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.

女主是个好妻子好妈妈！
对于这种宠物或者动物片没有抵抗力。狗狗太可爱了吧。男主也很帅，剧情嘛一般般。
故事相对简单流俗 戏剧张力比第一部弱化好多，再加上主要几位演员气场完全无法和第一部那几位老戏骨比，导致成片整体质量下降了至少一个层级。不过随便看看娱乐一下是完全没有问题的，叙事节奏还在，不难看。
挖眼，断指，焚尸，没有身边的伪善警察更恶。没有役所广司，但是几个人设立得住，挺好看的。
铃木亮平的变态阴狠杀手演得太™到位了，可以说是日本黑帮片的史上最强反派疯狗，智商、残忍度、尤其是战斗力绝对都是100+的。然鹅TOKYO MER里面他又摇身一变仁心医生。这才是真正的变色龙演技。
如同电影中的胸外按压一样没深度
各路黄金配角。时代变了两大势力和解搞经济，死去龙头的小弟出狱在上层的纵容下搞得乌烟瘴气，主角在卧底小弟的牺牲以及记者的点醒下明白了自己也是棋子
黑社会也不能这么搞，没有策略看人就行了。日本的黑帮片大多都是一个套路，没被爽到，剧情还离谱。七濑小姐姐是非常好看，但是妈妈桑真的毫无气场。
不比第一部差，虽然没了主心骨役所，小年轻们的不安定感也够吸引人看下去。白石和弥的毛病还是总忍不住把重点场景台词拍得很“重点”，砍掉半小时会在各方面更接近《县警对暴力组织》一些——换言之，会更好一些。
剧情节奏没有第一部好，虽然大家演技还算是在线的。
尺度是真的大，故事比第一集黑暗的多，方方面面的坏，骨子里的坏，年轻人们也是血气方刚，尤其铃木亮平简直帅炸，但相比之下还是第一集几个老家伙飙戏更耐看。
闪电侠的退休生活？演技一直有点点欠缺在这部里就比较明显了，，，狗狗真可爱啊还有小脾气~~~剧情像一部美剧，，没啥波澜也不是很励志，就是平淡温馨~~~
三岛由纪夫说：磨炼对死和危机的想象力，和磨剑有同样的意义。对应本作的一之濑大佬，他简直是众人皆醉我独醒的典范——人间清醒，一语成谶：当游走在黑白两道之间的日冈桑叼着烟高枕无忧地下定论五十子会已烟消云散之时，当尾谷组嘲笑上林是个成不了气候的疯子之时，一场始料未及的恶战正悄然酝酿。
全劇最喜歡的居然是中村梅雀這個溫柔的老頭👴
蓄势、等待矛盾的堆积，然后迎来既定的爆发——暴力火拼，一切就像飙车之后必须要有无配乐一对一泄力对殴一样理所当然。所有的续集都可以说是对第一部里一对对关系的重演与改写：搭档关系、敌对关系，过命搭档不易得、痛殴也是一种亲密；体制对反体制、孤狼对野犬，戴上家犬镣铐的野狼、挣脱束缚的野狼、回归山林的野狼。
凶暴的警察之广岛死斗篇，延续第一部的生猛，呈现更惨烈的黑道斗争，满满的深作欣二之魂，松坂桃李也完成了自我的蜕变，完全镇住了场面，美中不足是西野七濑的妈妈桑确实不大行。
电影就像是八十年代老美国片，没有掺杂意识形态，单纯的就是讲积极向上，克服困难，励志又有爱，再加上还是真实故事改编，简单的讲一个好故事，看完还挺感动的，羡慕男主有这么体贴的妻子，一直都默默的鼓励着他，身体力行的支持着他 PS闪电侠的印象太深刻，总是觉得他随时都要起飞
训练这样一只狗挺不容易的，而且是自学训练这只狗，真的需要不懈努力。还需要信任自己的狗，这一点也是比较困难的，不相信自己的狗其实是不相信自己。根据真实故事改编就更显得不容易了，在现实中真的有这样的事情存在，这也告诉我们不论什么情况下，都应该不懈努力、相互信任。
剧情弱了很多啊。铃木亮平演变态演得真好，日奥最佳男配实至名归。和Tokyo mer同期的作品，反差感好大。村长就....进步不大.....被碾压的演技。
与1相比过于注重个人的表现，忽略了群像，特别是上林简直逆天，也没了第一部的成长元素，看点略少。
