The cast and crew of the BBC Three show moved to south Wales from Bristol – which has reinvigorated the show.

She said: “We needed to flee the area because of the way series two ended.

“What the production reasons were I don’t know but it worked really well. It really brought a freshness to everything.

“The set was incredible. That injects a huge amount of enthusiasm and excitement when you see how much effort, time and detail has gone into it.

“It trickles down. Everybody has a new energy and I think it needs that when you have a show which is long-running, to keep it fresh and everyone on their toes.”

The drama, despite its otherwordly premise, boasts a sense of humour and taste for the ordinary.

Since the last series, the gang have moved to Cardiff for a fresh start, and in our interview below they reveal what’s coming up – so beware of spoilers – plus, they reveal what Lacey Turner (EastEnders’ Stacey Slater) was like in her new Being Human role…

Being Human returns to BBC Three and BBC HD on Sunday January 23.

We heard the new set is haunted, is that true?

Russell – That’s true, we had things going on in the background and photos falling off shelves.

Sinead – Absolutely true, we had continuity photos printed with weird things in, like Alice had red nail varnish on but in the photos two of her nails came out black.

Russell – Also a girl did a real 360º head turn on set. The set is near an old bus depot in Barry Island and I think someone must have died on the buses.

Being Human creator Toby Whithouse has revealed more details about the show’s new online spinoff.

He told SFX that Becoming Human will be aimed at a younger audience than its parent series.

“We had this idea to set it in a school,” he explained. “It’s about these kids in detention [so] you could call it a supernatural Breakfast Club!”

The seven-part web series will focus on the circumstances surrounding the death of the ghostly Matt (Josh Brown).

“All though the whole series I’ve said I wanna meet my mom, because [George] did a runner from his family when he found out he was a werewolf, and they’ve done it!” Tovey told SFX. “I don’t know if that’s for me, or if I planted the seed, but to go back and see George’s family and his past is gonna be really cool.”

The actor added that George will come to terms with his lupine condition in the new run.

Crichlow, who plays the ghost Annie, recently told SFX: “It kind of puts Annie in place. This zombie exposes [her] to all the things she’ll never have again. Often the things that happen in Annie’s adventures really make her realize how in limbo she is, and just how unsettling that can be when you’re looking at that for eternity.”

“I think that’s it [for my character] as I had a stake through the heart in the last episode,” the actress told What’s On TV.

However, Marshal admitted that the show’s supernatural nature meant that a return for Lucy was still a possibility.

“Everyone was like, [dying] doesn’t mean anything!” she said. “[I could] come back as a ghost! I loved doing [that show].”

It will come as no surprise to its fans that the superb supernatural series Being Human has been named Best Television Drama at the 2010 UK Writers’ Guild Awards.

The Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, the trade union representing writers in TV, radio, theatre, books, poetry, film, online and video games in the UK, held its awards ceremony this weekend.

The series – which is a spin-off of BBC 3’s hugely popular supernatural drama, Being Human – will comprise nine episodes, and be penned by Whithouse (Doctor Who) and Brian Dooley (The Smoking Room), as well as two other writers who cut their teeth on Being Human, John Jackson and Jamie Mathieson.

Speaking to the Stage, Whithouse said: “We’ve got a cracking story lined up, with some terrific new characters and all the thrills and chills you can manage.”

Radio Times reports that Becoming Human – which follows a group of new characters, students at a fictional college – will be available through the Being Human website only, airing online midway through the third series of its parent show, which returns to BBC Three in January 2011.

As with Being Human, there will be three main characters – Adam, a vampire “trying to get himself back on the straight and narrow at college”, Christa, a “beautiful, cool” werewolf, and their friend Matt – who become embroiled in mystery. Adam is to be played by 19-year-old actor Craig Roberts (Young Dracula); Christa by Leila Mimmack (Married, Single, Other) and Matt by Josh Brown (Grange Hill).

Upon finishing, I was left feeling that SyFy’s Being Human is not only an extremely competent adaption of a UK series, but one that may surpass the original series in the hearts and minds of fans around the globe.

Sam Witwer recently revealed information about his character in the upcoming remake. He’s going to be playing the vampire in the series, and he calls the character “a cross between a heroin addict and a sex addict [who] spent 200 years of his life being a completely amoral murderer, and now he realizes that he cannot continue like that. Everything that he knows…is patterned around feeding [and] victimizing people, so he’s reprogramming himself. He’s a tortured individual.”
