On any Being Human shoot there are two important locations...
The first is the set itself, where the cameras, crew and actors do their thing. The second is the unit base, a massive 'travelling circus' of lorries that set up close by to house the production team. This is where shoots are planned, actors are rushed into make-up and, most importantly, Tom the runner refills his tea urn.
The man in charge of keeping the unit base running smoothly is everyone's farourite 2nd Assistant Director, Derek, and he kindly agreed to spend a day showing us around.
Now, he looks like a nice guy, but if you don't keep to his schedule... well, let's put it this way, they don't call him 'Mad Axeman Derek' for nothing. Oh, wait, actually I'm being told they don't call him that. But he will give you a VERY ANGRY LOOK.
Be warned.
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.
