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.

10月2日星期五,美国东部/太平洋时间晚8点,将在卡通频道进行《星球大战:克隆人战争——赏金猎人的崛起》的首播,连续播出《Holocron Heist》和《Cargo of Doom》,在这不容错过的两集中,由冷酷无情的凯德·贝恩率领,赏金猎人和残忍的雇佣军抢尽了这部系列剧的风头。这是次特殊的,一小时长度的《克隆人战争》大事件!(译注:含广告时间) 贝恩在第一季震撼性的结尾初登场,此次复出将造成更大的破坏和伤亡——他带来自己精锐的武器装备,要在共和国的心脏施加压力。他受雇要潜入绝地圣殿,盗取一台珍贵的全息记录仪——一种古老的记忆存储设备——贝恩不会让任何人挡了自己的道。当阿索卡被分配去绝地档案馆当守卫,作为对她不听从命令的惩罚时,这个表面看来无聊的职责将她直接置于贝恩通向目标的道路上。 “如果你看了上一季的最后一集,你就会知道,凯德是不会在乎入虎穴一游的。他勇敢而毫无畏惧,而这的确给绝地带来了极大的麻烦。”《星球大战:克隆人战争》的总监戴夫·菲洛尼说,“这几集的确让人回忆起《星球大战》的冒险精神,而这正是我所一直热爱的部分。外面正进行着一场大战,而冲突的焦点却要个人和私人得多。当你把某个象凯德这样的人扔进这场混乱里,赌注就上升了。这令剧情更加紧张,也更富娱乐性。” 贝恩这个角色允许《克隆人战争》的全体职员重温他们所热爱的原版电影,可以回溯到乔治·卢卡斯的原版《星战》的贝恩的概念来源,让这些成为可能。 “[凯德·贝恩]这个概念确实可以一直回溯到第一部电影,它从各种类型电影中汲取了许多灵感,包括西部片。”《星球大战:克隆人战争》的创造者兼监制卢卡斯说,“当需要为这个系列引入一个残忍的赏金猎人形象的角色时,他很自然地就契合上了。他是个一流枪手——他神秘,又无情。从一开始它就是《星战》的一个主题部分。” 无情的赏金猎人凯德·贝恩在《Holocron Heist》中,沉思着自己的下一步恶毒行动,这是《星球大战:克隆人战争》的全新一集,将于10月2日星期五东部/太平洋时间晚8点在卡通频道首播。 追随由原三部曲确立起来的经典《星战》轨迹,《星球大战:克隆人战争》第二季将深化冲突本身的故事,探索前所未见的战争面貌。就像《帝国反击战》能让《新希望》确立的经典原型在深度和复杂性上得到强化那样,《赏金猎人的崛起》层层剥笋,揭示出在该系列剧第一季里只是一带而过的复杂性与强度。凯德·贝恩和他的赏金猎人骨干将要让行动升级……,而卢卡斯影业动画制片公司的艺术家们很乐意鼎力相助!

《拉克尼亚号的沉没》是BBC 2台推出的电视电影,由Uwe Janson执导,Alan Bleasdale编剧。该剧标志着《Boys From The Blackstuff》、《GBH》、《Jake’s Progress》、《雾都孤儿》编剧Bleasdale十年后重归电视荧屏。该剧受二战真实故事启发,是一部探讨人性的影片。 1942年9月12日的晚上,经军事改装后的拉科尼亚号在从埃及驶回英国的途中被德国海军潜艇U-156发射的鱼雷击中并沉没。拉科尼亚号此时距非洲海岸600英里,船上有英国平民、盟军和意大利战俘。这些人命悬一线,直到潜艇指挥官Werner Hartenstein违背了纳粹最高指挥官的命令,做出了一个令人震惊的决定。德国潜艇升上水面,Hartenstein长官指挥下属尽可能的营救幸存者。 在接下来的数天里,U-156潜艇救下400人,200名幸存者挤在潜艇里而另200名幸存者则上了救生艇。Hartenstein还发电报给敌军,希望组织大家一起营救受困者。然而迎接他们的不是敌军的感激,而是美军B-24轰炸机的炮火。 《拉科尼亚号的沉没》展示了人类在面临重大事件时人性化的一面:萌发的友谊、英雄主义行为、艰难环境下人性的胜利。拉科尼亚号一共载有2725名乘客:其中463名船务人员、286名英军士兵、103名波兰看守、80名平民 – 主要为妇女和孩子,还有1793名意大利战俘。最终1621人不幸遇难,1104人幸存。
