I wonder what that old green Witch 'Grotbags' is doing nowadays. (Anyone not in their twenties might not know who Grotbags was).

The last time I saw Grotbags was at a BP petrol garage near Thirsk. She pulled in front of me in a shoe shaped car. When I asked about her career implosion, she responded with 'ew I'll throw in some flies and be gone with you evil children'. Some people are just poor communicators.

Yeah, shelle I was just looking back to childrens entertainment from when I was younger and Grotbags was one of the more prominent. Also, do we remember Knightmare (on CITV). I actually auditioned for that show.. didn't get through though. I did see the guy who played 'Hordris the Confuser' though :-)

Remember Button Moon? That's one that is lesser celebrated. Everyone remembers Rainbow because it has been re-franchised in recent times. What about Wizbit. I seem to remember, he was shunned by schools and stuff, because of his resemblance to the KKK outfit.

I'm desperate to find pics/episodes of a old CITV (i think) program called greenfingers, where a guy dressed as this fuzzy green guy grew things in a magic tree from different colour egg things that he picked out of a few...

I toured with "The Grotbags Show" for four years as well as appearing in my very first Pantomime with her ("Oh Yes I Did!") Carol was a scream to work with, lots of fun and never had a bad word to say to us "grown ups!"
The nicest and most generous person in showbusiness that I ever met. Now, I really must call her and say "there's paddy kane at the door" - haven't spoken for ages .. . .

I met Carol AKA Grotbags when I stayed on her Caravan site near Bridgewater. She is probably the one of the most wonderful human beings I have ever met. She made the group of 13 of us so welcome and told us so many fantastic stories of her career. I will be back to visit her on my next trip to the west country.
