Being Human - It's a winner!

BBC Cymru Wales' 'Being Human' - The crew!

Loyal fans of BBC Cymru Wales' superlative supernatural saga, Being Human were left reeling at the end of Series 3 when the popular 'Mitchell', played by Aidan Turner was dramatically killed off, allowing the actor to hop over to New Zealand, to become a Hobbit.

Things went from bad to worse when during the opening episode of the highly-anticipated Series 4, Nina (Sinead Keenan) failed to show, or even be mentioned - and boyfriend, werewolf George (Russell Tovey) died too, as a result of a forced change into wolf form. Things looked more than a little grim.

It was a delightful change - and for many a surprise, when Series 4, complete with new vampire Hal & a returning Tom, together with a re-energised & strengthened story line & superb writing from Toby Whithouse worked, instantly, completely - and perhaps 'felt' better than ever before. 

We still had our dark, but sexy vampire in Hal, our youthful, exuberant werewolf, Tom - and at least for now, our gorgeous ghost, Annie. A host of special guests & some really nasty baddies made the season rock - and audience figures soar!

The result? Fantastic reviews from all & sundry & a recommission even before the finale was aired. It's great news we'll be seeing more Being Human - it's a great Welsh institution - and a great window on Barry!
