Broadcast reports that BBC Three's Being Human will have a year-round presence online, created by RDF's digital branch (the show is made by RDF subsidiary Touchpaper Television).

They aim to keep fans interested in between series, to avoid seeing viewers only starting to invest and watch regularly just as the series ends. Discussions are apparently ongoing as to what form the online element will take (and it is unclear whether it will be funded directly), but a potential web-only prequel has been mooted.
