Please help as I cannot for the life of me remember what this was called and noone else believes it existed!

Hi Arimazes,

I remember seeing that show in the 70's. It was straight after Bagpuss on BBC One, I think.

I vaguely remember a cartoon called The Oddball Couple with characters called Spiffy (a cat) and Fleabag (a dog). I think it was based on the other tv series The Odd Couple.

Hello!

 

The witch was called T-Bag -  T(alulah)-Bag, and she had a nephew called T-Shirt.  There was also a girl in it, but can't remember who she was, or her name. Was on CITV.  It was set in a kind of junk shop I think...

 

To all those who didn't believe it existed, tell them it does!! =)

oh, and I think that the witch was played by the woman who plays Diane Blackstock in Emmerdale, though I think someone else took over after a few series....I might be wrong though..

"The "T-Bag" series was a product of Thames Television (now part of Pearson Television) and ran from the early Eighties to the early Nineties. It was written by Lee Pressman and Grant Cathro (writers of Americanised burger sitcom "Spatz", "Mike and Angelo" and various episodes of "The Tomorrow People"). The basic storyline in each series was that a power-crazed witch (T-Bag) had taken up residence inside some object in a junk shop belonging to a boy (Thomas) and his Grandad. She would oust whoever else was living in the object and create a T-Room for herself. T-Bag would then make her presence known by kidnapping Thomas (who was thenceforth known as T-Shirt) and forcing him to be her servant (or T-Caddy) to keep her magical powers strong by making endless cups of tea from the leaves of her evil T-Plant.

Into the picture comes a sweet, innocent young girl who then happens across the object in the shop and meets the character that has been usurped by T-Bag. Invariably, that character knows how to banish T-Bag (always involving a number of mystical artefacts that T Bag has stolen and scattered about the place so as to avoid banishment). The young girl then has to go and collect them all back up again and restore them to their rightful place."

just swiped that from the net.
