Lizzie Dripping (released in its second year under the title Lizzie Dripping Again) is a British television children's programme produced by the BBC in 1973 and 1974 (the second series was broadcast in 1975). It was written by Helen Cresswell and set in the country village of Little Hemlock, where a young girl, Penelope, with a vivid imagination (played by future Blue Peter presenter Tina Heath) encounters a local witch (Sonia Dresdel) whom only she can see and hear. This ability is further complicated by Penelope having a reputation for being an imaginative liar, making it even more difficult for her to convince others that her witch is real.
