We're in the mood for a song today. Let's see, how does that old Sinatra track go again? Oh yes, I remember...

"And now... the end is near..." *sniff*

Ok, must stop now before we get all wistful, because with only a dozen BH2 shooting days left our emotions are running high. Time to look back on a fantastic production period and get excited about how close we are to unveiling series two in all its glory in early 2010.

At this crucial time we thought it was only fitting to get Aidan, Lenora and Russell together once again to give us their thoughts on how the production has gone and how they're feeling about leaving the big bad world of the Being Human set.

We'll blogging miss them when they're gone...

After months of writing, shooting and editing, the first three episodes of Being Human Series Two are nearly complete. We dragged Director Colin Teague out of the edit to tell us what to expect... and it sounds like it's going to be much darker.

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.
