Emu’s World was eventually created, bringing Grotbags into the homes of the nation. Her goal was a simple one - capture that Emu, and use its special powers to control all the brats in the world. This show also brought to us a certain catchphrase, that any of us that are a certain age will no doubt recite whenever the doorbell rings…
The result is one of the very best children’s tv characters to ever grace the screen, aside from being the self proclaimed most beautiful, talented, well dressed, most magical and cleverest witch in the whole wide world, grotbags is one of the most engaging, memorable and energetic characters I can recall from my childhood.
She was forever bothering the inhabitants of the Pink Windmill, often flying there on her hover grot before beaming down to cause havoc.
Now - did you know that Grotbags actually had a nephew? Who remembers that? If you remember his name - put it in the comments below - I bet you don’t remember!
Grot Bags Grottbags
Grotbags had a few companions during the various Emu series and specials,. Croc is the one I always remember, the hard done by walking handbag as Grotty calls him. Then there’s Robot Redford, often referred to as the mechanical dustbin by Grotbags
Another one I’d completely forgotten about was Grovel the manservant - a sort of butler type who seemed to have a bit more gumption than Redford or Croc, but nevertheless just as much of a nuisance
And not so much a companion - rather a figure to be feared - the magnificent fred, president of the WI, The Witches Institute, would occasionally appear and put old Grotty into a bit of a spin

What a wonderful tribute - I'm amazed at all those old newspaper clippings you managed to dig up. Hopefully some recordings of Carol in early TV appearances will emerge at some point, too. Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks for taking time to help me out with this 👍
@@TFOOS No problem - it was an absolute pleasure, and the hard work was all yours! You've ended up making something far better then any of Carol's published/broadcast obituaries.
I met her. As both Carol and Grotbags. Very loud and alarming, in either guise. But for all the villainy of Grotbags, Carol as herself was a very sweet and nice lady. I was very young at the time, I was a bit anxious of her raucous voice at first. It made me take a step backwards. But she realised I was a little shy of her, softened her volume a little (Still loud!) and encouraged me to step closer and chat. A short while later she performed a Grotbags, alongside the Croc character. It's funny how you were able to both fear and adore her at the same time, nobody will ever play a better witch. Honestly, she was perfect in that role. Definitely a legend. What a star. Sadly missed, but very happy memories of growing up watching her on TV.
Sop jealous. I'd have loved to have met her. What a legend!
Hi. I worked alongside Carol, Grotbags on the Rod Hul Pink Windmill Show and 'Emus Wide World'. I played the character of 'CROC' from the early 80s to around about 1984. Carol was the nicest and funniest person i had the pleasure of workin along side with.
You may not have had the opportunity to meet Carol, but you did something very important for her: you made this beautiful tribute. Bless you both.
Thank you
This is great! Such a nice tribute to a lovely lady. Thank you 💚
And then you saw me lol the un ending chain of nostalgic events
I saw her live on stage in the Grotbags heyday. She was in a pantomime I saw as a child. She was superb, of course. Brilliant lady.
I would have loved to have seen her live
It’s great to see Carol Scott Lee and finding out more about her life. I always used to watch her on tv as a kid. Loved her as Grotbags! I still remember meeting her as a kid at Butlins. I first heard her voice and said to my mum it’s Grot bags, she didn’t believe me at first so we had a look and she was in her Butlins cabin practicing her lines for a show. She seemed such a lovely lady and didn’t mind me having a picture taken with her. I remember looking at her hair at the time and thinking it looked so different, I was used to seeing her with green hair!
Thank you for using my picture.
Great video, thank you for sharing 😊
I wish I'd met her! Thanks for letting me use the pic 🙂🙂
That’s okay 😊
This amazing I loved her and actually met her twice she lived in north wealdstone basset and I worked in north weald many years ago and I met her at the local shops she was lovely and I told her how much I loved her character!
She was the only reason I watched the Pink Windmill shows as a kid. Her laugh always cracked me up, along with her "This is a raid you dirty rat play it again sam".
She was brilliant :)
Beautiful tribute. ❤Thank you x
🌝I grew up in the village of Cannington a few miles from Spaxton in Somerset. I remember as a teenager going to amateur entertainment evenings put on by Spaxton village in which Carol would sing as one of the pantomime type items. A lovely voice. Although I am 82 I still retain these happy recollections and of other pretty Spaxton girls!
OMG this is the content I didn’t know I needed. I just ordered her albums to listen to!
Are you enjoying them?
I knew Carol. I backed her many times in the 70s/80s.She was lovely to work with.Nobody slept while she was on!!
I bet she was a right card
She was truly professional. Amazingly funny and a fantastic voice.I was very proud and pleased to have known her.
I do believe the last time I worked with her ,was in Epping in 1983.I think she didn't live too far from there.She was smiling all the time, from when she arrived at gigs,to when she was going home.I always looked forward to meeting up with her again.
I wish I could have met her.
she was unique.
Echoing all
The previous comments. Thank you for a great tribute to a legend. So many of us will always have a place in our bratty little hearts for her.

She made my childhood 😊
And me l only remember her from the gott bags the witch from my childhood tv
A great tribute. It was a shame I missed most of the TV series as I was coming home from work. My kids did love Grotbags though.
