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.

小演员不讨喜，好暗看的好辛苦，剧情一般，悬疑惊悚上很鸡肋，那么暗有啥子必要
如果失去了第一集那样的剧情悬念，这一集剩下的就只有血腥暴力了，况且剧情推进牵强，最后换心脏的剧情挽回点颜面。
精华都在预告片里。
总之见仁见智吧
盲人老头的战斗力又加强了不少，且手段还是那么狠辣，没有第一部压迫感强，但全片的紧张节奏还是一直保持，而且新出现的小女孩也是亮点，但是更血腥了有没有，小女孩为求生拿着长柄西瓜刀剁毒妈妈手臂直接看傻了有没有，看样子有续集，瞎子战神老兵的气场太强了
还可以，果然死亡是大爷的唯一救赎了。不过确实可✔换个地方依然大杀四方。
？？？？？都说2不好看于是我跑去看1，结果看完了发现我他妈看的是2，滑天下之大稽！！！！！看完觉得挺好看的啊，尤其是前半部分！我现在去看1，我倒要看看1多好看！不要抛弃你的狗狗
失望，惊悚气氛全无，第二部彻底沦为粗暴的虐杀电影。
过于煽情了吧，不过事实大概就是如此激奋人心
又一条狗引发的惨案 爱狗人士狂欢
Encouraging movie in tough time
剧情惨弱的同时，演技也没有出息，导致整部影片就是维持在低端B级片的水准，真心不如前作。
一盒传奇的诞生也有制造传奇的这些神奇人物。
拍成这样，还好意思说续集，又被预告片骗了。
PS：雪中奔跑送油去车的那一段真的好emo看得，镜头很漂亮。
第一部是来偷钱，第二部是来抢人，老兵实惨！
比起第一部，成了犯罪动作片了，悬疑惊悚和压抑成分减少许多。喜欢最后的橘色灯光色彩场景。道德沦丧的家庭。好奇美国为什么能让小孩子演这种血腥片。。。
他怎么变好了？噢，原来他才是好的。卧槽，他是坏的！卧槽，他洗白了！卧槽，他反水了！卧槽？结束了！总体来说，相比于第一部，第二部就是一坨屎
作为NFL最励志的传奇，华叔的故事终于搬上了荧幕。本作的表现可谓四平八稳，讲述了科特华纳如何从一个落选新秀到成为Super Bowl MVP的历程，选取的片段也很有代表性，如在UNI的比赛学会留在口袋，在Arena Footbal的比赛学会快速出手，以及第一次NFL首发对阵雷神。同时也花了大量笔墨介绍他的家庭，特别是和他妻子的相遇以及互相扶持。全片传达的思想也很明确：If you have only one shot, you should be ready when the opportunity comes to you.
