The best children's programme of all time (bar Bagpuss)
5 January 2003
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.
