Lizzie Dripping was a British television children's programme produced by the BBC in 1973 and 1975. It was written by Helen Cresswell and set in the country village of Little Hemlock, where a young girl, Penelope, with a vivid imagination encounters a local witch whom only she can see and hear. This singular ability is further complicated by the fact that Penelope has established a reputation for being an imaginative liar, making it even more difficult for her to convince others that her witch is real.
Lizzie Dripping is a dreamer, the kind of girl who is always making things up. The trouble is that her dreams have a nasty habit of turning into real adventures.
Just because witches disappear at the drop of a hat, doesn'mean to say there aren'any - or so Lizzie Dripping believes.
Ever since Lizzie had 'lost' her baby brother, her Mother had been nagging at her. 'She wouldn't carry on at me like this if she knew I'd got a witch for a friend' thought Lizzie.
Albert Arbuckle was quite certain that, growing in his garden, were leeks such as he had never grown before - leeks beautifully green and thick. Lizzie was determined that Dad should win First Prize at the Little Hemlock and Bilbury Leek Show.
It's Gramma's birthday and Lizzie Dripping stops by the graveyard to see if the witch will grant her a wish as a gift.
Auntie Blodwen has her 10 year old nephew Jonathan coming to stay, and Lizzie is asked to help
A mischievous incident tricks Lizzie into trying to spell, but the witch doesn't let her do it that easily
When Lizzie Dripping heads to the seaside she's gobsmacked to see the witch at the water's edge. Anywhere Lizzie goes, the witch can go too!
Lizzie has to say farewell to her witch, with her school project for 2074 taking shape, if only she could get an interview or even a picture of her 'Witch'.
