Being Human: A Spectre Calls Preview

This week’s episode of Being Human is “A Spectre Calls”, in which the arrival of a new ghost at the house raises suspicions from Annie and her new friends.

As this week’s gallery (courtesy of the BBC) is rather modest, we’ll start with that.

So, what’s happening this week?

Annie, Hal and Tom are like a ring of steel protecting baby Eve – so when Kirby, a ghost from the 1970s calls at the house, they’re immediately suspicious.

Kirby wins them over with his feckless personality and proof that he’s been sent by Nina to help look after the baby. Annie soon falls for the handsome, charismatic ghost – perhaps Nina also sent him for reasons other than the baby?

Tom is utterly charmed by him, too, pleased to have an alpha male about the house to teach him the way of the world. Hal has his doubts about Kirby, but then Kirby has his doubts about Hal. Who will be proved right?

Starring Lenora Crichlow as Annie with her new regular cast of Michael Socha as Tom and Damien Molony as Hal. Also appearing are Gina Bramhill as Woman, Andrew Gower as Cutler, James Lance as Kirby, Ceri Mears as Custody Sergeant, Lucy Robinson as Dr. Wilson and Angus Wright as Dr. North.

“A Spectre Calls” is by Tom Grieves. You can catch new episodes of Being Human every on Sunday at 9pm on BBC Three, and catch previous episodes on BBC iPlayer.
