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.

节奏简洁明快，和第一部一样，结尾依然是单挑戏压轴。不过，话又说回来，不管是尹启相还是孙锡久，在马东锡面前，都显得毫无杀伤力。
第一部压迫性比第二部强，第二部娱乐元素多了些，虽然人物都很立体，但哈尔滨张谦蛋才是这个系列的灵魂人物。
电影一星，正反男主各一星，and暴力动作一星。
简单粗暴也挺好，其实现在能拍出个这样的电影都不容易了。
孙锡久看马东锡也是一模一样的放电。。孙锡久有罪！
比第一部好看多了，孙锡久屋里那场打斗真帅啊，够暴力
马东锡小拳拳锤你胸口😂什么变态杀人犯都扛不住1v1马东锡哈哈哈哈
2022年第146部：和1一模一样的套路。。反派除了杀人不眨眼之外，智商基本都属于低能的水平。另外韩国警察都这么可怜的吗连个配枪都没有？？
马东锡揍人拳拳到肉，比黑恶势力可怕多了，简直活阎罗
第二部说是尺度会小一点，其实也没有，该见血见血该断手断手。动作设计不是很复杂，尤其马东锡的招式重复度很高，除了标志性的扇巴掌以外，过肩摔也用过好几次，可能这就是简单有效的格斗技巧吧。不过从最后车上一对一的打斗能看得出来，韩国电影已经把好莱坞那套快速剪辑的玩明白了，人家这几年发展是真快。
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
看马东锡打人真的就是两个字，舒爽！ps：还是那句话，孙锡久的性张力真绝，这个反派演得也太出彩了
不管黑道白道的好男儿（除了BOSS），面对庞然大物马东锡都有种妾侍心态，自觉得变得又乖又萌，这点确实是男人社会的特点。
没我马东锡一巴掌呼不死的人！有就多呼几下！
作为主角马东锡真的强大到过分，不过谁不喜欢他一拳一拳暴打反派呢。这部和上一部套路还是差不多，升级的大概是反派的颜值吧（孙锡久我真的太🉑了）。很直给的商业片，以及人物性格带来的喜剧效果，动作戏拳拳到肉带来的爽感还是蛮足的。预算升级，都有追车戏了。应该会有第三部吧。8/10
这种片子就是要无脑爽，没想到世界影坛的动作爽片好看韩国的了
7.5分。比上一部强很多啊~~~特别是前半部分在越南的部分，使得很多内容都有了合理性。主要的进步还是反派杀伐果断的程度有增加，脑子也好使很多，相比之下马东锡依然是一力降十会，馒头大的拳头下啥都留不了~~~~几场打斗戏份比1有进步，不过么。。。总感觉这些年韩国片总体尺度似乎还是下来了？？？？
反派的愤怒 真的感受到了 一定是要被气死了快
2022年第146部：和1一模一样的套路。。反派除了杀人不眨眼之外，智商基本都属于低能的水平。另外韩国警察都这么可怜的吗连个配枪都没有？？
韩国国粹—西八、sei gi呀、kei sei gi
