Switch

Switch should add magic to writer Tim Price's career

If you had the power to cast a spell, what would it be? Maybe, a love spell on the elusive man of your dreams, or the memory spell to make your boss a little more relaxed, or a spell to give you more confidence. If you tune into ITV2 tomorrow night, a new series from the pen of Welsh writer Tim Price, sees the characters doing all of that.

Sweet new drama about four girls in Camden who happen to be witches. Sentimental rather than sassy, it is charmingly acted by the four leads - Lacey Turner, who plays put-upon career girl Stella, Nina Toussaint-White as fashion-loving Jude, Phoebe Fox as sensible Grace and Hannah Tointon as the free-spirited traveller Hannah. Witch apps and texts mean this is a very modern take on an old theme, but it needs more bite and the Camden sisterhood should use their powers for something more exciting than casting a spell on a nightmare boss.

Switch interview: Lacey Turner

On the day SFX visits the set, the four leads are spending the day shooting a scene which involves bringing a dead cat back to life. This is, shall we say, problematical for Lacey Turner, who plays Stella.

Switch Interview: Nina Toussaint-White

Each of the four witches in Switch represents an element, and Nina Toussaint-White (whom you may remember from her role as Mels - aka the young River Song - in Doctor Who's "Let's Kill Hitler£, or Syd Chambers - Bradley's love interest - in EastEnders), plays Jude, who is the fiery one of the group.

Switch interview: Caroline Quentin

Caroline Quentin features in a couple of episodes of Switch as the hippy mother of one of the witches, who is a bit handy with magic herself. We spoke to her on-set earlier in the year.
