one of my absolute favorites!

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I was 6 years old when this first aired on citv. I found all the teachers there really scary, especially Ms Hardbroom. Her serious face always put the fear of God into me. I used to look up to Mildred, Maud, Ethel and all the others and think they were really brave to be there! I only found out recently they replaced Ethel with a different actress, they did a really good job because I didn't even notice. The second actress Katy Allen has a chubbier face and a bit of a lisp. I enjoyed this so much as a child and was pleased when I got reunited with it thanks to YouTube. The stories are great, the girls are likable even the mean ones like Ethel. I can appreciate this a lot more now that I'm old enough to follow the stories, when I was young lets just say I had a short attention span. I love the scenery, its set in a cold, dark depressing castle but the girls make it seem anything but depressing. I only wish they'd release this on DVD.

As an avid reader, I enjoyed this delightful TV adaption of The Worst Witch! I remember being all excited to get home just so I could watch it! Miss Cackle was one of my faves, as she reminded me of one of my own teachers! There has definitely been some 'modern additions' to it, but it still retains its essence of old British 'charm'! But people should remember that this is based on an old book, intended for young children with vivid imaginations! It does not in anyway portray or is associated with wicca - as some people assume! This book was written way before Wicca became a big concept in modern society! And the producers definitely did not have Wicca in mind while producing it! So don't think that they are wrongly type casting! They just made it to the criteria in this classic book!

I don't really want to give my opinions on witches themselves, other than that it's ridiculous to form some sort of angry assumption that just because they're witches in a school that they're 'Wiccans'. It's a CHILDREN'S show. Not meant to be taken seriously, just for watching. I liked it when it was on, and think it did pretty well with the characters. If you're looking for a show that kids will enjoy watching (but hopefully won't take seriously and try to find a witch's school to join) then I think you should look into this one. It's funny, and even the girl who plays Mildred fits the part very well. Even though it's not on anymore, it was a pretty good show.

The first time I saw "Worst Witch" was around halloween so I thought it would never be on again, you can just imagine my delight when I found out it was a series! I would HIGHLY suggest to everyone and anyone who might be wary about this children's show to watch it (at least once). You won't regret it (especially if you're like me and enjoy everything British and magical)!
