Being Human
 
Looks interesting. Will watch it in a minute; anyone seen it yet?

It's on BBC Three and features Sugar from Sugar Rush as a ghost, plus Russell Tovey (the young-ish guy from The History Boys / Doctor Who)

Tom4784 31-01-2009 01:45 AM

andyman 31-01-2009 02:32 AM

It is good, pilot was a year ago and i'm sure two of the cast are new, the ghost and the vamp..

Shaun 02-02-2009 10:52 PM

Shaun 17-02-2009 01:31 AM

The latest one's well sad :(

And wtf at "SHUN" copying what I said...lmao. Strange.

andyman 23-02-2009 12:17 AM

WOW!! Fantastic episode! Last one next week and looks good, hope the bbc give it another series.

Tom4784 23-02-2009 12:29 AM

This weeks episode was fantastic, I was nearly screaming at the telly. I can't wait untill next week.

andyman 23-02-2009 12:35 AM

Vampy was not shown in the next weeks preview, dont thing she was aswell :-(
I hope she stays away from that door and he lives.. Her ex might become a vamp due to being at the police station and knowing about stuff.

I was thinking the same about Owen, I thought Herrick was gonna get him. I'm pretty sure Annie won't go through the door and Mitchell's gonna live I think.

andyman 23-02-2009 12:42 AM

Hope so, maybe it missed his heart.. They should have made that the last episode of this series and teased us with a date of the 2nd series.. But they never:sad: maybe no plans for a 2nd series, but the vamps cant be stopped in one episode! Lol.

I'm guessing Herrick's gonna die and that'll disband the vampires. That way they can have a new potential Vampire villain in later series.

Shaun 24-02-2009 01:43 AM

The last episode is possibly the best hour's viewing of television I've ever experienced. I've laughed, I've cried, I've been screaming at the TV. Action, comedy, people I hate and a great cliffhanger.

Aaaaaah!

George's camp chair-throw made me lmao. But Annie leaving made me :'(

This HAS to be commissioned for a second series.

Ross 24-02-2009 01:46 AM

I love Being Human it makes me sexwee.

andyman 24-02-2009 06:09 AM

Being Human pilot...



Some fan put this together showing clips from the pilot..

Shaun 27-02-2009 12:17 AM

Great news. According to a Facebook Update I get:

Quote:

Being Human, the critically acclaimed hit BBC Three drama, chronicling the somewhat complicated lives of a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living in modern-day Bristol, made by Touchpaper Television, part of the RDF Media Group, has been recommissioned for another eight-part series.

The eagerly awaited current series, which followed a much-loved pilot of the twenty-something drama, concludes this Sunday 1 March.

Starring Russell Tovey (Little Dorrit, Doctor Who, The History Boys) Lenora Crichlow (Sugar Rush, Doctor Who) and Aidan Turner (The Clinic), Being Human attracted a high of over one million viewers and rave reviews.

Being Human has also enjoyed multiplatform success, being the most watched programme on BBC iPlayer for its first two episodes, as well becoming one of the best performing BBC websites.

Danny Cohen, Controller BBC Three, says: "I'm thrilled that we are recommissioning Being Human. It's hugely popular with young viewers and earned great critical acclaim at the same time.

"It's also a very important staging-post in the successful development of home-grown young drama on BBC Three."

Ben Stephenson, Controller BBC Drama Commissioning, added: "I am very excited Being Human is returning for a second series. It's a distinctive modern series that has captured the imagination of the BBC Three audience in terms of strong viewer loyalty and critical acclaim, signalling a real breakthrough for drama on the channel."

Rob Pursey, Executive Producer for Touchpaper Television, says: "'We already have some very exciting, very dark new stories up our sleeves, so we're delighted to have the opportunity to make a second series of Being Human.

"BBC Three has been a brilliant platform for us to mount an unusual and ambitious drama."

Being Human is written by Toby Whithouse (Being Human pilot, Torchwood, Doctor Who), produced by Matthew Bouch (The Sarah Jane Adventures, Being Human pilot), directed by Toby Haynes (M.I. High, Spooks Code 9), Alex Pillai (Wire In The Blood) and Colin Teague (Torchwood, Doctor Who), and executive produced by Rob Pursey, Touchpaper Television (City Of Vice, Sold) and Julie Gardner, Head of Drama for BBC Wales.

andyman 27-02-2009 12:27 AM

Fantastic!!!!! I hope nobody dies on sunday, i want the same cast back... Oh and she better stay away from that flippin door!

andyman 01-03-2009 09:08 PM

Great! Amazing... The 3 are alive and kicking! Woohoo!!

