The New Worst Witch

i just have to say that the girl who plays Mona hallow that is her real hair and it's nice. How childish is it for people to pick on a young girl for that. I was a background on the worst witch and they are all very nice. so what if it was filmed "up north" it's a kid's TV programme they cannot afford a "castle in Canada"!!! I think they've done a brilliant job and this new Miss Hardbroom is much better than the old one. thank god they ditched the P.V.C. dress that was just creepy in the perverted sense. I think there is some great comedy scenes in it. Also the trio are adorable especially as they become closer friends.

The New Worst Witch is absolutely terrible. Firstly, gone is the realistic castle they filmed on location in Canada. Instead, we have a horrible set, probably filmed somewhere up north. The new Mrs Hardbroom is absolutely silly. The first one was acted so well and serious, but this recast is terrible. The woman who plays her acts her as if she's a comedian, its awful. Then there is the new "Worst Witch" and although she's starred in quite a few things and has had her experience, she is no patch on the last "Worst Witch". The friends that are by her side are a joke. It's obvious that this show is trying to make every sort of stereotype, even a girl in a ginger wig - its laughable. This "New Worst Witch" is 3/10 - terribly dire.

Although The New Worst Witch released 20 years ago, at the time of writing, I watched it about a year ago, and did enjoy what I saw.

I like to watch school-based shows and I watch a lot of them, and this is not a bad one.

I like the characters, however, I do not like the character of Belladonna as much as Ethel Hallow, who was the enemy in the original series.

Alice Connor does a fine job of portraying Hettie, Anabel Barnston is good, and Cressie is an interesting character.

As for the teachers, Clare Coulter is the only main cast member from the original series to return, and I am happy she did, because she is brilliant at playing Miss Cackle, just like she was in the original show. And she also plays Agatha Cackle, an evil witch, and she is good at this too.

As for Miss Hardbroom, I preferred Kate Duchene's portrayal in the original series, however Caroline O'Neill is alright. O'Neill is alright at being the strict teacher, however Duchene added more to the role, because she added a more comedic edge.

The other teachers Miss Nightingale, Miss Widget and Miss Swoop are good too. Miss Swoop is very good and she also appeared as a student in the other shows, which is a great character progression to see her now as a teacher!

Miss Nightingale does not really have much personality or backstory as Miss Swoop, and her replacement in the 2nd season Miss Widget is better in my opinion and adds a fresh face to the show.

All in all, the New Worst Witch is a good show. However, I preferred the original Worst Witch and also Weirdsister College, the first spin-off.

However, I give it a solid 8 out of 10.

I absolutely adore the Worst Witch, and I still watch it to this day. The New Worst Witch is a nice TV series, if not as good as the Worst Witch. Cackle's Academy isn't quite what I imagined here, and Caroline O'Neill is good as Miss Hardbroom, but she lacks the frostiness of Kate Duchene and Diana Rigg. Plus, like I felt with Wierdsister College, the story lines aren't as clever or as original. However, the music is fantastic, the writing is good with some funny moments and the camera work and special effects are decent. Out of the original Worst Witch series, as far as I can remember only Clare Coulter returns as Miss Cackle and she is great. Georgina Sherrington who played Mildred even appears in one episode. The acting from all the girls are all very spirited especially Alice Connor(who played Dolphin in the superb 2003 TV drama The Illustrated Mum). Annabel Barnston and Dominique Jackson(who starred alongside John Thaw in Buried Treasure). And Belladonna Bindweed is just as effectively stuck-up and irritating as Ethel Hallow. All in all, good TV series. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Really fun and good show ( some episodes are better and more exciting than others)
