    Magic Mushroom Freddie

    Jimmy is running from the witch and falls into the patch of the evil mushrooms and Freddie is turned into one of them.

    A funny episode and one of best musical moments. Puf and Jimmy bring Freddie to Dr Blinkey. The doctor's talking book says that his evil brother (the black book of the family) is in the witch's castle and has the anti mushroom spell. The candle (sounding a bit like Humphrey Bogart) offers to go with Jimmy to the castle. The best scene has Jack Wild back in his Artful Dodger costume from "Oliver" pretending to be a beggar to get into the castle. He sings a song "The Moment That I Saw Your Face" which musically sounds a bit like "Consider Yourself" from "Oliver".They get the page for the spell and escape.
