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.

最大的亮点还是松坂桃李，铃木亮平这种不要命的角色本身就容易出彩，日本刘华强。最大的灾难还是西野七濑…演得是个啥啊
很好看很复古的黑帮警匪片，虽然没有前作的悲悯和感动，但延续了无畏的走钢丝的刺激与无奈，孤狼就像明知会燃尽的伊卡洛斯。续作把系列推向另一个高度，前面濑岛的话是伏笔，末段升华了，玩阴的小警察怎么能玩过安全部，哈。
呜呜犯罪片都这么暴力的嘛。。不光18+，我这种心理脆弱的人也不应该看这种血腥暴力片。。。（我有个疑问，铃木亮平这种随时杀人的疯狗，身边的人就没想过一冷枪给崩了？他一出狱他组的新老大不就该直接崩了他还在外面蹦跶那么久？这种人的存在对所有人都是危险啊。。）
2022-10。加了些悬疑的成分，其实都是为了烘托反派的残忍，反派长得到真像棒子
没有刻意煽情的桥段，没有悲伤的结局，没有不爱动物的反派，只有狗狗和人的共同成长，这就是我要的动物电影。
松坂桃李最后抢上司的枪对着铃木亮平连开三枪 好帅！！！（私心多一星 感觉每个人角色挑战都很大 桃李蓄起胡子剪短头发 两部都是因为身边的人惨死被激起血性的反抗报复 演技好棒！打斗真的刀刀见血 切手指挖眼睛割腹...铃木亮平居然演了一个失控的野兽 没有人性残忍暴力 变态又冷血 打破一贯的印象但是很成功 令人颤栗！村上虹郎可圈可点 我真的看不了卧底线人被迫走上不归路的戏码 为了微小的梦想苦苦挣扎的底层 最后的代价是失去了生命 西野七濑感觉是最不符合人物的选角 在弟弟灵堂和桃李的哭戏不错 这次的搭档又反转到我了！虽然有过一瞬的怀疑 可是大叔看上去也太纯良了 居然老婆孩子房子全是假的！故事的最后 在乡下小县城当差的桃李 在山里寻找孤狼 是不是内心还是有着一腔热血 为了和平正义也许哪天又会走上这条路呢
全员善人，每一个角色都很不错，充满温情的一部电影～多亏了一众人的支持，Ruby终于找到了自己的闪光点和使命：D
一般吧 剧情设定本身就不温不火， 演员有点尬演 甚至不如一个幼儿表现的自然。狗子蛮听话的，不知道是指令不足要故意表现的顽皮，多余动作太多。不过还是满欣赏这种指定计划 并努力实现的规划意识。
太太拯救男主，狗狗帮助人类（想知道扛着边牧做深蹲是什么体验:D
想成为搜救警员的骑警和他的搜救犬，他们总算找到了对方，成为了一对绝佳的搭档。故事很温情也很励志，也告诉我们多做好事上天会回报你的。

演员狗狗可爱 /// 前几天看了阿姆斯特丹动物收容所的纪录片，才知道屡次被退回的狗狗最终是要被安乐死的。希望每一个狗狗都像电影里一样好命不被放弃。
点名批评西野七濑，西野是我所知的日本女演员演技最糟糕的，她不仅没吃透角色，还拉了所有对戏演员的后腿。以松阪中枪一场戏为例，西野看到爱人受伤后，完全没有表现出紧张担忧，只有空洞的喊对方的名字，木讷到令人震惊。这样的木头人，完全无法驾驭角色。
血腥程度上升不止一个档次。相比于这个失心疯，我更喜欢笑里藏刀类型的反派。
电影本身一般，为真人真事和聪明的狗狗加一星
期间发生插曲与片断，一人一狗相互磨合期已将主人搞得不拘希望了，幸好身边有一个好妻子，不断鼓励与支持他，不断打气与激励他，让这名警员差点与真正K9搜救员失之交臂，人狗之间真挚的爱改变了一人一狗的命运。
不错，挺温和的片子，失败不是用来习惯的，信任使人成长！
good girl！ 我们毛豆豆也是好狗狗！
这集跟1相比差远了， 手段拙劣，处处被动，活是活下来了，智商永远慢半拍。
温情又不煽情反而被感动到。还能站在🐶露比的视角🎬，差点被安乐死的流浪狗成为了英雄。露比和男主的不被看好不就是我们大多数人的样子，可惜太晚才明白相信自己更重要这个道理。
