Trivia
Filmed at St Michaels College, Tenbury Wells. They apparently used most of the interior and the outside where the girls are practising broomstick flying was filmed in the cloisters.
Quotes
Miss Hardbroom:
Morning, Miss Cackle.
Miss Cackle, Agatha:
Good morning, Miss Hardbroom. Lovely morning.
Goofs
At times you can tell they are using a green screen effect for the flying that the cast does and Miss Spellbinder when she is conducting a flying class when the group have got their kittens and learning to fly. Also when Mildred has turned the bad witches into snails in the TV version of the film they had squeaky voices dubbed for the snails but in the film if you watch the same scene when Mildred, Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom are talking to the snails the squeaky voices are not there! Just silence.
