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.

唐家屯是个美好的地方，总是乐于助人，也就总能收获美满，富贵温馨，祥瑞快乐，同时极富感染力，让每一个生活其间的人都被同化感召。本片最令人遗憾的是老太太终于走了。
最后那个灰色的长镜头，是剧组在给十多年的观众告别吧？不管是不是，都万分感恩和唐屯的相遇。
一个童话般的ending。奶奶真是完美善终了。
纯粉丝向电影，对新观众来讲就是冗长平淡乏味的两个小时。
又回到俺滴英格兰唐顿老家，每个人都看着好亲切。老夫人和Thomas，这整个系列塑造得最成功的两个角色，是新时代却也是一个时代的终结。老夫人的金句直到最后一刻也在带来智慧。Thomas这个一开始令人恨到发抖，最后看到他却有了家人般的安心感，却因为不可言说的原因被剥夺了结局和一个配得上他的告别，我真的会恨！以及马修古迪这个只会开车不着家的渣男，却要大小姐拒绝hugh dancy这种帅哥，暴殄天物啊！真的太喜欢hugh的声音了！还好harry戏份不少让我心生欢喜！唐顿对我来说真的是像梦中的精神家园一样的存在，虽然剧情线也不得不顺应时代，让庄园的生活面对各种新时代的冲击和挑战，可是真的希望时间停止，再梦久一点，真的会怕进入二战时期的唐顿呜呜呜
情怀单独加一星，一个时代的落幕，希望Barrow真的找到了好伴侣，唐顿真是少有的这些时代剧里拍得又精致可看性又高的作品了，最像老夫人的还是Mary啊。马修这个老公也太不靠谱了。谁能不为参与到一部电影的拍摄而激动！
3.5 标准冲奥系音乐片。泳池里的五线谱令我眼前一亮。为一展歌喉的帅气加菲奶一个来年的影帝提名。
美好的续篇，节奏很快，化妆有点怪，我是希望可以一直拍下去啊，但是生活不是这样的
就还好～纯粹是追情怀了！！！2011年9月开始为老夫人追唐顿，到今天因疫情没贡献票房～我真是醉了！也佩服朱利安老爷子能把这故事从剧拉到电影～也算是把情怀做到最大了！大Mags都吐槽这老太太估计得110岁了😂
你好我好大家好，我们都有光明的未来，最后降甜度的操作恰如其分得让整部电影没有齁甜
唐顿庄园见证了无声电影向有声电影的转变，并做出贡献
一个婚礼，一个葬礼。一场电影，一座别墅。new era 仅仅指一位老人死去，一个婴儿出生。时代还停留在两战之间，还没拍到二战呢，所以还可能有续集。作为追完全系列剧集和第一部电影的人，还是先花了半小时才逐一认清脸，并回忆起每张脸的前世今生，理清复杂的人物关系网。然后才欣赏家长里短和精美的英式贵族台词。编剧对唐家屯这一icon群像戏已经驾轻就熟，按部就班，粉丝只要follow就行了。
A New Era，旧时代落幕新时代开启了。
老太太法国情人留给的别墅赠予曾孙女
【B】当然是极度依赖情绪的，只有这样那些温柔和浮夸才能达到平衡。流畅的节奏和舞台与现实的对应转换当然是本片的优势，或许也正是音乐剧的本职工作，为观众提供丰富且持续的视听高潮。当然，其缺陷也在于本片的“可复制性”，优秀剧作角度的切入之下一切事件的导向都是模板化的，观众可以迅速看出那些凌驾于歌曲之上的点题意味。定位和发行策略决定了它是一部出彩的商业传记片，当然也注定了它无法触碰到真正的经典时刻。
I'm afraid I'm too old-fashioned to believe that what I want is the only thing that matters. 又是一部百感交集的sequel，唐家屯仍然yyds
唐顿庄园系列还可以再拍，但再也不是原版的“唐顿庄园”。
但是没有看过剧的会很迷茫。
[Stop that noise. I can't hear myself die.]
看唐顿庄园总是会有一种幸福感 可能这就是梦中的生活吧 即使只是一个仆人 也会拥有属于自己的幸福
