CITV

And I saw all the season one.

I unfortunately didn't see season two when it aired because CITV, which was the English network, they, they put it on at the time, decided to move it a half an hour earlier.

in the morning, which meant it was before I woke up.

And despite me pleading with my mother, she would not wake me up half an hour earlier.

So like we'd have been two by the time it was done, and but obviously we got it that tiny bit later, and then we had the Dolph Lundgren film in '87, which again, at four years old, probably too young for it really.

Yeah, so I mean you grow- growing up watching it because it's, it's on CITV because it was obviously cheap- And we, we did only have four channels.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

And who's he?

And incredibly, this episode, when it was shown on CITV Saturday morning, this went out uncut.

Right.

I think by this point they were, they just did not care.

And a relentless enemy.

Mm.

And something else that slipped past the CITV censors.

Ah.

If we are puddles, we cannot make a podcast.

Today we're taking a look at series 6 episode 7 which was shown on CITV on Friday the 23rd of October 1992.

Beauty and the Beast were still at the top of the box office while in the singles chart Sleeping Satellite by Tamsin Archer enjoyed its second and final week in prime position and thank god it was the last one.

So we did talk about Beauty and the Beast last time.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Cackles After Dark, the podcast that takes a dive into the nostalgic cauldron that is CITV's The Worst Witch.

It's episode four and we have another very special guest in the studio today.

She spent her days at Cackles clad in skin tight snake skin, dreaming of discipline, appearing from thin air and terrifying a generation.

When I was younger, going from the Batman stuff, that was what I was doing throughout my younger years.

You know, like CITV and stuff like that.

But I found it very boring.

I was a restless kid.

I appeared on various...

CITV and CBBC shows doing, you know, blowfishy stuff all along the way, continuing to do real work.

You know, I've worked in garden centers, I've worked in aquariums, I've worked in pubs, just keeping bread on the table because I haven't, Unlike others, I haven't had this great wad of money to say, yeah, you can just do that full time and you get supported in the meantime.

And yeah, and just push, push, pushed.
