When you love a TV show, you simply cannot wait for it to return for a new series.

So spare a thought for those who became hooked on Mayfair Witches almost two years ago.

It's only now about to return for a second run, but there is a good excuse for its absence from our screens - its star, Alexandra Daddario, has been busy having a baby, something her alter-ego, neurosurgeon and spellcaster Rowan, scion of a great witch family, did at the end of the previous series. No doubt her real-life offspring is far calmer than her onscreen child, who is set to grow up superfast, having developed some extraordinary powers.
