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.

这老头真抗打。最后都死得其所。安排妥妥的。
制作剧情表演人设摄影都比第一部更上一层楼，分数反而更低？我都想让编剧入围奥斯卡了
打斗片，错付了，等了boss有五十分😂好在质量还行，气氛突出，反转激烈。🐶子给满分
3.5/完全没有了第一部的压迫感 变成了一部带有惊吓感的爽片 果然连老兵这种角色也不能动情 一动情变凡人 战斗力都减弱了
漂移停车太炫酷了些
是部看了过瘾的片子，飙车追逐也拍得很精彩，就是剧情有点粗糙，很多事情没串起来，也过于简略
上一部的恶趣味没了，跟上一部女主的联系也没了…看到躺尸还是要预先补枪。
平庸之作
精简一下角色，时间控制在一个半小时以内就好。朴素丹演这种雷厉风行的角色我觉得不太适合。
7分。以续作来说，整体水准还是很不错的，不算辱没了前作。整个电影前半段很精彩，特别是小姑娘屋中躲避的段落，各种效果音配合无音乐的场景，惊悚气氛营造得很好。只可惜后半段到了开阔空间就开始无聊了，瞎子开挂开得有点太猛，整体观感还是受到了影响。还好小姑娘不错，小凤凰平衡了故事的黑白面，还是很讨喜的。
最后半小时逻辑上很是牵强。这是一个妈杀女、爸杀妈、爸杀爸、女杀爸的故事
故事发生在最初致命的入室抢劫之后的几年，眼盲的退伍老兵诺曼过着平静的生活，并且把女儿培养的训练有素。但是仅有的一次小女儿外出，却被道出搜寻女子器官的犯罪团伙盯上，找他们要拿走女孩的心脏……
专门写一部电影让上集的老头偿债，这是什么操作？
配乐好评，女主造型+宝马e34 手动 都很喜欢啊，动作场面再暴力点就更棒了。。
中间有那么一小段还是有点屏住呼吸逃生的意思的，到后面就变成了老年版的飓风营救…不过，再很多大卖的IP续集都烂到不行的时候，这部B级片至少在剧情上还是很有诚意的。
我认为第一部的亮点就在于老兵的那句：“There is no God.” 第二部的设定和故事整个就和这个设定脱离的太多，剧情从老兵说出：“God is fair”开始，就朝着狗尾续貂开始一路狂奔……
开头就是超赞的飙车！🆒脱北者，总是能干净利落出类拔萃，技能满满！
一个墨西哥裔小老外推荐的，说2021他认为最好看的电影……呃……不好看！
男主神勇威武。毒贩丧尽天良。脏辫良心未泯。小女孩如愿以偿。狗嘉宾神来之笔。
根本不是大叔版啊，大叔那么多的动作戏，这个是飙车啊
