‘Being Human’ writer and creator Toby Whithouse talks series 4 and the ever evolving plot of the show.

SFX.co.uk has published extra content from their ‘Being Human’ magazine feature online. In this interview with Toby, he discusses the new direction of the show, new actors, balancing comedy and drama, the future of ‘Being Human’ and more.

SFX: Was it always the principle that this show is about a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost, so you have to have that kind of line-up, or did you ever think, ‘Well, maybe this can go in a different direction now’?

Toby Whithouse: “Well, there was never any pressure from the channel to replicate the format, but it was something that we felt… I mean, arguably that’s what the show is. EastEnders is set in that square and although they’ll occasionally have excursions, you wouldn’t take them out of that precinct. And similarly with our show, the format is the format and ultimately even though there’ll be moments of flux nonetheless we’ll always return to what is the essential DNA of the show. But that was absolutely our choice.”

The fourth series of ‘Being Human’ premieres in the UK this Sunday on BBC and on February 25th on BBC America. Thanks to SFX.co.uk.
