    Previous Episode: https://www.imdforums.com/threads/the-worst-witch-2017-s01e06-the-best-teacher.5113/ This episode was quite a surprise. It's very much an "It's a Wonderful Life" type of story, illustrating how circumstances change drastically just by altering a few events, with a different...

    Previous Episode: https://www.imdforums.com/threads/the-worst-witch-2017-s01e04-pond-life.5089/ This is one of my favorite methods of re-imagining a cult classic franchise. This episode is directly based off of events from the first book (which was likely adapted into the 1998 TV series as...
