Well let me give a brief introduction...
The
"T-Bag" series was a product of Thames Television (now
part of Pearson Television) and ran from the early Eighties to the
early Nineties. It was written by Lee Pressman and Grant Cathro
(writers of Americanised burger sitcom "Spatz", "Mike
and Angelo" and various episodes of "The Tomorrow People").
The basic storyline in each series was that a power-crazed witch
(T-Bag) had taken up residence inside some object in a junk shop
belonging to a boy (Thomas) and his Grandad. She would oust whoever
else was living in the object and create a T-Room for herself. T-Bag
would then make her presence known by kidnapping Thomas (who was
thenceforth known as T-Shirt) and forcing him to be her servant
(or T-Caddy) to keep her magical powers strong by making endless
cups of tea from the leaves of her evil T-Plant.
Into
the picture comes a sweet, innocent young girl who then happens
across the object in the shop and meets the character that has been
usurped by T-Bag. Invariably, that character knows how to banish
T-Bag (always involving a number of mystical artefacts that T Bag
has stolen and scattered about the place so as to avoid banishment).
The young girl then has to go and collect them all back up again
and restore them to their rightful place.
There
are some variations to this story, but the outcome is almost always
that T-Bag is destroyed in the end. That's the intro, now click

By
the way, if you are interested in children's television nostalgia,
then please visit the
TV Lounge, to whom I am very grateful for providing a link to
this site.
One last word before you go on - I have produced all of the images
and the content of this site myself and have spent many long hours
doing it, so if anyone out there is thinking of producing another
T-Bag Web page, please could you email me and ask if you wish to
use any images, sounds, etc. before you use them? If you do, then
I can supply a link to your site here, also!
