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.

结尾还是很让人心酸的，那是普通人无能为力时的最后的挣扎。
不说和第一部没关系，和误杀这两个字都没关系，就愣叫误杀2
不说和第一部没关系，和误杀这两个字都没关系，就愣叫误杀2
只想说市长靠关系拿到器官供体这种犯罪程度，比起贪污上亿要轻很多吧，更不用说为了几十万搞出一个豆腐渣工程害人姓名，当然最后也只是想洗白市长，但感觉比第一部差点意思
好久没进电影院了，包场的感觉真好。有原著打底，真是破船也有三根钉，有趣的部分全是藤子·F.不二雄的，改编部分实在毫无必要（你说你搞一个姐姐形象干啥，原作本来就有无性别的象征意味，隐喻最广泛的人被压迫），不如老老实实出个重制版。不过，幼时看只觉得有趣，现在看才发现左翼艺术家的笔法。这本质上还是一个走向gh与恢复dz角力的故事（这样得故事如今是越来越少见了），流亡总统和将军真是怎么看怎么眼熟。异星人依靠人类确立了天赐的权力，如今人类自己却身处两难的岔路口，看不到未来……
不大行，虽然演员们都很努力，但是故事本身有问题，还有，为什么在现实主义基底的影片里要尬聊和搞笑。
感觉到片方已经尽全力了。我很喜欢这个片子，它就是我这个阶段的萤火虫。肖央真好。
器官移植名单如此透明，市长都需要跟屁民抢心脏，这地下器官买卖估计也没多大赚头；
没抱太大期望去看，意外觉得还不错，虽然看得出竭力在营造煽情的氛围，但电影也实实在在做到了这一点，还是能够感动到比较感性的人，并且部分剧情的反转还是有些出人意料。影片最大的瑕疵或者说漏洞还是心脏大小的设定问题，本身孩子是因为心脏太大而需要做手术，可最后换的依然是个成人大小的心脏，逻辑上有些难以自洽。肖央的演技可以说炉火纯青，比起误杀1更加娴熟，为影片增加了可看点。或许这部电影不叫误杀2，评分会略微高一点，不过结尾林日朗的死亡，倒也勉强能够扣题，一个朴实的父亲为了孩子遭到误杀的故事。
我看过挺多港片的，所以看见任达华真的特别亲切，他这种实力派演员真是很棒，剧中饰演的老警探从动作到服装都是这么入戏、接地气。前些年港片真好看啊，不过感觉这几年大陆在一点点赶上来，就像这部《误杀2》相信以后我们国内的片子会越来越好，都要加油哦！
群情激奋那段，女记者欲言又止，蛮好。
94'这一切本来就不公平，我们可以为了生活忍气吞声，可以接受卑微地活着，但是他们不能像虫子一样把我们随意踩死，
很拉胯很民粹--狗尾续貂，比一差五条街--女记者气质就像个神经质变态杀手
孩子丢失40秒两小时版。。。心脏移植哎你突出一点时间性可以吗
中肯点来说，本片和烂片还是有区别的，烂片拍出来是浪费资源，起码本片有想要呈现的核心表达，也有想要讽刺的社会议题，但却用了一个自以为精心布局，却显得拙劣稚嫩甚至笨拙的故事去呈现，就是这部电影拍不拍都没什么必要。主创团队以为观众有这样的需求，但很可惜没有。肖央的角色贯彻了“一生要强的爸爸”，还真不如好好改编原作《误杀瞒天记》的续集《较量》，用回原版人马，或许观众好感度会相对好一些。
大奇特：应该叫《误杀3》，这样就和《误杀1》无关了。
建议降低观影期待 当成喜剧电影会比较好 bug太多了 文咏珊看着像小弟弟的姐姐 不像妈妈
讲阶级，讲贫富差距，讲社会问题，左翼评论家们怎么看？好不好？悬不悬？浮不浮？
改编自美国电影《迫在眉梢》。
好平淡，到快结束才终于有了高潮。不知道泰国人看中国电影天天抹黑泰国政府是什么感觉。回家一查才发现医生是宋洋，真是越老越帅了。
