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.

当世界失去光明，我们需要盲人为我们引路
两部曲讲得是畸零人失去信仰与信仰回归的过程，中规中矩的类型片。
七冠的布雷迪是传奇，华纳是个传说。这部电影像是把前些年科特华纳的纪录片翻拍了一遍，前面铺垫很多，后边节奏有点太快了，像是要赶着把故事讲完。七分是比较公允的分数，但是作为一名盼了这部电影十几年的老球迷，我还是选择打高一点。
水箱电线火焰 狗和小弟的反水 水纹三杀一波带走 红色烟雾杀父剁母 强设定反派父母坏到底心脏移植续命 结尾的手指微颤不要再来续集了
节奏真的挺拖沓的……不是，老头叫女儿走，女儿就走了，但从反派那策反的狗还是排除万难跑回来陪老头？？？怎么感觉怪怪的
经典的美国英雄、美国梦套路电影......太多这种电影了，全都一样.......
非常美国，全是个人，上帝，和胜利者叙事。 3星给演员和真人真事。
也许橄榄球场上的球员真没什么好用镜头来表现的。大部分聚焦了主角的生活线。
比第一部血腥，但是趣味变平庸了。
扎克莱维 是那种长得很有安全感的帅哥 演这个角色好合适 但剧情平实并没有非常燃
有些行为看似反常其实也是人性的一部分，咱不说放下屠刀立地成佛，但至少善恶一念之间，恶人中总有渴望救赎的的也有永不回头的。看的时候我只是忍不住想警察在哪里，房子都烧了一夜，这么大动静。不过还有个有趣的，我今天对一个人说了那句，不要觉得什么都理所当然，然后这片开头也来了这么一句。巧合带来的惊喜让我一开始就颇为投入，只是剧情发展丢掉了逻辑，瞎子对陌生的环境是不存在战术优势的，断电，埋伏，可信度太低。
盲老头战斗力依旧开挂，单枪三杀人头就nm离谱，小女孩身世解开但亲生的也不是什么好鸟，跟班手下竟然还有圣母人设。。。
不用屏住呼吸，全程轻松的很，伴随个别人的良心发现，狗狗的悔悟，主角也是开了挂
片名：这是我家2，第一部的新鲜感全无，老混蛋被洗白成了的受害者，以多欺少，不讲武德。
说实话，最后几分钟的新闻片段比整个片子都好看。
2021年第255部：老头眼瞎是怎么看到电线的？这些人是要救女孩还是杀女孩。。

3.5，看之前对Kurt Warner毫无了解，看完之后才发现这家伙可真是NFL甚至是体育史上最不可思议的下狗逆袭故事。有这样一个真实人物打底，自然电影不会差。但令人感叹的是这样一个还算不错的体育励志片放在二三十年前都还会是好莱坞主流大制作（迪士尼可曾经最擅长拍这种片），而如今却只能包装成福音电影才能勉强上市（实际上电影并没有太多宗教内容）
「别惹老头」2.0升级版，比起前作来，续作已经不算是恐怖片了，但是惊悚程度依旧，血腥暴力镜头应接不暇，从头到尾全程高能，剧情也比起前作更加紧凑，不过，老头最后是死是活个人觉得还是个谜，还是觉得会有第三部的。
