It was the kids' TV catchphrase copied by millions of children in the 1980s, as they excitedly chanted it whenever someone knocked as they came to visit. "There's somebody at the door! There's somebody at the door!" And with it came a larger-than-life green witch, a strange pink windmill full of children and the infamous TV puppet-and-master duo, Rod Hull and Emu.The TV show the catchphrase came from is ITV's Emu's World, while the strange green witch in the cape who we loved to hate is Grotbags – played by actress by Carol Lee Scott. She lived in a castle, Gloomy Fortress, and haplessly tried to use her powers to control the children, also keeping a servant called Croc in line by hitting him with her bazazzer, an umbrella-shaped stick with a pointing finger on the end.
