The 1960s fantasy sitcom Bewitched was the story of a mixed marriage with a twist: the union of a mortal and a witch. It proved a winning formula – 254 episodes over eight series aired between 1964 and 1972.
Samantha Stephens was everybody’s favourite witch well before Sabrina Spellman was a twinkle in Lucifer Morningstar’s eye. From the cheerful opening theme tune to the clever Hanna-Barbera animation of Samantha flying on her broomstick, the first five seasons of Bewitched got everything exactly right.
