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.

勉强4星半，照上部差点事，不过也很不错啦，上林是真猛，演员挑的好
用生命争奇斗艳的惨剧。三线、计划经济遗产，经典的萧条符号，反正跟着《杀人回忆》学不会太错。最大的bug就是这画像师太超能了吧，素描跟写真一样高清……整体至少比《暴雪将至》完整，网大里的天花板了。
怎么说呢 一个变态狂躁男目无王法疯狂杀人杀老大 小的也没有一个敢上的。有些部分还是有点扯
编剧不知道是不是换了。
比起上一部，剧本差很多，主角演员演技有提升，但却有硬凑戏之勉强
维护世界和平从来都不是靠个人英雄主义 广岛需要O记 更需要的是ICAC
人的口味真的会随年龄变化。
咋还有个报菜名报桃李奖项的女粉丝啊哈哈哈哈哈，霓虹演员需要吗更何况稍微了解一下就知道霓虹奥斯卡也不是啥了不起的奖项，因为霓虹每年那几个月都有十几个各种各样的电影奖……更何况新闻记者算啥好电影啊orz
不喜欢看挖眼，村上虹郎的角色虽然一开场就有一种要挂的感觉还是有点虐到吧，姐姐演技太尴尬，和村长有场戏我甚至出现了他俩在说韩语的错觉。反派变态挂，演员演技可，不过这种角色实在也不新鲜。缺少第一部的灵魂人物，趋于平庸。
全是素人，氛围拉满，整体色调阴沉，漫布着雨水，看得出来导演很厉害。
“人生像一条夜河，你在其中湍急而过，任你如何努力，都无法在最喜欢的地方停留。”
剧情很平很套路
和第一部比还是缺点主角魅力，但大反派男配角的表现着实亮眼。
男主好像何炅…本还算不错，作为文艺悬疑类电影及格，氛围烘托到位。严华一直没有找到自己人生的位置，是林音给了她光和希望，所以林音过世后按照她如果在世时的那样，她不能跳舞了之后会做的事，严华不是为自己而活，而是延续林音的生命，替她在生活那些不曾起舞的日子里，像是二人结合为一体，超越了友情爱情和亲情，产生的依赖与互存，在南方亦或在淮川，在天上亦或在地下，她们都有某一处紧紧相依。
画面还行，人物塑造比较失败，比如说队长吧，感觉得出导演是有点想往廖凡那个方向塑造，结果是大多数时候看起来就像一条疯狗。
可能因为期望高的缘故，比第一部差远了，跟偶像片似的，日冈从一开始的自作聪明到后面变成真傻逼，上林倒是一如既往的疯子和残忍，剧情从中部开始崩坏，发现整个幕后靠一个工具人记者，简直荒唐，日冈作为一个警察背负的前辈的风格和梦想，但是没有前辈的魅力和信念，行至半途忘记了出发点和作为，整个广岛警署都是叛徒和废物，倒是日冈此举贴合孤狼之态。这其实已经不算一部黑社会电影了，就是一部复仇片。
两个丧家犬的战斗：01.一个为了自己所谓的和平；02一个为了所谓的荣耀；时长过于冗长了，故事根本撑不起来两个小时，90分钟足够，有些拖沓，拔高评分的点几乎都是在第三幕强行解释，前面没有铺垫。
反派演的真是霸气外露 雨中那场戏帅爆了 其实那时本可以干掉男主角 编剧硬让他手下留情了…
最近刚看了《心灵猎人》，本来真实探案的题材挺吸引我的，开场也很有特色，但是这位老队长看着挺老练，但就是个样子货，你说你脾气大，不尊重人没关系，你得拿出点真本事来压得住人吧，没有，他就只是脾气大不尊重人，这种人看着是真的恶心。
风格还是和第一部近似，依旧是那么血腥，不过现实中黑帮的世界应该会更加残酷，相比第一部少了几分真实，相较上一部的大上章吾，这一部的日冈在为人处世上还是嫩了些。
