Hit 1960s American show Bewitched is being reinvented for a British audience for the BBC, according to reports.

The sitcom followed the everyday life of housewife witch Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery), who cast spells with a twitch of her nose.

Bewitched made a comeback when Australian actress Nicole Kidman played the lead part in a movie version in 2005.

A pilot episode has been made and the BBC is in talks to introduce a whole series, which it hopes will be a ratings hit.
