'Being Human' director teases new series

Being Human director Philip John has promised that the forthcoming third series will have a strong sense of humour.

Speaking in an official BBC video, John praised the abilities of the show's guest cast, singling out Spooks star Nicola Walker.

"[There is] a lot of comedy [in] this series," he confirmed. "We've got fantastic comic guest performers - Nicola Walker, who plays Wendy, [is] just staggering."

However, John insisted that the show would continue to blend comedy with horror, praising the programme's "multi-genre tone".

"There are moments of fantastic gore and horror and then there are touching moments between the guys who all live together," he explained.

The third series of Being Human is currently filming in Cardiff.
