Celebrating the success of Being Human, BBC Three has commissioned a one-hour special documentary to give fans another taste of all things Human and otherwise, on Saturday 28 March at 9.15 pm.
Unearthed will take the audience on a unique behind-the-scenes tour to meet many of the actors who play the much-loved characters from the series including Aidan Turner (Mitchell), Russell Tovey (George), Lenora Crichlow (Annie), Jason Watkins (Herrick), Annabel Scholey (Lauren) and Sinead Keenan (Nina).
If there has been one show everyone is talking about over the last few weeks it has got to be BBC Three’s Being Human.
It seems that I can’t log on to our forum or check out my friend’s Facebook updates without someone proclaiming their love for the vampire drama. The show has ended up being one of the channel’s best performing to date, achieving a high of over one million viewers and much critical acclaim. Being Human has also enjoyed multiplatform success, being the most watched programme on BBC iPlayer for its first two episodes, as well becoming one of the best performing BBC websites.

Being Human is a new BBC3 ‘comedy’ about three twenty-something housemates – Annie, Mitchell and George – who are trying to live normal lives, despite the fact that Annie’s a ghost, Mitchell’s a vampire and George is a werewolf. Just your average suburban existences really…
And it should have been at least amusing, if only because it’s so ludicrous a concept, but it wasn’t. It was just stupid. The entire premise was stupid and we were thrown into the deep end of just accepting that these ‘beings’ were, and not only were, they’d found each other and now shared a flat.
Three twenty-something housemates are united in trying to live normal lives, despite struggling with unusual afflictions: one’s a werewolf, one’s a vampire and one’s a ghost, in BBC Three’s sexy, witty and thrilling new series, Being Human.