I absolutely loved it
Saw her as Grotbags at Butlins years ago, She was lovely
I don't think I ever saw her on stage sadly
@@TFOOS It was a small performance with us kids sitting on the floor in front of her
Grotbags n Sidekicks carried that show. Even as a kid I thought all the "goodies" were super lame, Rod n Emu included. The kids were all proper "nan" kids ( as in grandparents as substitutes for mums n dads ) and i wanted them all to lose every time to Grotbags, who was constantly awesome. She was brilliant and her and her feckless associates all that made Pink Windmill worth watching. Hooray for Carol Lee Scott who had an actual grasp on what it was to be an entertainer !
Lovely lady,...She messaged me on Myspace back in the day. My favourite was the show in the Pink WIndmill..always watched that as a kid. Kids tv just isnt as entertaining these days.
It's one of those shows where I forgot just how much I used to love it until I saw it again
@@TFOOS snap. I almost forgot about The Pink Windmill show, but I never forgot Grotbags. Her image and attitude has stayed with me all my life. Such a character. And such a great actress. Thanks for this lovely documentary. Bless you Carol. Thanks for the memories. You made a bigger impact that you know.
I loved Grotbags, I have fond memories of watching her on TV as a youth. I also saw her in Panto in Swansea in 1993 with another actor I liked Windsor Davis and met them both at the stage door, I was so starstruck. great tribute to her.
Thanks Jeff, I wish I'd got to see her live
Thank you, absolutely fantastic !!!
I adored Carol as Grotbags I loved the series she had with Colin and the other characters and Emus Pink Windmill Show. I loved her I thought she was funny
❤❤❤❤ she use to scare me has kid loved rod and emu 😂but is very sad that she not here anymore
Just been recommended your channel. I see why. Excellent man. Nice one
Thanks so much 👍👍👍
Just gotta say, I somehow stumbled upon your channel about a week or two ago and it's an absolute dream for someone like me. Wow, so much amazing content to get stuck into. Fantastic host and keep going. 👍
That was brilliant. Thank you. She was one of my favourites too.
Thanks very much for watching, I really enjoyed making this video 🙂
Aww I love this, such a sweet vid to make and lovely to hear! Thank you 🙏
Really detailed production and glad that I was able to supply one of my pictures of Carol from her cabaret days! She was a kind and funny lady. Well done.
Thanks very much for letting me use the picture👍
I have a feeling that when Carol mentions " anyone for Three in a Bed" on Bullseye that relates to that programme she was in!
Loved her
An excellent tribute, very well done. Although I have never heard of Carol Lee Scott or the character Grotbags. there was one thing that really caught my attention, "Gimme Dat Ding", I haven't heard that in a very long time. Thank You, Lee
Thanks Kenny - enjoyed making this one a lot
@@TFOOS I really enjoy learning about what others around the world watch on TV
Wow so many memories come flooding back when I watch your stuff, brilliant, great channel man
Thank you Jimmy - plenty more to come
Great piece and well researched
Scousebags lol 😆 bringing back your childhood fears whilst shopping at the primark
By FAR the best video I’ve ever seen on Carol Lee Scott, aka Grotbags.
Thorough research, well presented - Brilliant work, man.
Thanks vey much for checking the video out. It's one that I'm particularly proud of
Great tribute to a great lady - well done indeed!! :D
Thank you very much
dint known she done made music recordings in the 70s
@17:54 oh man I just had a major flashback, I'm pretty sure I saw her live as a young child, almost certain... I can remember the poster and everything... Thing is, before watching this video I had completely forgotten!🧙
Excellent video and tremendous research. Brings back many memories, well done.
New subscriber here. I gotta admire the effort and research you put into these vids. Makes for great viewing. Just watched the Dramarama one which was so good too, cheers!
Thanks so much for this - I am very proud of the Grotbags vid in particular. I do an in depth one like that about once a month. - Welcome to the channel
She was also in 70s titulation sex comedy films (or one at least) , can't remember which but those films like the amorous milkman, not now comrade, confessions , adventures of, no sex pls were British...etc.
Serious question: why do people demand we give a thumbs-up to a video at the start, before we've watched and decided to do so or not? It baffles me. This is a general thing across RUclips.
Great video.
Thanks 👍
I met Carol a good few times. She was absolutely lovely. There was also another act on the Pontins circuit 'Tony Weston'. Although they were on different nights they bounced off each other. Calling them Grandma and Grandad. We loved both of them. Does anyone know what happened to Tony?
I wish I'd met her but never got the chance. Thanks for commenting - your comment will be featured in the next episode of "Footnotes" on this channel - maybe someone out there will know more about Tony
She was a sassy lady. Grotbag's nephew was actually played by a Mr. Tony Blair.
one more for u box of delights BBC.
The one with the un-necessarily spooky theme tune?
greatsstuff.
Thanks for watching 👍
12:08 Nauseous mention
Such an amazing tribute.
btw the nephew was called Nauseous :-)
Well done Paul yes that's right. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Only Dusty Rhodes could have been a better Grotbags
We’re all her companions gay… lol they were all very camp 😂
Emu's world world was absolutely awful. Populated with "jazz hands" kids from stage school. Carol was it's only saving grace......well....apart from a badly behaved bird. lol
