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.

看完只想问 为什么叫误杀2？ 任达华和肖央演技挺好，其他人台词无论编的说的都有点假，改编的剧本好尬。
反转有些意料之中，却又出乎意料，很难想象改编自真实事件，老百姓该有多绝望啊！
主题出色，表现形式差劲。起码在韩国同类型中，不算出色。像电视
2的剧情可以说是毫无悬念
最后文咏珊是要一个人还200万高利贷吗？？？
没看过第一部 客观来说 虽然故事的走向和反转能猜到一部分 但是有泪点 还是很感人
花六元买断后看了半小时，我爸委婉地问能不能换一个看看。
逻辑和剧本的bug太多太多简直数不过来……还有为什么要那么多磨磨唧唧的镜头是为了混时长么？？不过，肖央演得确实太好了让人看得很过瘾，一如既往喜欢宋洋~ and结尾的彩蛋可以加一颗星
可能我误杀的滤镜还在，没忍心打六分。电影前半段就是插叙，倒叙，看着比较平淡，就是把故事线打乱制造悬疑，完整连起来其实是一个比较平平无奇的故事。后半段秘书长带着移植心脏出现的时候，看了一下时长，感觉事情并不简单，果然秘书长是反派，然后故事开始到了高潮，剧情也渐入佳境。真的没想到的是，电话就在急诊中心响起来，还是很难过，靠着这么大的牺牲才救回来的孩子。 彩蛋看到，planC也许是平行时空最幸福的样子吧
演员演的好，故事讲的现实，对白也会引起很多人的强烈共鸣…
政商勾结，想扳倒太难了，但总有正义之士挺身而出。
《误杀》不红，倒是爱蹭。陈思成剧本小裁缝实锤。——《一出不好戏》 多一星给肖央和他心里永不褪色的父爱。
真的有那么好的警察吗？女记者为什么毕业两年就那么成功 因为人家拼啊 可排除背后有政敌支持 真有那么勇的记者吗？大人的心脏与小孩不适配 在泰国每个人都说中文 这就有点扯… 但肖央演弱者 真的好可怜 我们一辈子 老老实实做人 认认真真工作 孩子病了 心脏被人抢了… 被劫持的人质都斯德哥尔摩了 我也是 从此胸腔里跳动着爸爸的心脏 一想起来就心酸
死并不可怕，可怕的是，没有尝试过为自己的生命而奋斗。
虽然我又哭了，但是为啥一个心脏又适配6岁小男孩又可以给16 7岁的人，三十多岁的人的心脏也可以给小男孩？
刚看完觉得中规中矩 然后越想越气！什么玩意？？
唯一一次自己的评分和豆瓣出分偏差大。分两天看完的，还是觉得是个好电影。节奏很紧凑，也没烂尾，甚至彩蛋都很治愈。
论自由媒体监督公权力和煽动民众情绪的辩证意义，论缺乏死亡教育的父母如何完成道德绑架。如果不是“幸运地”被市长抢走了心脏，他们一家如何面对负债累累的生活呢？而小虫的存活，又彻底阻断了多少同样无助的家庭的希望呢？人只有一种病，叫穷病。但是病根不在市长身上。
肖央在《误杀一》中说过，「当你看过一千部电影，你就会觉得这个世界上根本没有什么离奇的事情」。套用这句话送给陈思诚，「当你看过一千部电影，你就会明白所谓的《误杀二》，根本就是《世纪大劫案》《迫在眉梢》《恐怖直播》等多部国外电影的片段大拼盘而已」。与前作毫无关联且文不对题的电影典范，烂尾系列电影之新军。电影只是用了误杀的IP去吸引眼球，实质上却在讲一个与题目毫无关联的、无任何新意的、拼凑的、拖沓的、无聊至极的狗血故事。建议避雷。二星不能再多了。
没有预想那么差，但就女新闻人主导查案和X蛋结尾这两点，让整片剧情显得就一逻辑智障。肖央演技太可以了。看完2，明白了原来《误杀》是个挑战公权力的翻拍系列电影，所以大陆肯定不能当背景了，泰国就....3准备翻拍哪部呢？
