Children: Badjelly the Witch 9.05am BBC1
Spike Milligan's imaginative tale, written for his daughter in 1973, is as weird and wonderful as you'd expect. The characters, drawn with childishly simple lines, interact with Milligan as he tells and draws the story. There's more animation at 9.35am in Santa's Special Delivery. (JR)
