Today's next programme is another fond memory for me, Simon and the Witch!
Simon is a very sensible young schoolboy who has a friend who is a real witch. She is very silly, and a huge showoff.
Based
on books by Margaret Stuart Barry, this children’s comedy starred Hugh
Pollard as Simon, a boy who befriends Elizabeth Spriggs’ fantastically
mischievous witch, who actually didn’t do much harm at all. Simon was
friends with spiteful schoolgirl Sally and Cuthbert, who was rather feeble and lived
with his frightfully posh aunt, Lady Fox-Custard, played by Joan Simms. Fox-Custard had her own butler,
Hopkins, but between them they were unable to thwart the witch and her
pranks - in fact, Simon was the sensible one, and had to keep this mad
granny-figure in check.
