Being Human 5.03 "Pie And Prejudice" spoiler-free preview

The Mighty Boosh ’s Julian Barratt is more than a bit Alan Partridge as washed-up weatherman Larry Chrysler.

It’s a very funny episode, but also quite touching, as the unlikely bromance between Hal and Tom comes to the fore.

  • Walton Goggins as the Ghoul in Fallout season 2 Fallout star Walton Goggins says that fateful moment in season 2 episode 7 is "a lot to ponder"

This might be the sweariest episode of Being Human ever. Expect plenty of “fuck”s, “wanker”s and “shit”s!

The episode title refers to another book, aside from the obvious one...

The episode's a bit filthy too - one toilet scene features two different sex acts!

Tom spends the episode trying to better himself.
