Last year BBC Three ran a one-off pilot called Being Human that people liked so much they campaigned for a series. On Sunday night the first of a six-part season commissioned on the strength of the pilot’s popularity kicked off with a bang. Initially I was a bit miffed they’d replaced two out of three of the main characters (Guy Flanagan and Andrea Riseborough were great in the pilot) and I’d heard rumours it was also going to be less dark. Uh-oh I thought. Though judging by Sunday’s episode I needn’t have worried. Lenora Crichlow (Annie) and Aidan Turner (Mitchell) do a great job in their ghost and vampire characters as Russell Tovey reprises his role as the werewolf.
