Grotbags is a television series about a fictional witch called Grotbags, who was a popular fixture on British children's television during the 1980s and early 1990s. A character sculpted very much in the mould of the traditional pantomime villain, Grotbags has always been played by actress and singer Carol Lee Scott in a costume comprising distinctive vivid green make-up and a witch's cape and hat.
Grotbags originally appeared in Emu's World, which was replaced after a few series by Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show. In 1991 Grotbags the character was given her own spin-offs series after Emu's World was axed by Central Television. The series was created by puppeteer Richard Coombs and Carol Lee Scott around an idea of a puppet series. The scripts for the series were written by Bob Hescott and directed by Colin Clews.
Each episode rotated around Grotbags and her minions at Gloomy Fortress, and their day-to-day lives.
