As promised for Mildred, Luella visits CBBC every Wednesday to see how her friend is getting along. That Wednesday, the episode of The Worst Witch, 'Tabby', aired.
When Luella visits Mildred, she is glad to check out her broomstick, which she flies on. The two decide to take it out for a test run, but Mildred has dark, suppressed memories of when she and Maud were flying all the way to Cackles' and Maud had lost her glasses. Luella assures her not to worry, as Maud was given new glasses because of Mrs Hardbroom's magic anyway, so the two take the broom outside for a flight.
Take off! It goes pretty well, and soon the two witches are sent flying over town. They even take someone's phone when he or she isn't looking and take a selfie! Suddenly, it all goes out of control and the two are flying higher and higher up into the sky. "HOLD ON, MILDRED!" calls Luella, and the broomstick speeds too fast, sending the girls flying up into space and hanging from the moon, reminding readers of when Kipper did that in 'The Umbrella'. "Now look what you've done," growls Mildred, "It was your fault you wanted to make the broomstick go higher in the first place!" "It's not my fault," murmurs Luella, "It was the broomstick who wanted to do this, in fact it does have a mind of its own." "Oh yeah," says Mildred, "You're right."
They soon lose their grip and realize they're about to fall off the moon! "I don't like Now You See It!" cries Mildred quickly before the two witches fall. Luckily, Luella lands on a large cloud, while beneath Mildred is hanging from a cloud rope ladder. "Are you sure about this?" worries Mildred, "I don't think I can hold on much longer!" "You can," says a chilled out Luella, "Just think about Scream Street and everything will be okay." While Luella is relaxed, Mildred is quite panicked by what's down below....until the broomstick arrives. Mildred slowly tries to reach out for it....BUT FALLS! Luella leaps onto the broomstick and shoots down after Mildred, letting her land on the broomstick. Mildred thanks Luella for saving her, and Luella must admit she feels very proud of herself for doing such a thing.
Suddenly, they crash through the roof of CBBC and land in the Worst Witch room, before that they drop the phone on a park bench and the stranger comes to pick it up, not knowing two witches have used it to take a selfie.
During 'Tabby''s first screening on CBBC, Luella is curious to know why there is a picture of a flamingo in the academy library, and why Mrs Cackle and Mrs Hardbroom always have afternoon tea at random intervals. Thankfully, Mildred has the answers. They even laugh at the scene where the witches fall practicing their broomstick flying. During another part of the episode, Luella is curious to know why they didn't show the teachers' knickers when they showed them being blown back by Maud's broomstick flying techniques. Mildred replies that it's for 'parental reasons' as showing a lady's knickers on TV isn't suitable for children, or witches. "I bet you must be really proud of yourself for being a trainee witch, like me," smiles Luella. "I bet I don't look embarrassed with my hair down every night," laughs Mildred. Well, what gets Luella laughing loudly is the bodyswap scene between Mildred and Maud, which almost totally embarrasses Mildred and leaves her begging to go to the loo for...reasons.
This is what happens when you put two worthless witches on a broomstick and make them fly all the way to the moon, as it was secretly demonstrated in 2017....
