But if I’m honest, the reaction of some of the fans is depressingly predictable. People are perfectly entitled to watch something and say ‘I didn’t like it’. But to say ‘I’m not going to like that thing I haven’t seen yet’ is blatantly bonkers. “Every twist in the life of Being Human has been met with wails of anguish. When they announced one of the pilots was about a werewolf vampire and a ghost sharing a house, people said: ‘That sounds shit, I’m not watching that’. Then they did and they loved it. Then when we announced we were changing the cast, they said: ‘Oh God, how could you? I’m not going to watch it’. Now it’s hard to believe anyone else ever played those parts. “People thought we were stupid to kill Herrick off. Then they liked Kemp and Jaggat. Then I was ‘clearly running out of ideas’ when we brought Herrick back. Then they loved that story. We were stupid to move away from the Pink House. Then they loved the new house. So … well, there’s a theme developing. “It’s a genuine honour to have created a show that inspires such passion in its audience. But I understand that with that comes a nervousness when big changes happen. All I can say is we haven’t let the fans down yet, and we hopefully haven’t now.

Orrrrrrrr maybe we’d like for the show we loved not to be run into ground by continuing on. Crazy, isn’t it? There comes a point when a show should end because going on makes everything worse, and that’s how I feel about Being Human now. Series 4 should be the last because so little of what the show was originally about is left. But, hey, whatever, Toby. You know best, it’s your show. Thanks for the great season premiere last year!
