An ideal film and topic for this month as we approach Halloween, as
David and James are joined by Hanna to discuss one of her
favourite films, The Witches (1990). She also brings with her a watchful
child in order to ensure no witches are present at the time of
recording or able to listen in later as we know from this film that a
witch trying to listen to a child for any length of time would drive
such a creature mad. A great piece of children's fiction by Roald Dahl
adapted to the big screen and blessed by the incredible talents of Jim
Henson himself in his last work for the big screen before he sadly died.
How does the film hold up today and what messages and meaning does it
have? Such tangents this episode include the 'blood libel', Tessa Dahl's revelation about Gary Glitter's paedophilia on This Is Your Life, the elites' penchant for child abuse, Esther Rantzen and (((children's charities))), folk tale and faery tale, and much more.... Spoiler warning as always.
