕的印象只有潮汕牛肉丸/奶奶好好玩儿/真的是纯方言，普通话对白都没有二十句，完全听不懂，全靠看字幕
基本点到了所有同志会遇到的处境，深柜、小软件、约炮、背叛、形婚、生子、领养到最后的出柜，就差代孕没说，典型的宝莱坞类型片，都这么合家欢同志都可以躺赢何必去抗争维权呢？！
我本人不是同性恋，甚至觉得有点恶心。
还算不错的低成本电影，基本都是新人演员表演的也还不错
1恋爱、见家长、结婚……孩子们的婚姻是大部分中国家庭的头等大事之一。当这些事发生在潮汕家庭，又会有怎样的表现？
结局女主爸爸让瑞杰姆去坐到女主身边，让我想哭。如果说警察局局长代表国家的法律的象征的话，那无疑这一行为，就是让法律也为自由，为天性，为爱情让步。从来不觉得我们的国家落后，只是这一切都也同样藏在法律之下，藏在现实之下，我们无法做到真正的平等和自由吧。
Be you.
字幕组译成“永结同心” 蛮贴切的 一部拍得很好的 宣传同性领养的商业片 喜剧 歌舞 很有印度风情 本来以为情节要he地愉快下去 最后又来了个小插曲 更跌宕起伏了一点儿 影片最后的彩虹色街头大游行真是让人泪目 大陆什么时候才能有这一天呢（当然情节上 有很多问题没有处理 直接弱化掉了 形婚就是同性恋最好的选择了吗 他们和各自伴侣之间的矛盾 家人的接受 许多问题还保留着 但对于印度来说 这已经是一部很有意义的宣传电影了）
题材可以打4星，主旋律电影算是坏了国内市场了，观众太久没看到新鲜的故事了。宝莱坞都能拍homosexual，谁又是真正的一叶蔽目呢。
想对以前有点请看宝莱坞的歌舞片的自己狠狠打一顿，披着喜剧的外套但不乏故事深度。很多时候法律的冰冷框框圈住了特定人的自由，但是人心的宽大和爱能包容一切，愿世界充满爱，Love&Peace。——看看周围国家在影视上的突破，不敢直面的国家无法进步
以为导演要拍弯变直，多虑了，印度敢拍，就是我老分不清01。
BTW. “生来过然369”《见妈》还要埋《爸行》串片梗啊
形婚的结局只能是用一个又一个的谎言来圆最初的谎言。最后那段pride游行有戳到泪点。
love is love🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
算是冷门佳作吧，没想到印度也能拍出同性题材的作品，确实颠覆了我的固有印象。在我印象里，印度的电影和电视剧一直都注重揭露社会的阴暗面，关注强奸妇女，人口拐卖等社会问题，可以说非常的大胆、新颖独特。这部电影也是如此，讲述两个同性恋，为了躲避家族的催婚，选择假结婚后发生的一些事情，搞笑中带有一些温暖和深思。立意很好，但仍有瑕疵，还有进步空间。对同性题材感兴趣的小伙伴可以一看。最后，我想到对于印度影视剧中的歌舞剧，我觉得这就是一种成功的文化输出。因为只要一谈到欢快的歌舞，总能想到印度。这也算是一种影视剧市场的成功输出，扩大了影响力，也提高了知名度。我觉得中国的影视剧也可以注重古装题材的输出，再不国际提高知名度和影响力，感觉啥啥都要被棒子国偷走了！生气！
（《真雄起》还没看过，仅通过朋友推荐语、发的图片和片名感觉，男性这单一性别的内容会占主要篇幅，而不是女同、男同、一切性少数者齐努力。以后会补习《真雄起》的。现在发言权还不足。）而这部《永结"同"心》或者叫《祝贺》也比较像沙杜sir这位男同的思想成长史。总的来说，融合了形婚、男同、女同、出柜、🇮🇳🌈游行、同志领养孩子（甚至还调侃了种姓制度）等"梗"，又是生在🇮🇳这个所谓比……后的国家，就算是歌舞部分的时间再拉长些，都值满星了！看到长长的彩虹被撑起在这个国家的大道上时，我真的很激动！！！还有一些老年演员……
真相会打破平静，但说出真相才是最正确的选择。 （谢谢你呀小du，和你在一起真的很开心）
各种十年前同志电影的套路和梗拼凑出来的，也看不到真诚。任何问题的解决都用的最偷懒的方式
最后就是，连印度都能拍这样的题材，人家也敢拍这样的题材，这样的题材拍了之后还能播，我也不知道该说什么好😊。
看的真的太舒服了，尽管都是一些家庭琐碎，但是能感受到弄弄的烟火味，也能趁机了解一下潮汕，有熟悉又新奇。
