Life is among the living is tough enough, but imagine a household comprised of a 120-year-old vampire, a highly intelligent werewolf, and an agoraphobic ghost who died under mysterious circumstances. This unlikely contemporary drama is a slice of life as seen through the perspective of the supernatural.

Being Human - Watch it here!!

Being Human petition

If you saw this show on BBC it was a pilot show and BBC have not yet decided to turn it into a full series 🙁

If you enjoyed this show go to the link above and sign the petition pretty please 🙂

Also...

Did you see it, what did you think???
 
Hmmm...sounds intriguing. Haven't got time to watch it all now, but will do so later on or tomorrow. And will let you know whether I think it's petition worthy. Hehe. It's a good concept though- Kinda like Angel, American Werewolf and Randall and Hopkirk(Deceased) all rolled into one. So you know, promising. Hehe.

Edit:

white avenger agrees: According to that site, you have to be in the UK to see it, so us U S of A folks are just up the well known creek without that famous paddle.

it is worth looking at - a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf!!!
i loved the pilot so much which is why i wanted to share it with my fellow vamp fans 😀
 
Ooh the whole thing's on YouTube? I'll definitely have a look at that. Again, when I have time though. Haha. Might watch it later though...

Thanks for the info Goldenboy!
 
I heard an ad for this on Radio 1 a few weeks ago. I wasn't quite listening and at first I thought it was an ad for Buffy DVD's lol.

I may take a look later.
 
I liked that. Not sure how to describe it. Mitchell, the vamp, has sort of a world weary, conflicted 'tude...like out of an Anne Rice story. Annie the ghost was great, very funny. There's kind of an American Werewolf in London vibe...mixing horror and comedy.
 
I saw it on catch-up last week even though I missed the original transmission...it wasn't terrible 🙂 I felt it had quite a lot of promise and I'd like to see a full series commissioned. BBC3 are showing a few pilots at the moment and I guess the most popular will get a series.

Apparently, The Six is now to be called Dis/Connected.

It appears that Phoo Action has actually been commissioned for a full series but I've not seen anything about Being Human as yet...which I preferred of the two.

The sharp-eyed among you will have spotted that W10 LDN is written by Noel Clarke aka Mickey from Doctor Who
 
Wow, all of those Pilots sound really good and have a lot of potential. Being Human sounds the best in my opinion, but then maybe being a Buffy/Angel fan makes you biased? Plus I just love Sci-Fi/Fantasy in general so...

Things I Haven't Told You is the other one that really intrigued me. The theme kinda reminds me of a book I read ages ago- The Moth Diaries.

W10 LDN sounds good but mainly appeals to me because of the Life On Mars link and I loved that show. Haha.
 
I've seen a preview of "Things I Haven't Told You" on YouTube. It looks awesome. Have any of those aired yet? Other than Being Human?

The BBC had a show called "Strange" once, I read they aired a pilot then five more episodes MONTHS later and the later episodes did poorly because of the wait. I don't like that practice of airing a pilot and then deciding whether to pick it up. Seems so cruel. lol
