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.

剧情简单，感觉演员很少，不知道是不是因为疫情，电影规模都缩水了
一般吧，前面半个小时还行，后面的节奏越来越平，什么走向都可以猜到了，最后半个小时更是只想把电影看完算了，机械的看着马锡东挥动拳头。
爽片，动作戏很棒。但马东锡就像大力神，碾压一切，没有痛感，过程中只有爽而不会为角色有任何担心了
这部的反派毫无魅力，张谦蛋能全方位吊打……
虽然剧情平淡，节奏一般。但是墩墩真的是可爱的，我可以一直盯着看。ps记不得第一步的剧情，有些点没get以及主角光环压他人太多。
三星的故事，但马东锡值得一星。我下辈子要嫁给马东锡啊……
比第一部的反派差点。反派除了一股子狠劲之外，显得过于无脑了~但反派还是有点帅的~
不同的故事但基本是同样的套路，剧情更紧凑，动作场面与诙谐元素的节奏掌控也更娴熟，越来越有类型片的味道了。就是中间那段为了映衬反派的狠过于弱化治安力量有点让人血压升高，主角再强点就可以加入复联了。
两部下来反派人设都挺有魅力的，反而是正派十分扁平；故事嘛，无非就是一个给马东锡积攒怒气值过程的讲述，爽死了
剧情老套，但动作戏都很棒，比港片的动作设计强多了。
6.8 一板一眼地复刻着前作的精华，但也不再拘泥于笨拙的叙事转而信赖于动作的姿态，马东锡的一拳一脚都漫画感爆棚。
怎么演坏蛋(民工形象)也这么可爱，担心马东锡被他嗲死（乡土版刘昊然越发乡土了
好想在IMAX大银幕上，花钱看马东锡打人啊 |ू･ω･` )
7分。马东锡实战是不是真的这么厉害哦。这片还是很过瘾的，动作戏既狠又硬。孙锡久演的姜海尚很不错，非常残忍的亡命徒，没有底线，略微变态，手里一把小砍刀，佛挡杀佛人挡杀人。可是再厉害也没有马东锡那么厉害，这哥们已经不需要任何武器了，赤手空拳不超过三拳就能让对方失去战斗力。他最后和反派在公交车里的动作设计还可以，看得很解压。最搞笑就是马东锡去找朴智焕那场戏，他伸出手来摊着，嘴里倒数“一二三”，居然是那么好笑的一个桥段。这个梗是不是在第一部里也有啊？
果然第二部一般都是狗尾续貂，知道你想拍韩国警察故事，可你自己看看你拍的是个啥？砸牌子啊真的是。跟唐探3给我的感觉差不多。
7.6犯罪动作爽片，细节啥的不能深究，几个绑架勒索游客赎金都混到东南亚的韩国人，怎么就那么牛逼007附身了，本土放高利贷堪比财阀的都干不过，号称中国三合会的支援人马也打个酱油，一车人给两个混混就解了，太没有牌面了。马东锡这一身的肉看着真给力，一点都没有肥胖感，这得天天泡多久的健身房啊
建议把这部片子改成——西八侠之一拳超人。终于还是变成了超级英雄电影。。。
现在犯罪需要的智商成本已经这么低了吗？（手扶电梯那块笑拉了
混战场面的动作戏设计的太刻意了~刀在手上就是不用
结尾真的笑死我了哈哈，蛮流畅的商业片，反派砍人如切菜，那个变态劲儿真的吓到我
