The premise
Here’s the bit.
On The Middle Ages (Witch)Craft Show, a cheerful presenter lists the grisly ingredients needed to curse an enemy and introduces his guest Marcia, who tormented him at school. He produces a ready-made figure of her and drives a needle into its leg and then its heart, but Marcia feels nothing. Admitting that witchcraft is complete nonsense, he reveals the trick he actually used: he hid a witch's charm in her cupboard and tipped off the Witchfinder General, who promptly arrives with an armoured guard, produces the planted evidence and hauls the protesting Marcia off to be burned, with the host asking for one last bit of payback first.

Here's one I made earlier.
Of course it doesn't. That's because all witchcraft is absolute nonsense.
Can you stick her head down the toilet first?
A little extra
Notes from the archive.
The sketch belongs to Wicked Witches, a one-off era segment in the third episode of the first series that also contained Witchfinder's Direct and a Frog Prince Twisted Fairytale.
The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
