A series 5 thread already? Excellent!

p.s Hopes for next series.

1. Gilbert.

2. Gilbert fun.

3. A nod to a certain division of limbo that caters for dead-ish coppers with lost souls.

Love the A2A thing there.

Apparently we're getting characters called Vernon and Clara in an upcoming episode.

Apparently Russell Tovey wants a George/Nina spin-off ...

Somehow I think he might be jesting a little.

[Tobias.]

As much as I like the guy, I have to say he should have stayed with the show. He thought it was time to move on, he should not look back.

A spin off is pointless now, if anything it should be with that vampire kid (can't remember his name) who had the red button spin off.

[Shawn_Lunn]

I read the article a few times and Russell's tweets to BBC3 and I do think he was just joking to be honest,

A spin-off with Adam would've been fun but I don't think the show has a big enough audience to warrant anything more than online content in that respect.

I was checking some of Damien Molony's tweets and it does appear that they're halfway through filming Series 5.

Somehow I think he might be jesting a little.

From his tweets he said it after two days of recording a Being Human audio book with Sinead and feeling nostalgic, so could be, but the fact that he's recording that in the first place rather than making a clean break from the show, and his (not jokey) mention of maybe coming back one day in the video on the blog after his last episode aired tell me that he might be up for some sort of return one day if they asked. Sinead's response:

Sinead Keenan ‏@SineadKeenan

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s116/...-and-nina.html … I'm IN! What say you tweeps? Let's get this puppy up and running! x

[Shawn_Lunn]

Audio book. I might get that.

SFX have some Series 5 spoilers ...

Spoiler

- First of all, writer wise, Toby Whithouse will be writing 5x01 and 5x02, Daragh Carville will be penning 5x02, Jamie Mathieson will be scribing 5x03, John Jackson's written 5x04 and Sarah Dollard has scribed 5x05.
- The Old Ones are officially done with. There'll be something in the first episode that puts that arc to rest.
- This series will be about the Men In Grey and Captain Hatch (Phil Davis).
- No details revealed about Hal, Alex and Tom surprisingly enough in the interview.
- Phil Davis's Captain Hatch will be in all six episodes of Series 5 and he really is a nasty piece of work or described by Whithouse - "manipulative, obsequious and cruel".
- Mr Rook is also a major player throughout the fifth series as well.
- Episodes 2-5 will have the usual array of guest characters, though no actors were mentioned but knowing this show's penchant for good casting, we can only imagine.
- Despite the episode reduction, Whithouse has insisted that the show's balance between a series arc and stories of the week hasn't been affected.

Is anyone aware of places with information and updates following production? I can't seem to find much.

[Shawn_Lunn]

I posted some Twitter links in the first page of people who know about filming/locations and stuff.

Filming seems to have been completed for the fifth series now.

Yeah, bit disappointed we're getting less episode but as long as they're good, it should be fine.

mmmmmmmmmmmm

tis all im sayin

but yay cant wait

[Shawn_Lunn]

Not too long. I'm sure it'll be either late January or early February 2013 for Series 5.

[Flash525]

I thought series 4 (compared to series 1 - 3) was appalling, and incredibly weak. I wont be in any hurry to watch series 5 unfortunately.

[Josh Pinder]

On the contrary...series 4 i think was the stronvest series of the show to date...i loved the change up, glad that Annie was there for the full run of episodes there and Hal and Tom eally grew beyond belief.

But i also adore the first three series too ...so very much looking forward to where it is ehaded next, and yes i presumed a Jan/Feb start as it is usually around that time isnt it...always a great way to start a new year

[Shawn_Lunn]

I loved Series 4, definitely a great step in the right direction but I get that it might not be for everyone.

[crimez83]

With the news Merlin has been cancelled, I'm bracing myself for the fact this could be the last series. Though to be honest I was expecting Series 4 to be the finale. I hope this isn't the case though - this show gets me through dreary February Sunday evenings!

[Shawn_Lunn]

Yeah, I think Series 5 will be Being Human's last one too but if it gets a sixth run, it won't go beyond that I suspect.
