Celebrating the success of Being Human, BBC Three has commissioned a one-hour special documentary to give fans another taste of all things human and otherwise, on Saturday 28 March at 9.15pm.

Unearthed will take the audience on a unique behind-the-scenes tour to meet many of the actors who play the much-loved characters from the series including Aidan Turner (Mitchell), Russell Tovey (George), Lenora Crichlow (Annie), Jason Watkins (Herrick), Annabel Scholey (Lauren) and Sinead Keenan (Nina).

Unearthed is unmissable viewing for anyone who loves Being Human.

The documentary will also feature interviews with series creator and writer Toby Whithouse and will be followed by the first three episodes of the first series.
