Grotbags is a television series about a fictional witch called Grotbags, who was a popular fixture on British children's television during the 1980s and early 1990s. A character sculpted very much in the mould of the traditional pantomime villain, Grotbags has always been played by actress and singer Carol Lee Scott in a costume comprising distinctive vivid green make-up and a witch's cape and hat.

Premise

Grotbags originally appeared in Emu's World, which was replaced after a few series by Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show. In 1991 Grotbags the character was given her own spin-offs series after Emu's World was axed by Central Television. The series was created by puppeteer Richard Coombs and Carol Lee Scott around an idea of a puppet series. The scripts for the series were written by Bob Hescott and directed by Colin Clews.[1]

Each episode rotated around Grotbags and her minions at Gloomy Fortress, and their day-to-day lives.
