Turner: 'New Being Human is darker'

Aidan Turner has predicted that the upcoming second series of Being Human will be darker than the first.

Speaking exclusively to DS, Turner, who plays vampire John Mitchell in the BBC series, also revealed what lies ahead for his character.

"I don't know how much I'm actually allowed to say, but it gets quite dark for Mitchell - I think the whole second series is quite dark," he admitted. "He tries to make amends for the mess that's been left behind and a lot of angry vampires want his blood!

"He has to go on and deal with that and that takes him to places that he doesn't realise he's got to go until he's in them. And then he has to deal with those situations. It's a heavy time for Mitchell!"

Discussing the show's other central characters, Annie and Georgie, he added: "They get involved in Mitchell's stuff, but his stuff is very much his own story really.

"George obviously is still dealing with his issues and his afflictions. And Annie has a very interesting story as well. I'd hate to spoil her story but she has some very exciting stuff coming up!"
