BBC Three presents new one-off drama Being Human – a witty, exciting, sexy and extraordinary look at the friendship between three 20-something outsiders trying to find their way in an enticing, yet complicated world.
Starring a cast of bright up-and-coming actors: Guy Flanagan (Totally Frank), Andrea Riseborough (Margaret Thatcher: The Long Walk to Finchley), Russell Tovey (The History Boys) alongside Adrian Lester (Hustle), Being Human explores what its like trying to find where you fit into the grand scheme of things when you live with an unusual affliction…
Mitchell (Flanagan) and George (Tovey) are two 20-something lads who, like any of their peers, would love to hit the town, pull girls and spend evenings down the pub.
Mitchell is a hospital cleaner, good looking, laid back and a hit with the ladies. Oh, and he’s a blood sucking vampire.
Mitchell’s friend George works in the same hospital as a porter. He’s an awkward but loveable geek who was befriended by Mitchell two years ago.
George was heartbroken after he had to move away from the love of his life; he had to leave before she discovered that at every full moon, he sprouts a snout, grows a very hairy back and transforms into a werewolf.
Having had enough of sleeping in hostels and temporary accommodation, Mitchell and George decide to get a flat together where they can indulge in their love of beer, pizza and watching TV. They just want to have a go at being normal – being human.
Annie (Riseborough) is their uninvited lodger. When the guys moved into their new creepy abode they were not expecting to share it with a ghost with a confidence crisis.

This was fantastic! Fun, sexy, dark drama with so much potential. I hope this returns to the airwaves and doesnt stay as a one off hour drama.
This was really good and I also know the area in Bristol plus the pub ha!
Would love to show this more as a series!
What an excellent and refreshing drama. Can’t wait for a series!
What a change from those awful American supernatural dramas.
I’ve just seen the show and must say wow! Really good, need a series or film? If the BBC are investing so heavily in stuff like Doctor Who and its less convincing cousin torchwood, then it should seriously think about investing in something like this to go on and get a whole lot bigger. Well written, great casting and acting + charaters balance each other so well. There is so much you could do with it and it really does have the human touch. Don’t let this disappear like C4’s Ultra violet!
