The best children's programme of all time (bar Bagpuss)

I absolutely loved this - I used to go miles out of my way just to free up those five minutes before tea time when Willo the wisp was shown. It had all those magic ingredients that spark a child's imagination - a wicked villain (Evil Edna), an omniscient narrator (the wisp) and a flawed protagonist (Mavis the fat fairy). There was also the Moog, which inspired my friend so much that she determined to call every dog she ever owned by that fantastic name the Moog. I think to a certain extent we never quite forget the characters who by their presence on the small screen introduce us to magic and the world outside reality. They have stayed with me to the extent that now at the grand age of my mid twenties I am going to go and spend £10.99 on the complete Willo the wisp on video.

First-rate cartoon series.

This is a fine cartoon series, the sort which anyone of any age can enjoy, so I can't understand for the life of me why the DVD is no longer available (along with Alias the Jester, which is another comical cartoon series). The titular character, whose name is based on that curious glowing sometimes seen in forests, is a ghostly figure who narrates tales of the forest which involve the characters who live there. These involve a nutritionally-challenged fairy, a witch who looks like a TV with a face, a troll-like beast who used to be a prince and a cat called Carwash. First rate cartoon with imaginative stories and characters, and comedy film veteran Kenneth Williams is great as the voices.

The Best British Kids Programme Ever

This was a fantastic little series. Kenneth Williams did a great job providing all the voices for the characters: Willow the Wisp, the narrator; Arthur the Caterpillar; Mavis the Fairy; and Evil Edna, the wicked witch of a TV (subliminal message alert). Great.

excellent children's series of shorts

When 'Willo the Wisp' ran at teatimes in the early 1980s, BBC television was a much better place - these charming and waspish five-minute cartoons were enhanced by the delightfully fruity tones of the incomparable Kenneth Williams telling the tale.

What it was about escapes me now but I do remember Willo was a ghost and there was a grouchy television set named Evil Edna - fabulous cartoon work on all fronts. I know the series was revived with James Dreyfus narrating but I can't imagine it would have worked. The 80s version? Pure class - one of the top ten children's TV programmes of all time.

Spot on.

It's usually the case that you rediscover an old show that you watched as a kiddie, only to be hugely disappointed because it's not as funny or exciting as you remember it. This isn't one of those shows! Why 'Willo The Wisp' isn't shown anymore is a mystery, because it's so good!! Not exactly state of the art animation, but the short stories are often very funny, and Kenneth Williams' characterizations are spot on. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

Wissenswertes
In the posthumously-published book 'The Kenneth Williams Diaries', Williams professed to a dislike for the show, considering it too slow-paced and technically indifferent to capture children's imaginations. The runaway success of the series, combined with the cult following it acquired among adults, consequently proved him wrong.
