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.

于是各帮派前一天还在少帮主，后一天赶尽杀绝。
打斗绝了，国漫武侠巅峰
硬核武侠，热血江湖，诚意满满。
不过最后一场打的真好看
良心制作，就是剧情有些单薄，铺垫这么多还是直接boss战了事
打斗真的好，纯武侠范。但是剧情太容易猜到了，剧本还需要打磨呀。
6.2/10 作为一个将重点置于情感的故事, 过于复杂的情节不可谓不是败笔。 极长的时间线, 极多的推进与转折, 不断的压缩着塑造人物的时间。 最终一切情感的倾泻只能依靠演员的演技, 外加过往回忆的交叉剪辑, 才终有一丝奏效。 细节上的心血, 以及搞笑情节的趣味, 让这部影片不过于糟糕。 故事所携带的价值, 也值得肯定。 然而作为时长相对而言更加有限的影片, 不加取舍的塞进过多情节, 最终只会令成片平淡无奇, 观众也难以共鸣。
打斗戏堪称一绝 文戏稍有薄弱可也有使人深思之处 最后所有府客为了生计立马倒戈向罗通也是一处妙笔
剧情很俗套，不过反派不是那么又蠢又坏还是有点意思，打斗比较多但是挺精彩，女主形象真的太差了。
还不错吧观感，没怎么看过这种类型的，感觉挺有趣的，罗影真好惨一男的，到死也没能做自己，影子的执念让人叹息
动作设计拉满，动作细节拉垮，剧情就是没有剧情
好久没看过如此简单，如此扎实，又如此无趣的武侠片了！
打斗干脆利落，非常精彩，故事一般般，瑕不掩瑜
宣称杀人不能让自己衣服沾血的西门仁到死也不承认自己有错。
追这个ip很长时间了，tv版没看过瘾，这次电影算是圆了一个心愿，真的爱这种水墨风格又比较纯粹的武侠江湖
有着电影质感，而且建筑也很有地域特色，感觉有福建、山东的影子，传统古典的风貌和韵味算是拿捏了
画风和打戏与第一季一样出彩，水墨风景如真如画，最后一击的那个镜头处理效果简直惊艳逆天。整部系列可以做成游戏了，如果放在院线里面至少质量是碾压一众动画的。不过真正值得高分的是整个系列背后的主旨。每个人都有自己认为正确的主张，并将对其的贯彻作为自己活下去的动力，可是每个人的主张都没能解决问题，反而会造成新的问题，又会有秉持其他主张的人来解决这个问题，再造成新的问题；每个人都不能完全说对或错，只有最后的成和败，一批人的成之对顶替另一批人的败之错，又在再一批人的成之对的顶替中变成败之错。循环不止，江湖不尽。而普罗大众，要么食不果腹，要么为人刀枪，要么苦力风餐，不过是去了旧神，再拜新神。
男主角是拳法排名第三，但是脑子确实很拉夸。
打斗很酷，剧情其实也还勉强，喜欢江渊这个人物
果然真实事件改编就是有局限性，要是真正的电影应该这样拍：火车造成这么多的伤亡，政府却不管，于是暗中纠集众人炸了隧道，引来媒体追根溯源……