Shaun 01-03-2009 11:56 PM

Watching it at the moment. Loving Annie kicking vampire ass.

And was sad how the woman (who Mitchell dated in the 60s) died :sad:

Tom4784 02-03-2009 12:08 AM

It was a good episode, not as good as last week's though. I liked Annie going all Dark Phoenix on the vampires and i thought Mitchell and his 60's girlfriend part was well done. I kinda feel that the reveal about Nina at the end of the episode was kinda pointless (why did she act the way she did when she saw George if she was a werewolf herself?) but then again let's see how it developes.

The last scene was very interesting, a good hook for the next series.

Shaun 02-03-2009 12:11 AM

I was hoping for a cliffhanger :tongue: I suppose the bit with Nina was one...was she self-harming? :conf2: And Owen's so obviously going to be bitten and become the next villain for Series 2.

But...great ending to the series nonetheless.

Now I have only Heroes and Desperate Housewives to look out for :sad:

It's a werewolf scratch I think. I definately agree with you that Owen's gonna become supernatural.

Shaun 02-03-2009 01:50 AM

Oooh, I didn't think of that. But now I remember, didn't he scratch her when she ran into the chamber?

Ooer.

I was wondering what they'd introduce for Series 2...perhaps a new species :tongue: Zombies, haha.

It'll be interesting to see the story develop in series 2. I wonder if she'll be a different type of werewolf since he scratched her while only partly transformed?

I kinda expected her to be some sort of supernatural throughout the series I was thinking a witch though for some reason.

Lol I think Zombies would be rather interesting, I agree with you though, i'd liek to see some other types of species.

andyman 02-03-2009 02:02 AM

The guy at the end could be good.. Or pure evil! Maybe some global network that is very powerfull.. Or a good powerfull network who fight evil and has been going on for 1000s of years!..

Yep she must be a wolf now and owen becoming a vamp would make sence given that he is already pure evil.. Being biten would make that pure evil x500,000!!!!

Tom4784 02-03-2009 02:12 AM

I think the bloke at the end is good since I think the next villain will be Owen or another species.

andyman 02-03-2009 02:24 AM

^Yeah, due to the news getting out what they did and the good guys want them part of the team..

But if that is the case then there will be much more powerfull evil, Owen and his gang wont be anything big but will be a headache for the 3.

Plus 2nd series will have 8 episodes rather than the 6.. Tis all good and cant wait.. :bouncy:

Shaun 26-12-2009 07:29 PM

Series 2 is coming soon! :)

Stephanie 26-12-2009 07:33 PM

i can't wait till series 2 :)

Shaun 03-01-2010 09:58 PM

BBCThree. Next Sunday. 9:30. :)

Tom4784 05-01-2010 01:00 AM

Woot.

Shaun 21-02-2010 02:22 AM

The first few episodes were a bit naff, but the last one was really emotional - particularly Annie's séance with her mother :(

Tom4784 21-02-2010 05:23 PM

Annie's tragically underused compared to Mitchell and George. Her storylines are always far more interesting although Mitchell's story in particular has got better.

andyman 01-03-2010 12:02 AM

AMAZING! They're going to get her back from that hell..

Roll on series 3 :dance:

.. I think series 3 will be the last, she goes to heaven, Mitch dies with the head vamp and the others, wolf couple become human and live together.. Small twist at the end to make us go Fek! Oh no!

Shaun 01-03-2010 11:24 AM

I'm scared for Annie :(

And wtf @ Herrick back as a wolf...he wasn't that good a character to bring back IMO. They should bring back Owen (the guy who killed Annie).

Great ending though - bit worried by how gory they've gotten lately though - the train carriage and bathroom (corpse hanging from the ceiling) scenes were horrific!

Ninastar 01-03-2010 11:32 AM

I saw the episode where that guy was turning into the wolf and then it showed the people on the train and the guy on the intercom thing screaming. I kept changing it back and forth cause i was scared.
tehehe

When the third series was announced, Piers Wenger producer on the next Doctor Who series and head of drama at BBC Wales said this:

"BBC Cymru Wales is proud to have worked with Toby Whithouse and the team at Touchpaper on the last two series of Being Human and is thrilled that an editorial opportunity has arisen for them to bring the show to Wales. We look forward to continuing working with that team and Being Human's superb cast on its third series and for many more to come."
