Corrected lyrics make sense, which is why I could never ever find any results for wizadee+giant star on google! lightbulb moment Paul Daniels I now find creepy.

Also a fan of the Queen’s Head, about a lovely crazy chaotic family and a girl with a Magic coin. It had Honeysuckle Weeks in it (or elder sister) who I had a huge girl crush on 😍

Wizbit! Loved that programme

I thought it was 'Ha ha thisaway, ha ha thataway'?

And am I imagining this or did Paul Daniels have something to do with it?

Was Wizadora the series with the giant star and giant carrot singing “ha ha wizadee”?

The song went:
Ha ha wizadee
Ha ha wizadee
Ha ha wizadee
My oh my

Haunts me still Grin

I loved the Jinny at Finmory books (horsy child), and have liked the name Jinny since I read them.

I have a dim memory of someone in a book series I liked (a school one?) being called Darcy, which I also love.

Bewitched - Tabitha

Catweazle. Every class should have a Catweazle.

(In my 1974 primary class, ours had a real name of Richard...Stinky Richard).

Mary Mungo and Midge if triplets were forecast.

Rupert. Fast becoming ine of my favourites for a boy.

Emu. Maybe not.
