With all its gore and melodrama, you may not expect BBC Three’s surprise hit Being Human – which follows the travails of a werewolf, a ghost and a vampire trying to make their way in the human world – to be the happiest set, but that’s exactly what it is.
In the series, George (the werewolf, played by Russell Tovey), Annie (the ghost, played by Lenora Crichlow) and Mitchell (the vampire, played by Aidan Turner) are beset on all sides and can never tell who they can trust. Always watching their backs in case their true identities are found out by the humans around them, they are just as disliked by their fellow supernatural beings.
Although initially horrified his mate has let his ladies’ man status out of the bag, Turner – who has a gorgeous Dublin accent and easy charm – admits playing a vampire has helped with the opposite sex. “Bloody hell, he’s getting me in trouble, isn’t he?” he laughs. “Well, you know, vampires are all the craze these days. It doesn’t do me any harm, that’s for sure.”
