Georgina Hale - T-Bag tribute
It is with such great sadness that we have received the news that Georgina Hale has passed away at the age of 80.
Georgina played Tabatha Bag during 42 episodes of T-Bag between 1990 and 1992. Georgina Hale as T-Bag was a truly magical and wonderful part of my and many others childhoods. This tribute video shows just a few scenes from T-Bag that have made me smile today in spite of the sad news of her passing.
Thanks for the memories, the entertainment, the magic, the fun, the laughs and most of all thanks for bringing joy and happiness into millions of children's lives across the world. May you rest in peace as you live on in our hearts and minds.
T-Bag aired on Children's ITV in the UK between 1985 and 1993. To find out more about the programme check out The High-T Website: http://...

T. Bag and the Pearls of Wisdom S6E1 (1990) - FULL EPISODE
Any Old Port. Captain Cockle has been kicked out of his lighthouse by a mysterious stranger with an odd fixation on his very unusual plant. Just who is this Tabatha, and could she possibly be related to Tallulah? And what's with the dusty old board game in the curiosity shop? This series curtain-raiser was first broadcast on Tuesday, 2nd January, 1990.
Even the least observant of viewers will have noticed that we have a new T-Bag on our hands, so before we go any further, let's sort out the timeline for the change.

Any Old Port. Captain Cockle has been kicked out of his lighthouse by a mysterious stranger with an odd fixation on his very unusual plant. Just who is this Tabatha, and could she possibly be related to Tallulah? And what's with the dusty old board game in the curiosity shop? This series curtain-raiser was first broadcast on Tuesday, 2nd January, 1990.
Even the least observant of viewers will have noticed that we have a new T-Bag on our hands, so before we go any further, let's sort out the timeline for the change. By all accounts, shooting wrapped for series five in the autumn of 1988, and there was talk at the time of Elizabeth Estensen moving on - but nothing concrete. This uncertainty continued into the beginning of 1989 (when the aforementioned was broadcast), and was still in place while the 1989 Christmas special was being written that May. Series six was commissioned in June, and work had to begin on that, too, without the writers knowing who their lead actress was. By the end of the month, shooting began on T. Bag's Christmas Carol, and it was at this point that Elizabeth sadly confirmed her decision that it was to be her last outing on the show. And, so, writing continued on series six and the choice was made at this point to create the brand new character of Tabatha - all still without knowing who would be playing her. Finally, though, everyone was put out of their misery in mid-July as executive producer Alan Horrox informed the production team that Georgina Hale had been cast, to everyone's delight and relief. Just over two weeks later, the first read-through for Pearls of Wisdom took place, and barely a week on from Elizabeth's final special being broadcast on Boxing Day, Georgina's debut (i.e. this) was aired.
Given all of the above, I think it's a real blessing that Kellie Bright returned for this series. I'll stop short of saying it saved the show or anything, but if not for Sally Simpkins, then John Hasler would have been the one and only common thread from the previous years (on screen, anyway). A new girl on a quest at this point might well have been one too many changes at once, and possibly would have made it a lot harder to accept it as the same programme. That said, I'm glad beyond measure that they created Tabatha rather than re-casting Tallulah - that would have been a disaster, no matter who they'd got in!
Anyway, I like the fact that Sally and Thomas are now friends in the real world, which I suppose makes perfect sense following on from Revenge of the T. Set (which is nicely referenced, incidentally). Unlike the previous series, the board game setting gives a perfect excuse for the trademark cardboard cut-out sets we all know and love. Also new are the fact that we're treated to a preview of what's to come next week at the end complete with dramatic voice-over, and the colours. By which I mean, there's something technically different with the colour of this series, isn't there? I just can't quite put my finger on what, but *something* is different about the look of the show. Or did it even begin with series five? Or is it all my imagination? Anyone?
Keep an eye out for some continuity presented by Jeanne Downs and Scally at the beginning and end, plus an ad break that I've left in to give you that full retro feel. Don't miss Anthony Head playing the smoothie.
Many thanks to Grant for providing this recording.
