[deuvs123]

1981. a world shortage of fuel back then? so where are we now?

[11conorh]

when was this made

[LilWayneTheBestMC]

ACIDDDDDD

[xJezika]

Fuck i'm so high

[MickeyLove01]

kenneth Williams best voice work

[johnyrottern]

I Agree a adore button is a great idea I miss keneth wiliams he was the best...

[youngstali]

Those are some cankles!

[yadda101]

The narrator looks like he has a permanent trollface

[MsCread]

Ah I loved watching this when I was a child, what a blast from the past!

[jvsm1971]

I miss these so much... tv should do re-runs... i think my kiddies would enjoy them.

[CinnabonChan]

I would have liked the ending better if Mavis just told him to shut up.

[saltea1]

Why can't we have an "adore" button for sections like this on You Tube?!?!?! That would be far more appropriate. I LOVE Willow the Wisp & think it should make a huge comeback along with The Magic Roundabout.  Should we start a petition?!

[MikeHummyButthole]

lol @ 2:47

[UltimateThanos]

What the fuck did I just watch?

[Urielthemagicalcrab]

I am not common, and I am not a lizard. I'm welsh.

[weldonwin]

Wow... this is the first time I've watched this in about 20 years and... MAN do I realise how messed up kids TV was back then? I mean, how many other kids cartoons can you name that feature evil TVs and jokes about petrol shortages?

[duffy1977]

Great video, takes me back.I used to be $h!t scared of Evil Edna!!!

[ElizabethR1558]

I used to love Evil Edna!

[dcdc44]

Fantastic !!

[kanjok3]

dragons arnt real? look whos talking!..... I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS 0_0

[YungReg88]

Will O' The Wisp sounds like Bruce from Family Guy.

[SonicCrakpot]

@YungReg88 ......did you just compare that horseshit to this classic, shame on you.

[Buffythekriptonian19]

Kenneth <3

Oh how evil Edna gave me nightmares.

[baldcat59]

God bless Kenneth.

[cr0uchingtiger]

WTF, world shortage of fuel? this cartoon was way ahead of its time!

[nickviking1]

kenneth williams is brilliant. nuff said....

[GottaLoveWebkinzlid]

oh my gosj xD i rmbr this

[bobo5073]

love love love bring back the good tv

[erracht]

As a kid, this show was one I watched when there was nothing else left to watch. Now as a crotchety 30-year-old geezer, I seem to be finding it a spot more entertaining.

[CrazyAlvis]

@erracht

You too, huh?

[madabbafan]

love Ken Williams. Far better than the terrible remake

[BitingMADZAC]

nice but a bitch to kill on oblivion

[kateygirl21]

This was my favourite show as a kid, this sesame street and jackanory! Ahhhh memory lane :)

[paudge2u]

This show used to scare me, i think it was the evil TV set. It's fabulous... "There is a world shortage of fuel..." haha!

[h8thatcherluvblair]

Edna used to terrify me as well. When I was a wee bit older, my sister used to threaten to set Gripper Stebson on me. B?itch.

[ENGLANDTHEGREATEST]

i watched this whilst on acid, it was fucking mental.

[NeuroParadise]

wow memories!

[stufa1978]

You noticed that Mavis and Auther sound like Olive and Auther from 'On the Buses'?

[CodfishCatfish]

@stufa1978 Anna Karen is her name.

But the original voices were James Dreyfus (2005) and Kenneth Williams.(the original 1981)

[playgirlc]

lol, i never noticed that before, but they do!

[troylockhart05]

@stufa1978 ooooooooooooo yerrrrrrrrrrr!!! haha :D

[wenglishsal]

@stufa1978 ... Hee hee, yes they do sound like Olive and Arthur.. And Carwash sounds like Noel Coward too... Clever ol' Kenny Williams :0)x

[LeeLadealer]

good times!!! arthur and evil edna were my favs id never miss one as soon as i got back from school!!

[LegalAlien100]

You know I never realised this at the time of course but this is just so Pagan!! "Willo the Wisp"?!!! Just Google it!

Also, isn't it so environmentally ahead if its time with all of the 'you shouldn't be guzzling petrol' thing...Spooky! I love it! Thanks for posting- a right trip down memory lane! X

[tripledonkey]

not so much environmentally, it was the fuel "crisis" of the day, the very same that caused 6 litre V8 cars to go out of fashion at that time

[CodfishCatfish]

@tripledonkey That was the OPEC v USA over oil and the re-armament of guns to Israel (the yom kippur war). Lasted from Oct 1973 to March 1974. Probably not significant as we still paid 1/2 pennies for petrol dividends at the time.

