The rumour mill is working overtime with talk of an American remake of Being Human so we here at the BH Blog thought we'd get to the bottom of it. We spoke to Executive Producer Rob Pursey and asked for the latest news...
"You've probably heard that there will be an American version of Being Human. We think it's a testament to the power of our series that another version will happen. It will be different, though it will be recognisable. We hope it will be brilliant, and we hope you like it when it comes. But it won't affect the show we are making here and now."
Writers, casting and storylines are yet to be confirmed, but you can expect thirteen episodes coming to American screens soon. And don't worry, it's not going to impact on the British show so you can still expect a full quality second series when it airs here in the UK at the start of 2010.

Only one more day to go until the fangs go in, the claws come out and the dead rise from the earth to have one hell of a party. BUT before rounding off our Halloween Week here on the blog we had one final task... to ask Aidan, Russell and Lenora for their favourite Halloween memories.
Be honest, what is Halloween without a pumpkin? Nothing. Nada. Zip. *insert another word for 'nothing' here* So we here at BH Blog Towers have created this handy picture guide to get you making your very own Being Human pumpkin. Good luck!
Step1 - The easiest step... Get a pumpkin.
Step 2 - Cut a hole in the top with a knife. BE CAREFUL! Fingerless gloves don't really work if you chop off your fingers.
Step 3 - Scoop out the insides of the pumpkin and get rid... eurgh.
Step 4 - Print off the Being Human name...
Step 5 - Stick it to your pumpkin. It doesn't look too impressive at this stage, but it gets better...
Step 6 - Using a compass, cocktail stick, or other pointy instrument, carefully poke holes around the edges of your design...
Step 7 - Use a knife or specialist pumpkin carving tool (we found ours in the supermarket) to join the dots...
Step 8 - Add light and... voila! You are a pumpkin-carving god!

Think you know Nina?... Think again.
With her discovery of the grizzly supernatural world (and the small matter of seeing her boyfriend kill someone whilst in wolf state) there's an awful lot for her to get her head around.
It's a big challenge for Nina and an even bigger challenge for the woman behind Nina... the legendary Sinead Keenan. We caught up with her on the set of series two to find out how she's getting on with job...

Annie's was killed there... Mitchell was staked there... George even transformed there. Yes, the bright pink, oddly-decorated Being Human house saw so much drama it was almost a character in itself.
So we here at BH Blog Towers we thought it was time to let you inside for the first time since series two began filming. And look who we found... it's only bloomin' Russell and Lenora!

It's time now to introduce a new face from the Being Human family... it's Tom, the ultra hard-working runner!
As a runner, Tom carries out glamorous jobs including fetching stuff, carrying stuff, holding stuff and getting told off by producer Matt Bouch for not getting his (and I quote) "DAMN ESPRESSO I ASKED FOR TEN MINUTES AGO".
But worry not, despite all this Tom works with one of the biggest smiles on the production, and has kindly let the BH Blog team follow him for an entire day.
We promise we didn't just do it for the free tea and biscuits. Honest.

It's time to welcome back one of our favourite faces from BH series one - legendary make-up designer Marcus Whitney.
His handiwork was responsible for all the glitz, glamour and gore of the first series, but today he's got an easy job... a haircut and a bit of make-up for Russell Tovey.
