Actor Phil Davis is to guest star on the fifth series of Being Human, the BBC has announced.

Davis, who plays a villain called Captain Hatch, said: “I’m very excited to be joining the cast of Being Human for series 5. It’s a great show. I’ll be playing Captain Hatch. I don’t want to give too much away about the character at this early stage but I can reveal that he is marvellously disgusting. I’m busy researching now.”

The BBC added: “Captain Hatch has seen it all, at least he reckons he has, and whatever it is, he doesn’t much like it. Stuck in a failing body, in a wheelchair, in a dismal seaside hotel, things aren’t exactly sunny side up. Hatch embodies the worst in humanity – he’s bitter, manipulative, obsequious and cruel. And beneath his decrepit exterior there lies within him a dark and toxic secret that could rattle your soul with fear.”

Davis will star alongside Tom (Michael Socha), Hal (Damien Molony) and Alex (Kate Bracken).