[78rikkers]

Evil Edna used to terrify me

[kellyfella]

wow this makes me feel old, used to love it, trips down memory lane are the best!!!

[Cortanaxx9]

Evil Edna makes me laugh so much!

[tripledonkey]

she scared me as a child

[Cortanaxx9]

I ain't surprised. she wud give people night mares, she's so ugly. she's funi though! XD

[Ponylovere]

I love this! Anyone notice the dragons hair change colour at 2:51?

[berner]

The dragon's voice sounds like Dr. Von Goosewing from Count Duckula

[Jez32uk]

no it doesn't it sounds welsh cos its a dragon

[suestipestalker]

I think this is probably the best cartoon ever, I used to rush home from work for this :)

[Katiegasosa]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I loved it ...

[Frostybeek]

When I was a child I told my sister that she looked like Mavis "the fat" Fairy when she wore a particular winter coat. She threw such a tantrum one day that she wouldn't go to school. My Grandmother had to call my mother at work because the tantrum got so bad. I couldn't stop laughing; I'll burn in hell for that one.

[womblefree]

when i was at junior school i used to call this other kid the milky bar kid, but he would'nt have it and refused to talk to me after a while, i thought it was a compliment.

[ramona7609]

@Frostybeek naw. You were giving her character. You will be rewarded!!

[phillydisco]

This show is even funnier now. I think the jokes were done to appeal to even older audiences. I think you can still buy the episodes on DVD. It came out a few years ago.

[Ponylovere]

My friend watches Willo all the time, as she's six, and as she's away at the moment, I've decided to watch it everyday to remind me of her whilst she's gone. And I actually really like it! It's funny!

[cz639]

I used to watch this when I was 5 years old. The narrater spooked me out as did the TV, but it was fascinating. Love this cartoon.

[womblefree]

This used to be one of my favorite childrens shows even though i was in my teens and 20s when it was on, made me laugh, evil edna = margret thatcher.

[FILMMAKERCHAP]

damn this was before unleaded too

[HyperKenji]

yeah, that poor dragon could have gotten mouth cancer D:

[LeeLadealer]

i like the dragons welsh accent lol

[DobbyJunior]

lol! This is the first time I've ever seen this. Strange but interesting. :)

[lagathy]

this cartoon used to disturb me as a kid...but its gr8 to take a trip down memory lane..

[dozzpollen]

omg, same here, I used to be sh** scared of this! but like you said, it brings back some good memories.

[Elementa2006]

Kenneth Williams had a perfect Narrator's voice, I'm a big fan of the Carry On movies (as matter of fact I'm already watching Carry On Screaming, one of his best performances) and he is wonderful as Willow the Wisp.

[Bez1960]

Kenneth Williams was an amazingly intelligent and talented man...but he was also deeply disturbed, a man at war with himself. Carry on Screaming, Up the Khyber & Cleo are the Carry On team at the height of their powers and success...Williams and Charles Hawtrey were superb together, and Joan Sims & Hattie Jacques too...

[wenglishsal]

I agree with 'blackpudscoffer' Williams at his best and he did ALL the voices too :)))

[Uzhorod]

a little dragon :o)))))))))))))

[womblefree]

The pirates have nicked the petrol thats why he'd run out of fuel.

still at least thats good for global warming but evil edna messes it up again.

[SpikeXtreme]

pure magic! i remember watching these, the youngsters today don't know what they missed.

[ZyniPhoenix]

how glad they can be ;)

[GregTheLion]

Ya know on this cartoon, you'd hardly notice it was kenneth williams doing all those voices.

[SilverRanger92]

do u have the halloween episode?

[domothemetalgod]

Oh what a stunner.Bring it back!

[baconsandwich2007]

Blimey O'Reiley! 4 star!!! I wonder how much a litre it was back then?? Always loved this show.

[southamptongayguy]

Great! i just love evil edna

[blackpudscoffer]

This is Kenneth Williams at his best! I never cared for the "Carry On" films but this is so different, his talent truely shines through In "Will O The Wisp".

[chippermonkey22]

kenneth williams rocks!!!

[emomanxxx]

I used to watch this, my nan bpught it for me at a car boot sale in the 90s

I was retro before the 80s were cool!

[vfrl4fma]

My sister and I loved this when we were teenagers.  Now in our forties with teenagers of my own, my kids dont get it!

[astrotrain21]

Thanks for that. I haven't seen that show for nearly twenty years, since I left England at 8 in '89.
