New to BH? Watch out, this post contains spoilers from series one...
For the past few weeks we've been taking you behind the scenes of everyaspectofBeingHuman...But today we've got something really special.
You see, today it's not us taking you behind the scenes, but the woman behind everyone's favourite ghost - Being Human star Lenora Crichlow.
Armed with nothing but a handicam, Lenora was asked to document what life was like on the Being Human set... and this is what came back.

It is always nice to see another side of the actors and it seems that they were having a blast working on Being Human!
Got to say I have not seen any coffins yet in the show... I guess they are coming soon...

karode01 - re coffins - I spotted a hearse car when Mitchell went to see Herrick & Seth. I wondered if funeral director was another cover for them, and would certainly make sense for recovering recruited bodies etc. Perhaps the coffins are just part of that and a nod to the old idea of vamps sleeping in coffins?

Karode01 the coffins were in eisode 4 at the start when Mitchell goes to see Herrick but probably in next episode too - if hes going back i guess hell be spending more time there yeah i thought about the funeral director thing - it would make sense.
Thanks for all these videos it makes the actual show even more enjoyable and fills the gaps between shows lol a week is too long (how ill last7 weeks in between the last episode and dvd release i have no idea lol) cant wait for Aidan and Russells :-D they seem like really nice people - not celebrity-y if that makes sense seem like theyd be a good laugh to go out for a drink with etc ooh im so jealous.
Oh and is it just me or does Aidan sound less irish than when hes acting?

The dancing at the end was probably the most professional I have seen particularly when Lenora's head appeared over what the people were carrying across camera.

I learned a long time ago filming involves a LOT of waiting-around-time for the actors as crew set up for shots eg lighting I can appreciate BH cast taking a moment or two for appearing on this video diary
I would also like to see more video diaries if anyone else makes one, no pressure on the cast, only if they like to.
Are these behind the scenes thingies (make-up artist interview, visit the set, and video diaries) going to be included on the DVD for BH?
Talented cast here, so we shouldn't be surprised if the characters for some reason - writers can think up *anything* LOL - have to dance or sing in an ep's scenario?
I know it has become the signature on the blog but I'm repeating it, I really want one more than snowfall at Christmas.
Please can we have a series 2!
Please!
