[@Nicky2822]

From my era where I always remember coming from primary school and I watched it sometimes. The actress from Emmerdale who played Diane was great as T Bag and also a very young Linda Carter from EastEnders was a great child actress.

I was born in 1981 and have the most vague memories of watching this. I remember a young lad who assisted the bad sorceress (although he wasn't a complete baddie himself) called T Shirt and I remember the sorceress reading tea leaves and perhaps even watching people in the bottom of her tea cup. I never, ever thought that I would find this programme again so thank you so very much for uploading it!

[@lampshade8818]

I thought the same thing, too; about Kellie Bright being referred to as 'bright'. :) .....I am a huge fan of Bad Girls, and have watched the whole series several times, but can't believe I didn't recognise her in it as a character. I love this. I'm off to Google now to find out what part she played...

[@VideotapeFTW]

The strange thing is that Kellie's never really been off our screens down the years. After T-Bag came The Upper Hand: www.comedy.co.uk/images/library/comedies/300x200/t/the_upper_hand.jpg Then she was Ali G's girlfriend Julie: pbs.twimg.com/media/B_0f6SyXEAAh0iE.jpg Later she was Rodney Trotter's mother in Rock and Chips: www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2010/01_january/15/rock3.shtml And, along with Bad Girls, there were a whole load of other things in between. But it took until EastEnders and Strictly for her to become a well-known face on television, for one reason or another. I'm glad she's finally getting the recognition, though!

[@lampshade8818]

Thank you for the insights- I do remember her from 'The Upper Hand', but that is only because I remember pretty much everyone from a certain era in my life for no reason at all (and these names just stuck!). I wasn't even a 'fan' of the programme- I just remembered her name at the time (and her being associated with it). I even watched it once or twice. I think 'Brush Strokes' was on at the same time- so I remember Karl Howman as the actor. I always used to read the credits. :)

Yes, we've completed series nine a couple of days ago (kzbin.info/aero/PLYzsPPYPRRFXC30xKLPgETInME-OsyhMt), and series five and six will be uploaded in due course. We weren't originally going to bother as they're already out there in one form or another, but the final clincher was that last lot that are all squashed and stretched into widescreen. T-Bag deserves better than that (as do the loyal fans of 30-odd years)! Plus, of course, there's all the extra continuity and all that, which I for one love. :-)

[@mikeroberts942]

Yes I agree, they are out there but not to this stranded that is why it is worth you uploading them. Always great to see such devotion form someone like yourself.

Thank you very much - very kind of you to say, though I can't take all the credit. As for the writers, they also did Spatz and the majority of the 90s reboot of The Tomorrow People. Most people would be happy enough to come up with only one cult classic in a career!
