面目全非

　　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.

　　不知道还有谁记得，2006年NBC推出的那部《日落大道60号演播室》，尽管评论界一片叫好之声，可是观众对里面那些念念叨叨、自以为是、鬼都听不懂的台词不买账，于是，这个片子被砍了。与《日落》同时推出的还有另一部以演播室为题材的半小时喜剧《30 Rock》，NBC的意思估计是想高低搭配，可不想无心插柳柳成荫，大餐《日落》竟然当真日落，作为配菜出场的《30 Rock》则非常之Rock，07年10月份的艾美奖颁奖典礼上，《30 Rock》以非常黑马的姿态斩获最佳喜剧奖，力压《明星伙伴》、《办公室》、《两个半男人》、《丑女贝蒂》，前途灿烂。
　　片名30 Rock，是NBC总部洛克菲勒中心的简称。本片虚构了一个NBC的节目The Girlie Show，讲述的就是这个节目制作团队，台前幕后的种种趣事。《30 Rock》阵容极其强大，同NBC电视台的王牌喜剧节目《周末夜现场Saturday Night Live》一个制作班底，周末夜现场的首席编剧蒂娜.菲（Tina Fey）倾情加盟，不但是本片的制作人、编剧，同时还扮演女主角！另有老帅哥亚历克.鲍德温(Alec Baldwin），黑人明星崔西.摩根(Tracy.Morgan）。本片在纽约实景拍摄，没有外星人吸血鬼，也没有飞车追逐大爆炸，有的只是浅显易懂的对白，阳光灿烂，轻松愉悦，绝不会浪费你的半小时时间。
　　本片获得今年艾美奖最佳喜剧剧集奖等多项大奖。
