Based on the Jill Murphy books for children. Follows adventures of Mildred Hubble at the Cackle's Academy. The first version was a 1986 TV movie starring Diana Rigg, Tim Curry and Charlotte Rae among others. Then a widely popular and known version that aired from 1998 to 2001 with Georgina Sherrington, Felicity Jones (yes, Ethel is an Oscar nominee now), brilliant Kate Duchene as Miss Constance Hardbroom, Una Stubbs as Miss Bat (in her pre-Sherlock days), Claire Porter as Miss Drill, Clare Coulter as Miss Cackle.

Reviews for "The Dark Path of Daina Rigg: A Journey Through the World of Worsg Witchery"
1. Mark - 1/5
I found "Daina rigg worse witch" to be extremely disappointing. The plot was very weak and predictable, and the characters were poorly developed. The writing style was uninteresting and lacked any sort of creativity. Additionally, there were numerous grammatical errors throughout the book, which made it difficult to read. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a well-written and engaging story.
2. Emily - 2/5
"Daina rigg worse witch" did not live up to my expectations. The story had potential, but it felt rushed and lacked depth. The main character, Daina, was not relatable and her actions were often unrealistic. The dialogue in the book was also quite weak, with stiff and unnatural conversations between the characters. While the concept of a witch with a dark side was interesting, the execution fell short, leaving me feeling unsatisfied. I would advise readers to seek out other witch-themed books that are more captivating and well-crafted.
3. Jake - 2/5
I was not impressed with "Daina rigg worse witch." The overall writing style was underwhelming and failed to engage me as a reader. The plot was predictable and lacked any real surprises or twists. Additionally, the characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult to care about their fates. The book could have benefited from better pacing and character development, as well as a stronger emphasis on world-building. Unfortunately, I found myself struggling to finish this book and would not recommend it to others.
