'Rentaghost', 'Worzel' to return to TV
BBC children's favourite Rentaghost could be one of two classic programmes to return to British screens.

Wife Swap producer RDF has acquired the rights to the series, which starred Coronation Street stalwart Sue Nicholls, as well as ITV show Worzel Gummidge.

Although no new Rentaghost episodes have been made for nearly 25 years, RDF's Nigel Pickard remarked that there is a strong chance that the programme will return.

He said: "We feel there is real potential for these classic brands to be reworked for a modern day audience."

Rentaghost aired on the BBC for nine years from 1975.
