There is one cartoon I watched in the early 80s that I cannot find anywhere, and I don't know the name of it either. It was a cartoon about a witch, i think it was a series, i seem to recall that her broomstick may have had a face on it. It wasn't Winnie the winsome witch, I know that. Anyone got any ideas what this was?
Im not actually sure of the name of this one, but it was about a town of worms (called Wormingham), where one of the worms was ostracised at christmas. it was always on BBC at christmas.

Oxtails, with Gaylord the Ox
Hekyl and Jekyl
Once upon a time... life
Creepy crawlers (stop motion about insects)
That was a sequel to another series called Once Upon A Time... Man, both of which were shown in ITV on Sunday mornings.
1972-1974 and an absolute classic rarity now. AFAIK it's never been repeated on UK television, also possibly not repeated in the US now too and when you watch the content it's easy to see why!
The main 'character' was Ralph, the barmy neighbour who heads his own vigilante patrol to protect the neighbourhood from 'invaders' and 'subversives'! That covers anyone with a foreign sounding name, dark skin, or has long hair!
I got fed up of waiting for it to be re-run here so bought a boxed DVD set from the US.
Comments

I remember this well. Early/mid seventies?
In some ways it was like an earlier version of The Simpsons.

Frightening Frankie, Dangerous Drac and Weirdo Wolfie.
Thank you, yes it was excellent, I had all the toys.
Not forgetting the legendary Chris Latta, who was also one of the bad guys in Visionaries.
He was also Starscream (Transformers) and Cobra Commander (GI Joe).

Don't forget Stop the Pigeon, too.
Actually called Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines, IIRC.
Not forgetting his sidekick Morocco Mole who sounded like Peter Lorre
edit - Just read there were 78 episodes, so not sure how many were shown here

The Jackson 5ive cartoon.
I think they were both shown on Saturday mornings and as an Osmonds fan I enjoyed watching their cartoon.

Another much earlier gem was the Jetsons from 1962-1963.
