this is the best TV program ever without a doubt! and I'm not just saying it because one of my best friends is the second lead character but it is very good.....now going back to Anabel Barnston who plays Mona hallow she gives an amazing performance you can really see the depths in her character and the variety in her skill as an actress and i can't see why she wasn't cast for the main character but I'm sure we we'll see, with her startling skill, her in the future and who knows whats next for this extremely talented girl I'm thinking Oscars and who knows what else all i can hope to say is that she remembers the people who supported her through times of hardship (me!) and thats really all i have to say about this great girl!!!!!! lily beck xxoxoxoxo
I find 'The new worst witch' awesome! I haven't watched the old one before it which was called 'The worst witch' but I don't think u should compare the 2 as 'The new worst witch' is supposed to be 'new' not another copy of the old one, otherwise it would be totally boring. I think Alice Connor is fabulous in it, she plays 'Hettie Hubble' really well, I can't compare Miss Hardbroom to the old one as I haven't seen it. But in the second series of the 'New worst witch' there is some new characters like 'Miss Widget' who I can't help but laugh when I see her as she seems really funny in the things she says and does, the actress plays her well. I think 'Hettie Hubble's friends are good, but I'm wondering if Anabel Branstan's hair is really that colour, or if it is faked???? All in all its great, but one downside is the script as I think the script is too predictable and you've already made up your mind what is going to happen and u were right! But apart from that its marvellous to watch and I recommend it to any1!
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.
Really fun and good show ( some episodes are better and more exciting than others)

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.
