- At last, Grotbags wins an award for her services to witchery! She's on the receiving end of a "Batty", and on top of that, her Auntie Kipplewick pops round for a visit.
This episode (no idea of the original air date, by the way - can you help?) is an excellent opportunity to see Carol Lee Scott acting in relatively ordinary costume and without her green make-up. In fact, Grotbags isn't in this one a great deal at all, with Auntie Kipplewick stealing the limelight.
Now's probably as good a time as any to give a shout out to a couple of the puppeteers and voice actors on the show. Colin the Bat is played by Francis Wright, who was perhaps most famously The Head on Art Attack. (Now I've told you that, you can hear it clearly, can't you?) He was also in You and Me, Spitting Image, and Sooty. Doris the Dodo, meanwhile, was the work of Richard Coombs, who was also part of the Spitting Image team. His other recognisable roles include CITV's Scally the Dog and Gilbert the Alien from Get Fresh. I gather that Francis and Richard filled all non-human roles on the programme, but I'm willing to be corrected on that.

"Alas! I thought I could frolic with impunity!"15 minutes of joy! :-)
Gosh, Grotbags was awesome, shame she died, she will forever be missed.
Brings back happy memories, doesn't it? :-)
Wonder if anyone else is watching this I’ve got to show my kids grotbags she was awesome
Such sad news about Carol today. I was in an episode of this series - I played a Cluedo character magicked to life to help Grotbags solve a mystery in the style of Miss Marple.
Sad news indeed, yes. I hope you have happy memories of appearing in the show, and that it was as big a laugh to make as it looks! (Incidentally, it sounds like you're describing the episode called Miss Maple Syrip Solves It - one of only four that I don't have. You don't happen to have a copy lying around, do you?)
VideotapeFTW Unfortunately not! I lost all the recordings of me during my workshop days. I was hoping you might be able to help me track one down!
+Peter Marshall Drat. Ah, well, I'm sure there must be a copy out there somewhere, and I'll be sure to let you know if I manage to find one. What else were you in back then, by the way?
VideotapeFTW Thanks very much! Like all the Workshop children, I was in quite a bit of Central television produced stuff - an educational programme for Channel Four about television, an episode of the Upper Hand, a show set in a boarding school called Chris Cross, an episode of Woof. A couple of others as extras.
+Peter Marshall Interesting - what episode of Woof were you in? There's a small chance I may at least be able to help you out with that.
RIP Grotbags! Such sad news.
You're very welcome. :-)
Sir...thank you SO much for uploading these absolute gems.
Grotbags is back, brats! And we're happy!
+MrDCWood You're very welcome - it just wouldn't be right to leave Grotbags languishing in the ITV vaults for all time, would it? :-)
+VideotapeFTW
NEVER! GROTBAGS FTW FOREVER! :)
Thats my childhood summed up in one word!!!! Grotbags was fab! Greg Scott told me that Carol who played Grotbags is doing fine after a bad health scare!
+Katie Fraser Oh, I do hope Carol is doing all right - she's definitely earned a long and happy retirement in my book.
FABULOUS I LOVE IT
It does thank you so much x
I put a bet on a horse cuz of tommie boyd on talk radio said in a very very convincing way, that it was going to win. it didn't! I miss those daytime boyd shows.
