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.

美国曾经能拍出世界上最好的橄榄球电影，无数经典，包括我最喜爱的《胜利之光》。但现在好莱坞能给出来的橄榄球+励志电影就这个水平？不说故事主题和精神内核，连好莱坞最擅长的各种套路和技法都衰退的厉害。
剧情上面有点扯，亲生父母寻找女儿的目的令人不寒而栗，而且瞎老爷子的战斗力实在是有点爆棚，甚至被完全控制住还能让他跑掉，真不懂到底这些反派才是瞎子还是弱智.........
很high很带感，这个系列走的就是这样的镜头风格和故事内容，而且小萝莉表演真的到位，老头依然牛批。。。
感觉电影不能叫《屏住呼吸》了，没了第一部不敢出声的紧张压抑感，打斗观赏性也没第一部好（感觉好笨重）
失明老兵在自己家行动自如也就算了，在别人的房子里也丝毫不受大影响，夸张了。
老头他妈的太惨了，我不忍心给他打3星[破涕为笑]
剧情简介里写的是“棒球明星”？能不能走点心…
不如第一部惊艳，整体略套路，但胜在紧凑直给，确实很久没看过这么直爽血腥片了。
汪汪队立大功（。快节奏和硬核剧情还是可以顺畅看完的，女儿躲人那段精彩。讲道理教了女儿这么多防身术也还是要教一下打911的，最后都不抢救一下就投奔新世界了也是挺奇怪的脑回路。
水中的视听效果也很赞，
2021年了，面对疫情，美国ZF的麻木与不作为，美国民众的 懦弱 愚昧 ，药企的无良欺骗，让美国所有的励志片都成了笑话，零分
要是我是那小女孩，就把那两个爹都撒了潇洒过日子。。。跟第一部没啥关系，但我还是学到了不少有用的，我觉得这几天我会特别特别喜欢看恐怖片，真得上瘾。
编剧还是厉害的，能把完全不合情理的剧情最后自圆其说。

【6.0】第一部的时候还有些类型片框架下的新意，续集就沦为平庸的B级恐怖片了。
可以可以 下狗逆袭 剧本一样的人生 绿包喜提背景
老头收养了个养女，结果这倒霉孩子的亲生父母找到她，要来摘她的心脏，于是养父与亲父硬刚几回合，最后好人胜利，老头也挂掉了
比第一部差了不少，跟第一部基本上没关系可以当做平行世界的故事来看，重点是把屏住呼吸这个核心抛弃了，完全没有看第一部跟角色们一起憋着一口气的感觉，变成了一部平庸的虐杀片，各个方面都挺一般，有点砸口碑了。
这是为公羊队再夺超级碗提前准备的献礼片吧。虽然说是真实事件改编，后面拍得还是太平了，简直是一顺百顺。从电影里呈现的来看，布伦达上辈子应该是拯救了世界才遇到了男主。不过困难时相濡以沫，换来最终的幸福美满还是挺感人的。原来公羊队上一次夺冠还不在洛杉矶。都没认出来男主竟然是“沙赞”的扮演者，看来对那部电影真是没什么印象了。
拍摄制作离得前作那么久也就算了，还直接塑造成硬核动作片。动作设计场景有点东西，但故事内核呕。
