No Care, All Responsibility airs on BBC Three on Sunday 3rd March at 10pm.

A free preview of the first episode of new BBC Three zombie drama In The Flesh is to take place in Salford next week.

The screening - to be followed by a question-and-answer session with writer Dominic Mitchell and director Jonny Campbell - has been arranged by BBC Writersroom. It was through the BBC Writersroom scheme Northern Voices that Mitchell's script was discovered then developed, commissioned, and produced by BBC Drama North.

The three-parter is set in the fictional village of Roarton, four years after a zombie uprising, and tells the story of teenager Kieren Walker, played by Luke Newberry, and his reintegration back into both the local community and the heart of his family. A BBC statement said: The screening and Q&A session - with Mitchell and Campbell in conversation with Kate Rowland, the BBC's creative director of new writing - will be held at the Digital Performance Lab, University of Salford, MediaCity UK on Thursday 7th March, starting at 6.30pm. Attendees are being encouraged to come as zombies, and although this is purely optional a prize will be given to "the best zombified audience member".

The free tickets can be booked here on a first-come, first-served basis up to the day before the screening.

A trailer for the series has also been released by the BBC (NB: Contains scenes that some people may find upsetting):


A broadcast date for the start of the drama is yet to be announced.

The BBC's radio adaptation of the urban fantasy TV serial Neverwhere - created by Neil Gaiman and Lenny Henry - will start airing next month, it has been announced.

It was shown as a six-part series on BBC2 in 1996, starring - among others - Peter Capaldi, Hywel Bennett, Paterson Joseph, Tamsin Greig, and Earl Cameron, and brought out as a tie-in novel by Gaiman. Set in the magical world of "London Below" that co-exists with the more familiar city ("London Above"), it subsequently appeared as a comic-book series and has been staged a number of times too.

Now it has been turned into a six-part series for radio - adapted by Dirk Maggs, who has also co-directed it with producer Heather Larmour - and will begin on Radio 4 on Saturday 16th March with an hour-long instalment, to be followed by five half-hour episodes on the digital station Radio 4 Extra from Monday 18th March, according to Radio Times.

The latest adaptation stars James McAvoy in the lead role of Richard Mayhew, with Christopher Lee as the Earl of Earl's Court, Natalie Dormer as Door, David Harewood as the Marquis de Carabas, Sophie Okonedo as Hunter, Benedict Cumberbatch as The Angel Islington, Anthony Head as Mr Croup, David Schofield as Mr Vandemar, Bernard Cribbins as Old Bailey, Romola Garai as Jessica, Andrew Sachs as Tooley, George Harris as Abbot, Don Gilet as Fulingous, Ruislip, and Blackfriar, Abdul Salis as Sable, Sump, Clarence, and Homeless Man, Paul Chequer as Gary and Guard 2, Lucy Cohu as Lamia, Yasmin Paige as Anaesthesia, Tenant 2, and Match Girl, Johnny Vegas as Lord Ratspeaker, and Karen Archer as Sylvia, Old Woman, Dream Hawker, and Mother.

Last November, Gaiman commented:

Next Sunday's episode of Being Human guest-stars Ricky Grover as Bobby and Caitlin Richards as Hazel.

The Greater Good, written by John Jackson and directed by Daniel O'Hara, also features Ruari Mears as werewolf Tom and Feth Greenwood as werewolf Bobby.


Damien Molony plays Hal, Michael Socha Tom, Steven Robertson Rook, and Colin Hoult Crumb.

Pictures from the episode - the fourth in this final series - were released by the BBC today:

The Greater Good airs on BBC Three on Sunday 24th February at 10pm. Meanwhile, an online-only scene, penned by Sarah Dollard and entitled Alex's Unfinished Business, was also released today, showing an attempt to rekindle the romance between Alex and Hal:
