Her name was Grotbags from Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show. It was an anarchic British television Children's ITV series of the 1980s featuring star Rod Hull and his demented puppet, Emu.
The premise of the show was simple: each week a green witch Grotbags (played by the singer and comedienne Carol Lee Scott) threatened and tried to steal Hull's aggressive arm length puppett Emu so that once captured (in Carol Lee Scott's own words) she would be able to use its "special powers" to control all the "brats" in the world. The format, which also featured viewer phone-ins, as well as a segment in Grotbags' grotto where selected members of the audience were offered the chance to win prizes and lots of singing and dancing, achieved enormous popularity during its early years and is probably now most fondly remembered for Rod Hull's catchphrase "There's somebody at the door, there's somebody at the door" every time a visitor knocked at the Pink Windmill's entrance. The series first aired in 1983 and was televised live having replaced Hull's (by that time) defunct Emu's world series. A second series which followed in 1984 was also broadcast live. Thereafter, the series was pre-recorded until eventually being cancelled in 1989 and aired simply as Emu's Pink Windmill Show.

Just in case you don't mean Grotbags, there's always the greatest green faced witch of all time - Fenalla the Welsh Witch (lived in a kettle BTW, as one does) from Chorlton and the Wheelies - pure TV
GOLD, let me tell you!

Her name was Grotbags and I'm sure she was in a program with Rod Hud and Emu called The Pink Windmill and whenever somebody rang the bell they would sing 'There's somebody at the door, there's somebody at the door.' I remember watching it when I got home from school.

Yeah it could well be Ducktales, or it could even just be be Donald Duck but was that as recent as the late 80s/early 90s?
