This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.222.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Switch''''' is a British supernatural [[comedy-drama]] centring a quartet of witches  known as "The Witches of Camden" who try to make their way in [[London]]. Created by Touchpaper Television for [[ITV2]], the show stars [[Lacey Turner]], [[Nina Toussaint-White]], [[Hannah Tointon]] and [[Phoebe Fox]]. Its six-episode run began on 15 October 2012 at 10pm.

==Plot==
''Switch'' is an upbeat comedy drama about four young witches trying to make their way in the big city where they live in [[London Borough of Camden|Camden]], [[North London]]. They want to live a modern life, not one based on their mother's old-fashioned rituals. But modern life presents serious problems, and the girls cannot help casting the occasional spell to try to sort things out.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.whatsontv.co.uk/soaps/eastenders/news/lacey-turner-to-play-a-witch-in-itv-drama/15935|title=Lacey Turner to play a witch in ITV drama|publisher=What's on TV|date=30 March 2012))</ref>

==Cast==
The main cast are made up of four fun loving flatmates in [[London Borough of Camden|Camden]], [[North London]]. Each of the witches represents an [[Four elements|element]] that handily provides a summarisation of their character.<ref name="WhatisITV2'sSwitch?"/>

===Main===
[[File:Switchedcast.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The main cast from left: Stella, Jude, Grace and Hannah.]]
*Stella Munroe ([[Lacey Turner]]) is business savvy careerist, she's the mum of the bunch. Always immaculately dressed, Stella's the grown-up who goes out to work and pays all the bills, but her willingness to please can often see her getting into tricky situations. But despite the odd panic whenever things get out of control, it's Stella who's there to look after the other girls (and tidy the flat after them). Stella represents the element, [[Earth]].
*Jude Thomas ([[Nina Toussaint-White]]) is a 'bolshie' wannabe fashion designer and is the fiery one of the group. Jude is incredibly driven and when she sees something she wants she is going to get it, no matter the cost. With an eye for the boys and a finger on the pulse of the party scene, stylish and sexy Jude is never far away from having a good time. Jude represents the element, [[Fire]].
*Grace Watkins ([[Phoebe Fox]]) is the baby of the quartet, who is still adjusting to life in the Big City, but as the most traditional of the witches she should not be underestimated. With a strong moral sense of what is right and wrong, it is often down to Grace to pull the rest of the girls back from the brink when they are teetering on the edge of disaster. Grace represents the element, [[Water]].
*Hannah Bright ([[Hannah Tointon]]) is the traveller of the group, and her flighty nature has taken her all over the world. Although devoted to the girls wherever she is, Hannah is often just passing through without much thought to what she is doing. More than a bit restless and a massive fear of commitment, she just goes wherever the wind may take her. Hannah represents the element, [[Air]].

===Recurring===
*Lucy ([[Rosamund Hanson]]) is Stella's nightmare ex-girlfriend.
*Gloria Watkins ([[Caroline Quentin]]) is Grace's mother.
*Janet Boot ([[Amanda Drew]]) is Stella's boss.
*Aaron ([[Reece Noi]]) is Jude's work pal.
*Gerry ([[Jamie Davis (actor)|Jamie Davis]]) is Jude's boyfriend/Grace's love interest.
*Alexa ([[Fiona Hampton]]) is the leader of Witches of [[Kensington]].
*India ([[Sophie Colquhoun]]) is the former water element member of the Witches of [[Kensington]].
*Remy (Katharine Bennett-Fox) is one of the Witches of [[Kensington]].
*Romola (Harriet Ballard) is one of the Witches of [[Kensington]].

===Star signs===
On a card given by Stella to Hannah in the first episode, the girl's birthdays are as follows:

*Grace – 1 February ([[Aquarius (astrology)|Aquarius]])
*Stella – 23 April ([[Taurus (astrology)|Taurus]])
*Jude – 27 July ([[Leo (astrology)|Leo]])
*Hannah – 26 September ([[Libra (astrology)|Libra]])
