Supernatural drama Being Human‘s fifth series continues next weekend and Crumb has found his bloody way in the world with a new pal in tow. When Rook approaches Hal to get them under control, Hal is unable to refuse: he owes Rook a favour after all.

Series 5 Episode 4 airs at 10pm on Sunday 24 February on BBC Three. To whet your appetite, here are ten hints for the episode…

» An item from Episode 1 of this series makes an important return.

» Does Crumb have a ghost of a chance with the person he goes on a date with?

» 11 tins of Alphabetti Spaghetti? Alex, consider us impressed.

» At times this week’s episode is like The Man with the Golden Arm, except with vampires instead of Frank Sinatra…

…at other times it’s like The Deer Hunter, except with blood instead of bullets…

…and at other times it’s like The Seventh Seal, except with Three Card Brag instead of Chess.

» Everybody loves a montage!

» Only in Being Human could Burt Reynolds and Worzel Gummidge get name-checked in the same sentence.

» If you a fan of Damien Molony’s ‘terrified-face’ then you’ll be in your element here.

» Mr Rook is getting desperate. Very desperate.
