1–2 "Selection Day" Brian Grant Emma Reeves 11 January 2017 (2017-01-11) 465,000
Maud Spellbody crashes into Mildred Hubble's flat on her way to Cackle's Academy, where it's Selection Day. Ethel Hallow makes a good first impression on the teachers. Mildred helps Maud, whose glasses were broken in the crash, get to school, but they both crash-land in the pond. They tell Miss Hardbroom that Mildred was supposed to attend Pentangle's, but decided that Cackle's is better. Esmerelda Hallow, Ethel's older sister, gives the students a tour and Miss Cackle helps Mildred cope with the effects of a transfer spell. Mildred and Maud sneak off to look at the kittens and Ethel eavesdrops on them discussing how Mildred is not from a magical family. They lose a kitten, but find it in the kitchens. Mildred struggles with the written exam, but Miss Cackle encourages her to do what she is good at, but she only manages to get 1%. Miss Cackle's twin sister, Agatha, turns up, and Miss Cackle gives her permission to speak to Miss Hardbroom for an internet article. The students make their potions and Mildred successfully manages to levitate, after taking some of Ethel's pondweed from her dragon potion (due to Ethel having taken all of it), making Ethel wrongly turn into a worm.
Mildred owns up and when Ethel reveals that Mildred is from a non-magic family, she automatically fails. After thinking she's confided in Miss Cackle, Mildred finds out it was really Agatha, after which she witnesses her putting a spell on the celebratory meal. When Mildred tries to warn the staff, she is magicked outside the school grounds. With the help of a magic frog, she levitates herself back into the school, where she manages to prevent Miss Cackle eating the soup, announcing Agatha has put a spell on it. Agatha invokes a section of the Witch's Code and she and Miss Cackle have a magical duel. Agatha wins and turns Miss Cackle into a snail. After Miss Hardbroom pointedly drops hints in Mildred's direction about how students or staff are bound by the witch's code and can do nothing about Agatha now being in charge, Mildred prompts the cat to knock the soup with Agatha's spell – which was a total obedience spell – over Agatha and then orders her to turn Miss Cackle back to normal. Agatha's powers are then confiscated. At the end, Mildred's mother Julie is magicked into the school and, after talking it over with Mildred, she allows her to stay at Cackle's Academy.

In Art, the second years draw and then magic family trees and Mildred's side only includes her maternal family as she does not know her father, which leads Mildred into thinking of him. In assembly, Miss Drill announces an upcoming sports day, starting with the second years and Maud is determined not to take part due to previous sports days at her old school. Ethel agrees not to tell on Mildred, Maud and Enid when they use unauthorised magic to try and figure out who Mildred's father is and upon returning to see her tree, she is shocked to see Algernon on the tree and believes he is her grandfather. Mildred backs out of asking him whether they are related, but he helps her prepare for sports day. Maud takes a potion to make her look ill in order to get out of sports day, however, she turns purple after taking too much. When Miss Drill finds out about Maud pretending to be sick, she shares her humiliating sports experiences from when she was young and Mildred is left devastated when ALgernon tells Mildred that he cannot be her grandfather as he has no children and that Ethel put Algernon on her tree. Mildred takes Maud's place in the fly high using a magic pole, resulting in her ending up in a pond and Algernon magics Mildred to the Art room, where her mum is. Julie describes Mildred's dad, who was a trainee plumber named Dave and his characteristics, though Mildred decides she does not want to find him. Maud is delighted when she does not come in last place for hurdling and Mildred is happy with the family she has, which includes Maud and Enid.

Sybil goes into Ethel's room and is scared to be trapped in and Esmerelda is annoyed that Ethel's kindness towards her is to gain their mum's approval.

"All Hallow's Eve" / "The Big Freeze" Delyth Thomas Neil Jones 26 March 2018 (2018-03-26) N/A
Esmerelda attempts to give the powers back to the stone and Miss Cackle allows the pupils to play magical tricks on the staff without fear. Esmerelda and Sybil recall a bedtime story from when they were younger about one of their ancestors reigniting the stone, so using the Hallow family tree, Mildred asks for the Hallow responsible for that to come forward and tell them what to do, but they fly away. Miss Hardbroom struggles to get Miss Mould's references from the school she use to teach at and Mildred, Maud, Enid and Ethel try to get the answers out the Hallow ancestors and Clarice and Beatrice are convinced the magic in the school has gone haywire and Esmerelda and Sybil are forced to admit that Esmerelda has got her magic back. When Miss Drill notices the school is freezing, Miss Cackle evacuates the school, but she, Miss Hardbroom, Maud, Enid and Felicity are trapped in the potions lab. Mildred returns to the family trees to get answers from the Hallow and the witch Mildred has been looking for emerges, who turns out to be Mildred's ancestor, Mirabelle Hubble and Mildred is delighted that she is from a witching family. Mirabelle explains that she had to sacrifice her magic as well as 12 descendants and Mildred is her 13th descendant, the first magical Hubble for centuries. Whilst Mildred's mum is in the park, she is told by her miniature self to go to Cackles. In the potion's lab, Felicity is suspended in a block, so Miss Cackle, Maud and Enid give the rest of their magic to Miss Hardbroom to help Mildred, putting them into suspended blocks.. Mildred is unhappy about leaving the school, but Miss Mould tells her about a coven Mildred could go to, where she could be individual and creative. When Miss Hardbroom gets outside, it turns out that the founding stone is still in the school and the coven Miss Mould knows off is run by Agatha. Mildred praises Miss Mould as a teacher before she is frozen herself. Ethel decides to sacrifice her magic to the stone, but when she makes a speech, Miss Hardbroom, Esmerelda and Sybil are put into suspended blocks and then she is. Miss Hubble arrives at the school and gets Mildred out of her block; Mildred explains to her mum about their ancestor. Mildred decides to sacrifice her powers to the stone, but although she starts the process, Miss Mould completes the ritual in her place. The school later celebrates Halloween.
Production and casting[edit]
In November 2014, it was announced that a new series of The Worst Witch was in development with the BBC.[15] The cast of the show was announced in October 2016.[16] Game of Thrones actress Bella Ramsey was cast as Mildred and said filming the series "was really good", but there were some challenging elements and described learning the stunts as "hard."[17] Ramsey drew similarities between herself and Mildred.[17] Meibh Campbell played the role of Maud Spellbody for series 1, but was replaced by Megan Hughes from series 2.[18] Of her casting, Hughes said working on the show is "great and I [Hughes] love the experience" and that she is "so grateful for the opportunity." Hughes had two auditions before being offered the part of Maud.[18] Hughes' mother, Claire, added that Hughes has an "amazing time" and is "really happy, really positive" throughout filming.[18] Tamara Smart gained the part of Enid Nightshade after four months of auditioning, which she described as "very long" yet "nerve racking but at the same time very exciting." Smart was excited about the "amazing experience" when she got the part.[19] Jenny Richardson and Miriam Petche were cast as sisters Ethel and Esmerelda Hallow.[20][21] Tallulah Milligan, the daughter of Coronation Street and Waterloo Road actress Angela Griffin, was cast as Drusilla Paddock. Griffin said Milligan "absolutely loves" working on the show.[22] Dagny Rollins plays the role of Felicity Foxglove.[23]
The Worst Witch is filmed at Peckforton Castle, Peckforton Cheshire, England and Burg Hohenzollern, Swabian Alps, Germany.[24] The second series is also filmed at Adlington Hall, Adlington, Cheshire, using their grand hall, minstrel's gallery and their countryside and woods backdrop.[25]
