Actress Sheridan Smith has landed the lead role in the BBC's remake of Bewitched.
The 26-year-old, best known for playing Janet in Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, will star as Samantha in the re-imagining of the hit 1960s sitcom.
The US show followed the everyday life of a housewife witch (Elizabeth Montgomery), who cast spells with a twitch of her nose.
Nicole Kidman took on the role in a big-screen version of the programme in 2005.
The BBC is reportedly in talks to make a series if the pilot episode is a success.
