T-Bag | comment |
Along with Knightmare, this was an ITV kids' favourite of the eighties and nineties. It consisted of nine seasons, each of which had its own title. There is no official title for the series as a whole but it's known as T-Bag for simplicity's sake.T-Bag (short for either Tallulah or Tabatha, depending on which season you're watching) is a witch who wants to Take Over the World but is constantly thwarted either by a young girl collecting the scattered MacGuffins which can defeat her and using them to do just that, or by having her own MacGuffins scattered through time and space and a young girl beating her to finding them again. There were five different girls (Debbie, Holly, Sally, Polly and Penny) throughout eight seasons and the ages at which they were cast changed to match the age of the one constant character, T-Bag's assistant, T-Shirt. Originally, he was a little boy but, being played by the same actor throughout nine seasons, he wasn't so little anymore by the end. T-Shirt (short for Thomas) is abducted from the real world by Tallulah and put under mind control in order to brew T-Bag's magical-power-giving tea and help her collect the MacGuffins. At the end of each season, T-Bag almost reaches her goal but then the MacGuffins are reunited and T-Bag's control over T-Shirt is broken and he helps the girl defeat T-Bag and return home. When Tabatha came along, T-Shirt seemed to be helping her out quite willingly but then Tabatha wasn't really scary. For Season Nine the idea of a girl on the opposite side of things was dropped and a previously unmentioned cousin of T-Shirt appeared instead.Originally intended to be reasonably educational but that idea was dropped pretty quickly.Seasons.

T-Bag / int_7b21ef92 | comment |
Later-Installment Weirdness: The final series, Take Off with T-Bag was a far departure from what came before; T-Bag was now the protagonist as she set off in her spaceship chasing a set of golden envelopes in search of her birthday surprise. T-Shirt accompanied her, of course, but now the two were joined by his Chinese cousin Tow Ling Shirt (who was likely set up as a potential replacement for T-Shirt as John Hasler has stated that he probably wouldn't have returned had the show continued). | |

Literal Genie: Unusually reluctant version in the third series. Holly had made a mistake with the second of her three wishes, and muttered that she wished she hadn't wished that wish. The genie granted that as her third wish and was about to leave when Holly's friend pointed out that, taken literally, it meant that she hadn't wished her second wish and so still had it. The genie regarded this as Loophole Abuse, but grudgingly allowed Holly to put things right by having her second wish again. | |
