John Mitchell, Being Human (UK version)Īgain, being based in the UK, you might argue this pick is more than a little biased. However, he comes back fighting, gaining his soul back (no shortcut gypsy curses for William the Bloody) and finally earning his redemption by sacrificing himself to close the Hellmouth and save the world.
