According to celebrity and media site Digital Spy, BBC Three has ordered a six-part series of comedy drama Being Human.
A pilot of the comedic show - in which a werewolf, vampire and ghost share a flat - performed well for the channel in February.
Filming with stars Russell Tovey, Andrea Riseborough and Guy Flanaghan will start later this year for transmission in 2009.
Executive producer Rob Pursey, of Touchpaper Television, said: "The pilot of Being Human gave us the opportunity to try something really unusual, and we were quite overwhelmed by the positive public response. So we’re delighted that the BBC has given us the go-ahead for a full series."
Danny Cohen, controller of BBC Three, added: "Of all our recent drama experiments on BBC Three, Being Human struck the most powerful chord with the audience.
Definitely a win for the Tovey, there.

Football boss talks through arse
"There are no gays in football, I don't know if players are against having them in their team but I definitely am. In the teams where I worked there were never any. I never wanted to have a homosexual player and I still wouldn't sign one. I'm old school but I know the ambience of football and a gay wouldn't be able to survive within it. A homosexual cannot do the job of a footballer. The football world is not designed for them, it's a special atmosphere, one in which you stand naked under the showers."Former Juventus managing director, Luciano Moggi
Obviously that would be very bad.

Channing Tatum is G.I. Joe
British readers will know classic American boy toy G.I. Joe better as Action Man - and I'm sure we all had at least one Action Men while growing up - mine was called David. I believe that only gay boys name their Action Man.
Anyway, there is a G.I Joe film currently in production starring up and coming hunk actor and former model Channing Tatum as First Sergeant Conrad S. Hauser aka Duke, and Dennis Quaid. Set ten years in the future, the film is said to be a fantasy adventure in the style of X-Men or Mission: Impossible as opposed to the war film you might expect. The villain is played by Christopher Eccleston. This huge-budget spectacular is directed by Stephen Summers, best known for The Mummy films and Van Helsing.
And Channing Tatum is hot. Yet again, let's hope the movie doesn't suck and his acting isn't as plastic as his character's origins.
G.I. Joe is scheduled for release in August 2009.

Dave Annable
Here at Cubland, we love US family drama Brothers & Sisters - currently showing on E4 in the UK in advance of a run on Channel 4.
To be honest, my heart pretty much belongs to Balthazar Getty, who plays oldest brother Tommy Walker, but I also enjoy Matthew Rhys as gay lawyer Kevin Walker and it is impossible not to fall for the puppy-dog charms of the baby of the family, Justin Walker, played with lots of charm by Dave Annable. If only we could get him to beef up a bit.
(Naturally, as gay men, we also love Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths and [the still slightly annoying] Calista Flockhart - who has mostly redeemed herself for the wilderness years after the point at which Ally McBeal became unwatchable nonsense and she became little more than Harrison Ford's alarmingly thin, messy-haired significant other.)

My ideal man is... and the winner is... Ben Cohen
New from TASHEN - Tom of Finland - The Complete Kake Comics
In 1965, Tom of Finland began flirting with the idea of an ongoing character for his panel stories, the ultimate Tom's Man. He tried out a blond named Vicky — a common male name in Finland — followed by a Tarzan-inspired Jack. Then in 1968 Tom settled on Kake, a dark-haired, mustached leatherman who often wore a tight white t-shirt bearing the motto F*cker.
Kake lived up to this moniker, a sort of post-Stonewall, hyper-masculine Johnny Appleseed travelling the world on his motorcycle to spread the seeds of liberated, mutually satisfying, ecstatically explicit gay sex. Tom lived out many of his most personal fantasies through Kake, and Kake’s international fans made him the template for what came to be known as the gay clone look of the 1970s.
Between 1968 and 1986, Tom published 26 episodes of Kake adventures, most as 20 page booklets. Now for the first time all 26 stories have been collected in one volume. Return with Kake to the days when men were men, sex was carefree, and everyone wore a big thick mustache.
