Being Human Episode 3
I’m dead (pun intended) pleased that Being Human is back on our screens. In my opinion it’s
the best thing on TV, with great characters and a brilliant script. Here are two new clips to
from the upcoming third episode to get your teeth into! For previous episodes check out
Being Human stars Lenora Crichlow, Russell Tovey and Aidan Turner as three apparent twenty-something characters sharing a house in Bristol, trying to live a normal social life, despite being a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire respectively.
Being Human series 2
I’m very much looking forward to the next series of Being Human, and have been ever since the originals aired earlier this year. I read nothing but praise for the episodes on the BBC board after each episode aired – seriously, nobody with even a quibble. Rightly so, too, it was one of the best bits of TV I’ve seen in a long time. Here’s hoping the next series will be just as good!
I’ve been sent an interesting press release and some vids, unfortunately I’m unable to attend the advanced screening of series two’s opening episode but hopefully I’ll be able to put some clips up at some point when they bring out a teaser. Keep reading for more titbits…
Being Human Episode 2
Yesterday’s episode revolved around George (Russel Tovey) meeting another werewolf who wants to teach him to control his monthly transformation. Initially George wants nothing to do with him. There are quite a few funny moments – not least when George follows the lead of his sex-crazed thrill junkie of a mentor to chat up a nurse. Despite the fact that Annie (Lenora Chrichlow) rarely leaves the flat, she also gets quite a bit of screen time (which is no bad thing as her story and character are interesting and she’s lovely to look at!). Mitchell (Aidan Turner), has a few more saucy run-ins with an increasingly disturbing ex-girlfriend-turned-vampire, Lauren (Annabel Scholey). The interesting thing about these two is that Mitchell “turned” her, so even though her blood thirst and depravity appals, he made her what she is, so she is able to manipulate him.
Being Human
Last year BBC Three ran a one-off pilot called Being Human that people liked so much they campaigned for a series. On Sunday night the first of a six-part season commissioned on the strength of the pilot’s popularity kicked off with a bang. Initially I was a bit miffed they’d replaced two out of three of the main characters (Guy Flanagan and Andrea Riseborough were great in the pilot) and I’d heard rumours it was also going to be less dark. Uh-oh I thought. Though judging by Sunday’s episode I needn’t have worried. Lenora Crichlow (Annie) and Aidan Turner (Mitchell) do a great job in their ghost and vampire characters as Russell Tovey reprises his role as the werewolf.
