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.

索尼克2出来，1说什么故事已经忘掉了。这些游戏IP改编电影的结果都跑不脱合家欢，大概因为游戏IP的定位比较低龄吧。
在上一部还做着拯救世界的大英雄，在这一部却重返童真，当着一个没长大的孩子。
整体故事还算完整，部分情节逻辑不太对。道具、服装还原还是蛮好的，演员演技也不错，算是同人作品里及格的了。片中给达叔专门留了特辑，谢谢导演。
比起第一部来说似乎没有那么子供向，可能是所谓“we are伐木累”的人类和卡通人物互动部分较少，而是回归到了外星刺猬的命题和单纯人类情感的捕捉。于是在近期看了许多失望续集下，很惊喜这部更加拓宽世界观的升级作。票房上的记录一定会延续毕竟有的票仓还没开放，自然而然产生的“宇宙/续集/衍生”也足够让人期待。
遗憾的是，人类主人公由于能力有限只能陷入被边缘化但又不能被完全抛弃的剧作窘境。
外星刺猬和他的超能朋友们打败大魔王拯救地球。比第一部剧情更丰富，更有娱乐性一些。
索尼克的超能力时强时弱，太多冲突了。上一部还能一秒往返太平洋，第二部竟然连跑去小岛都做不到，甚至还能毫发无损的到达小岛。
在这样一部片子里真是不合时宜
没想到这破玩意还能出2
都挺好，就是齐天大圣也太丑了，太丑了，他可是美猴王啊
女主角不错，不是网红锥子脸，还算灵动，其他的就不说了。
塔尔斯塔尔斯塔尔斯塔尔斯傍地走，安能辨我是雌雄！
自圆其说，还挺好看的，年纪大了，看到紫霞最后改命回到原点竟然哭了，故事是好故事，不知为何没有大话西游的质感
其实已经没啥新鲜感了，但金凯瑞的表演还是值得看的。
剧情虽然一般般，但是热闹，何况角色又是那么可爱，就算低幼化的故事，也能津津有味的看下去😏
国外的反派好没创意，破坏世界还要借助宝石的力量。cm的摩根在这里怎么还是FBI啊哈哈哈。金凯瑞的表演真是锦上添花。
达叔的表演很卖力了，可惜这个主题已经被星爷拉到了天花板，再拍不创新内容核心的话，就注定只是个陪衬。
再加上些漫威和dc吐槽
变成超级赛亚人之后从天上取热狗这一段还是看笑了。
单纯只为看金·凯瑞，应该是比1的戏份多了点，还开了场，就那么点戏，却是全片亮点。反而其他都是配戏，超级赛亚人对抗圆形机甲，以为能过几招，结果弹指间灰飞烟灭，懵！5
