That programme with the puppets...not the muppets tho

Okay so there's this old show I used to watch when I was a wee one. It had these really weird puppets, kinda spooky but it was a kids’ show. I think the main one was a witch or some sort. It's like 'Sooty and Sweep' level of old. This has been bugging me for weeks now!

This is gonna bug me now too, can picture the show but not the name. Was it 'Worzel Gummidge'? Puppet's a bit of a stretch since it's a scarecrow, but he had a creepy feel for sure.

Your post has really got me wracking my brain. It could even be 'Tottie: The Story of a Dolls' House'. Darker and more eerie for sure. There weren't witches, but there were definitely weird vibes from those puppets.

Um, I don't know if you might be confusing puppets with animations? 'Grotbags' was quite the witchy character and she had a puppet series after the Rod Hull and Emu show. Was that it?

Honestly, your description immediately made me think of 'The Herbs'. I know it's not super spooky, but the puppets were kinda quirky and the show is definitely old enough to fit your timeframe.

What you described is ringing a bell. There was 'The Tales of The Tooth Fairies' where the puppets had a kind of eerie feel to them, especially if you're looking back with adult eyes. And there's 'Pipkins', which had Hartley Hare that could give you the creeps.

Might be a long shot but could you be thinkin' of 'Rentaghost'? Them puppets were pretty odd and had a ghostly thing goin' on. Not exactly Sooty level, but old school for sure.

Sounds like you might be talking about 'Wizbit' – that show was classic 80s weirdness. Main character was a wizard's hat I think, definitely had a magical vibe. Not exactly a witch, but pretty close? Wiki it, see if that jogs your memory!
