Being Human season 4

premieres Sunday

From

http://tool8.wordpress.com/

Oh ye of little faith! Remember way back, in those dark days of yore, when nobody had even heard of BBC3, never mind watched it? One TV show’s creator does: “When they announced one of the pilots was about a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost sharing a house, people said: ‘That sounds shit, I’m not watching that’. Then they did and they loved it…” Oh yes we did, and oh yes we most certainly did! This Sunday sees the return of BBC3′s supernatural drama series “Being Human” – minus Mitchell (Aidan Turner) and Nina (Sinead Keenan) but with two new full time characters. Working class werewolf Tom McNair (Michael Socha) is now a card-carrying member of the “family” along with series newcomer Damien Molony as the charismatic vampire, Hal. Russell Tovey (George) is also moving on – and I have to say that I’m quite pleased by that as I felt he was the weakest actor in the whole ensemble. Much like The Walking Dead‘s resident one-trick-pony Sarah Wayne Callies, Tovey has only two abilities: wimpy cry-baby and high-pitched screamer. His recent appearance in BBC’s new Sherlock series was dreadful and hammy and made me realise how much better this season will be with Socha taking over his shoes.

SPOILERS FOR EPISODE ONE SEASON FOUR

1. Expect a very dark episode, but with a refreshing strain of humour throughout.

2. “There’s nothing nice in this house anymore…”

3. Nina’s fate is revealed within the first five minutes. But the "fuzzy love child" of George and Nina (Russell Tovey and Sinead Keenan) survives...as shown above!

4. We also learn what happened to powerful ‘Old One’ vampire Wyndham (Lee Ingleby).

5. There are references to both Superman and Batman.

6. “With you like this, they’ve already won.”

7. Annie invents a brilliant new word.

8. “They put up quite a fight, but we slit their throats and stamped on their bones all the same.”

9. We find out what happens to old werewolves.

10. If you’re not in tears by the final scenes, you have a heart of stone!

The Guardian said recently:
Such massive cast changes have only added to the feeling that Being Human has been transforming into a quite different show: with George’s sacrifice of Mitchell and the arrival of a new vampire villain last series, it seemed as though the show was teeing itself up to move from cosy/horrific flatshare to Twilightesque epic supernatural battle. So it is a relief to find that series four will see the show return to its original USP: a vampire, a werewolf and ghost sharing a house. And on first glance, the new lineup also looks to have gone back to source: Annie plus a brooding vampire and a boyishly handsome werewolf. So what is going on? Can fans expect the Being Humanthey love, an entirely new incarnation, or an imitation of the original?

Series creator Toby Whithouse has the answer:

Losing Russell and Sinead so suddenly was very difficult. But it never occurred to us for a moment to stop making the show. Not because we need the cash, but because we knew there were a 1,000 stories left to tell and 10,000 characters left to create. Hand on heart, I think series four is our best ever. Damien Moloney and Michael Socha are utterly breathtaking. And Lenora takes centre stage with stunning confidence. Season 4 premieres in the UK at 9pm on Sunday 5th February, broadcast on BBC3 and BBC HD simultaneously. Viewers in the USA will see the premiere on BBC America’s Supernatural Saturday line-up, commencing 25 February.
