Toby Whithouse Teases & Updates Fans About BH4

It's been a while since the BBC Being Human blog has been updated, but today the silence was broken by the writer of Being Human himself, Toby Whithouse.

Toby revealed that he is hard at work putting together the scripts for Being Human 4 and attending meetings with other BH executives. He also stated that the first script readthrough will take place in less than two weeks!

Although he wouldn't reveal any specifics about the new series, he did drop a few tasty tidbits.
As ever it's been a joy making this series. Though it didn't feel like it a lot of the time. Each series gets harder to make as, hopefully, we set the bar higher and higher. But I think we've got another corker for you.

You know me well enough by know not to be surprised when I say there's nothing I can tell you about series 4, just my usual cryptic nuggets: There will be lots of new faces, an old face, a genuinely shocking death, a new villain, a sort-of new kind of supernatural (though that could change... we're very fickle...), a new writer and a journey to somewhere even we have never gone before.
Toby also briefly mentioned the BAFTA nods that Being Human received and offered his congratulations for Sherlock.
Oh and thank you for all the Bafta good luck wishes. We genuinely didn't think we stood much of a chance. I can't think of a year where the competition has been stronger. And to have a third series of anything nominated is an honour in itself. Plus, I think Sherlock was a work of genius. Hand on heart, I was delighted for them.
