- Eerie psych-folk epic 'The Witch' from Mark Fry's classic 1972 LP 'Dreaming With Alice', with images from Oliver Postgate & Peter Firmin's 1965 animated series 'The Pogles', banned from repeat showings because the BBC deemed the witch too frightening.
Thank you, Stuart Maconie, host of BBC 6 Music's "Freak Zone," which airs on Sunday evenings from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. He's currently playing this song at 8:18 p.m. on July 21, 2024. ❤
This will be a great song to practice the craft to, blessed be
Pogle wood, viewing of choice for children in 70s brilliant oliver postgate stop motion puppetry
…..Yeah!
….Tottie. Brilliant and the last great Oliver Postgate flick.
….dark as *uck, too.
This is the most awesome spooky psychedelic song in long time I heard. Love it 💚
Absolutely amazing Psyche classic... and he was only 19 when he made Dreaming with Alice!
wait that's actually so good !!!!!!!!!!!
Heard this last night while toasted out of my skull. Bah gawd it was spiritual.
i love making a penut butter sandwhich to this
Austin Stanley I love smoking weed to this
I'm picturing a witch watching you make a PB&J through the window. She really wants that sandwich.
Toasted pb&j?
Peanut butter sandwich!?! Wowzers
Austin Stanley that is possibly the best response to a music video I have ever read. Thank you! I hate to ask but, do you ever add honey? I do! There, I’ve gone and ruined it!
So enchanting
I love this spooksville
Great vid on all levels, well played.
and I'm all alone...
this will be in the soundtrack if I ever make a film.
Yeah!
did you do it?
Hey!
Dark and just beautiful
Among my favorite songs
Wonder what is so enchanting about this video. I have the DVD of the episode/s that were banned, going to watch them soon. Absolutely captivated by this song, I can't stop listening to it. Beautiful and haunting with these clips
Back in the 60s our children's tv was scarier than modern horror movies!
Sweeter
Where has this been all of my life?
Top video, cheers for the memories of a trip to Pogles Wood! Thanks also for the reminder of a great old song that i've not heard in years. Must play this on my archive show soon. Nice one :)
I LOVE THIS SONG AND VIDEO COMBINATION.... Thanks for the upload
Dark and Spooky,I think due to the Beatles and (as much as I love them) The Greatful Dead too many people thought Psych meant super happy flowery hippy music but there was a darkness and experimentalism to it as well.
The witch is looking through my window
Her cold breath on the window pane
The witch is eating watermelon
The pips she’ll try to rearrange
And I’m all alone
Waiting for someone
To come on home
To come on home
To come on home
To come on home
To come on home
The witch is coming through my window
The winter snow upon her hair
The curtains move upon the wind
She’s coming right on up the stairs
And I’m all alone
Waiting for someone
To come on home
To come on home
To come on home
To come on home
To come on home
And ah, the witch, the witch is coming right on through my window
And ah, the witch, the witch is coming right on through my window
Right on through my window
Right on through my window
Did you just write down what you heard or do you have the Dreaming With Alice Songbook available? I’m desperate to get more lyrics. Due to the foggy mixing, I seldom hear quite what he’s saying.
Spooky,reminds me of Long Lankin.
Yikes! This TV program terrified the crap out of me when I was little! 😬😆Great tune, though👍
…..I think you were not alone and after a fashion, even Oliver Postgate commented on how the first series was indeed, frightening.
The BBC really had the hump about all the complaints from parents and I think they banned The Witch character.
This is just brilliant
I love this!
best playlist
The first time I heard this I was doing security at an empty factory, it was thunder storming and I was reading Wytches by Scott Snyder, It has stuck ever since. Great and dark. Whatever happened to Mark Fry?
He still makes music as far as I know.
The witch got him.
my alley right up it
Great! Thanks for that!
Great vid mate!! I like this! Thx for uploading these rare videos of the Witch! which I was trying hard searching them! :)

What's not to love about this song & video...... (Not a question).
Dark folk with added Pogles.

My brain keeps meddling this is up with Harry Potter, and now it just sounds like Hermione sneaking into Ron's room through the window because Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are about to be home. 🤦
