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.

没有第一部的意思了，这部拍的比较勉强。上林一出狱，别的黑帮乖的离谱，老大被关在笼子里羞辱都找不来人救。
村长跟红狼🐺演技在线，我7还是奶凶奶凶。
这也太虎头蛇尾了，前期塑造了这么一个无视规则的反派，结果所谓的开战就这？少了第一部大叔们撑场面，年轻演员演技、气场不足的问题一下子全暴露出来了。唯二两点，龙谷源治附体得主角，铃木的反派，看完才反应过来是那个变态假面，这个演员是个宝藏。
不好意思虽然剧情不怎么样，但是被松坂桃李老师帅哭了。
上一部面对的是黑帮，这一部只是单纯的面对暴力和腐败了。
第二部一直以为boss是黑社会，结果好像完全相反。。。全篇看了比较压抑，男主一直被牵着鼻子走，最后发现自己也变成了棋子。
大上警官去世以后，日冈接过权棒，在广岛两大社团绷紧的钢丝线上游走，纵横捭阖的表象背后实际上是靠自己八面玲珑的手腕换得一方地下秩序的安稳。一切从上林出狱开始，平衡被打破了。日冈在广岛黑社会之间的游走，让其他同事和上司产生了不满，最后自己也成了政治权柄下的棋子，在女朋友的弟弟惨死之后，他决定愤起反击，以暴制暴虽然不可取，但是却是最直接有效的方法。
节奏和意境都很不错，演员也选得蛮好，没有一个熟人更容易进入这个故事。
日冈终究复刻不出大上的时代，跌跌撞撞不断落入圈套，全程盲打，幸太死了以后我满脑子都是无语。
属于那种容易唤起高期待但表现则平平无奇甚至很差的片子。完整拉完全片，发现只有那张素描海报堪称优秀。
7.5分，两头孤狼疯狂对咬，遍体鳞伤也不知停下，仿佛痛觉已消失。
摄影挺好的，破案的片子拍出这种感觉少见，有点太文艺了，节奏再快点好了。
还是挺好看的 本来想看第一部结果看成了第二部。
俩主演在线的，尤其反派。不过剧情真的是费解
电影无论是剧情的发展还是人物的营造都充满了剥离感，演员们虽然穿着上世纪七八十年代风格的服饰，却完全没有演出那个时代的精气神，样板化、脸谱化的表演倒是仿佛停留在那个年代，更不用提两位女性角色那让人脱戏的整容脸了。除此之外，全片无论是悬疑气氛的营造还是刑侦推理的过程都相当失败，支离破碎的剧情难以贯穿成一条完整的故事线，让观众难以投入剧中；值得一提的是，标题《远山淡影》虽然充满了艺术意境和留白，但只是搬来某个日本作家的同名小说，而且和原作一点关系也没有，让人大跌眼镜。
最麻烦的是，那些摆出正义嘴脸做坏事的人，连他们自己都觉得自己是正确的
哈哈哈哈最后是cg。
这结局也是无语了，没有黑帮互杀，没有警察反转，跟第一部差距太大了
上次这么尬吹是《逐梦演艺圈》吧 还蹭石黑热度 想法有多好 呈现出来的结果就有多糟 两倍看都拖沓 没白看 拓宽了见过烂片的烂境 但还是很后悔 为什么要看这个
整部電影純粹故弄玄虛，邏輯混亂，漏洞百出，很多情節經不起推敲，那個演章欣的演員感覺傻了叭唧的，那個刑警隊長一天到晚黑著一副苦瓜臉，見誰都大呼小叫，特別是對從上海請來的畫像專家章欣那種態度，我都恨不得把他從手機里揪出來爆扁一頓。全片無論男女，就沒有一個讓人喜歡的角色。甚至片名都是照搬日本的書。劇情挺俗套的，一上來就基本猜對全部內容了。感覺更傾嚮文藝片，但又沒到那個高度，不倫不類的。懸疑劇不能讓觀眾感覺到自己比編劇還聰明，那肯定是不成功的。
