There’s nothing airyfairy about this lot...

There are countless series about wizards and witches and vampires, but fairies have been underrepresented in TV drama. Now here comes a new show from the Vampire Diaries writer and producer Brian Young to redress the balance. Inspired by a popular animation series, this is about fire fairy Bloom (Abigail Cowen, left) who attends Alfea, a school where fairies learn how to hone their natural powers. So, think Harry Potter or Fort Salem – but for fairies who here are powerful supernatural beings rather than, wandwaving wish-granters. From Friday
