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.

比前作好看！庞杂又看似多余的无用线索层层堆积起来才好玩嘛～真凶若隐若现咱就是认认真真跟着警察一头雾水抓耳挠腮，到最后反而不在意究竟是谁了。。。木村真的很帅，跟麻酱说有也有大部分时间没有的cp感真的让人酸爽，就是说抓住最后几分钟讲纯爱真的大可不必！！！麻酱我求求了，下部剧换个发型吧
看过书，只记得手表有玄机，别的忘得干干净净，还跟第一部记混了。这样看起来反而轻松一点。最不明白的是这部的镜头风格，非常怪异。小日向文世真可爱呀！
凶手的动机和锁定过程也太莫名其妙了，还空降一堆不寻常的背景设定，完全靠猜的吗？
非常喜欢这种没有漫威英雄篇套路偏文艺偏哲思文戏的自然风景“科幻电影”，真的很文艺，没有大段的打斗套路，摄影都是自然主义的风格，没有过于对比色高饱和度和传统灯光的套路。角色设置也很反传统，完全是去英雄化的个人，但格局真的逃出了漫威那种自我感动的格局，格局太大了
牛逼的调度 每个画面的信息量都巨大且纷繁 快跟不上的我逐渐困了…😂 手表的梗设计的很精致 但最终锁定凶手和他的动机 抱歉真的跟不上了
又臭又长。建议第三部：凶手“请你们帮我杀个人”，服务员“只要是客人要求，我们一定办得到！”
一个探寻隐藏在人群中的真相，一个帮助隐藏在人群的真相伪装起来，两个完全相反的职业以悬疑的方式协调统一在一起，这是日本电影的魅力。
比前作好点，最后一段手表这个谜底拖沓得嘞……凶手都不带手机吗？
剧情改得一般，但是结局是要撮合新田和山岸这对吗哈哈哈哈，最后很帅！
节奏有点缓慢，一直在慢悠悠地絮叨，演员走位上安排得过于频繁，总是那几个人在大堂里晃来晃去的，直到最后跨年前10分钟了才开始紧张起来。没有太让人印象深刻的出场或者转折。
必看啊/信息量太大，不如拍成电视剧。（这两次线车都不好，太挤了。）
这部电影失败在于赵婷想用一个大片的思维去做这个项目，再夹点私货，但落实到实际拍摄上还是避免不了漫威流水线生产的肥皂感。当思维与实操产生冲突，结果就会造成这样的四不像。说实话看到这样的剧情这样的打斗场面，我还以为我在看正义联盟呢，那我疑问就更多了，既然漫威动真格搞大片，为什不去找扎导呢？
毫无说服力和懒得铺垫的动机，过于强调假面主题和执着守时、保护住客隐私、“我们不能说不行”等规矩，简直逼死强迫症，让人抓狂。
其实套路和上一部差不多吧，多一星给又美又帅的麻生姐姐！
一直以为氏原才是凶手，动机是干掉脚踏两条船(即破坏了交往“规则”)的人，所以手法是利用两根电线(暗示“二股”)。而且因为是酒店的人才能很快知道举报人和正室之间的关系并加以利用，同时顺便干掉女主可以赢得晋升机会。听上去好像更合理？
剧情真的无聊到死…但演员阵是一如既往的赏心悦目～多少还挽回了一些失望之情
赵婷是疯了吧？这拍的啥啊，是在YY自己是被几个白男追的圣母亚裔吗？而且逻辑混乱，人物动机莫名其妙。漫威已凉。赵婷，给你个建议，下一步可以考虑出演奈飞版程心。
没想到又来到这个酒店 愉快的除夕假期泡汤hhh本身就戴着假面谜团重重的客人 这次再戴一层假面参加倒计时晚会 500位客人里寻找犯人 不禁感慨国内登记酒店都要实名制的优点！泽村一树不停提无礼要求的样子让我觉得他是LA派来考察的（结果真的是hh 十五分钟的计时器和主持人宣布十分钟新年倒计时同时的画面 我直接觉得有五分钟时间差根本不需要推理🤣最后邀请まさみLA回来一起吃饭被说無理です太可爱了hhh大神的探戈和最后的假面扮相真的帅惨了！
“你来抓我啊你来抓我啊我靠你还真的抓到我了”
有些无聊，即使长泽雅美也只是支撑我看完，两人比第一部还没火花。剧情推理也不够精巧
