I found the name to a show I loved as a kid tonight - T Bag, I'd never would have remembered it unless it was for these Kids TV websites, well theres two shows I don't remember the names of but would like to, so can you help:

Show 1:
Hill St School or something like that, it was on Childrens BBC in the 95-96 period, from memory it was about a school focused on one class that never had a teacher, but they ran businesses and things, I remember there was a bossy large female Teacher or Head and her minion a bald welsh caretaker.

Show 2:
This is the show I can only describle, I was VERY young when I watched it so forgive me, but from memory it was about a boy who lived in a house (wow!) and in the garden or something lived a witch I think who he would bring in the house (I remember Kitchen being used a lot, she would come through the back door) when his mother was out. I vividly remember the end titles would have this very odd theme tune, the titles were in orange I think and would have the boy and women (I think she was a witch) walking up a street and she would kind of hop and tap her feet at the end.
Now I know the actress who played the women thing has been in a lot of shows over the years - shes old about mid 70's now, I think she was in clocking off and Linda Green as a mother or grandmother figure.
There was a show a few years back which may have been one of the shows I've mentioned where a girl finds out that the woman she thought was her mother (the actress in question) was actually her grand mother and her sister was her mother - I think this was pre Cat and Zoe Eastenders storyline.

(Its not Grotbags)

Anyway if you have made it this far well done I know I wouldn't have.
Thanks.

Christ, I remember both of those shows from when I was younger - they were both pretty good from what I remember! Sadly, I don't remember their names, so no help for you there, but cheers for reminding me of them... happy days!

I have no idea about the first, but isn't that one you describe Simon & The Witch ?

Thats It, Thank You !

OK here's another I've just remembered:

ITV show in late 80's - early 90's period set in a Cafe or hamburger show. The opening Titles had some bloke dancing and I remember lots of Pink - it was called Ritz or something like that.

The other one is Boot Street Band, with the kid who was in Grange Hill and then went into Hollyoaks for five minutes, like all actors his age.

His name began with a Z.

This new one you've come up with is Spatz, surely?
