BEING HUMAN COMES TO BBC ONE

Buffalo... elephants... humpback whales...
Yes, all the best things in life migrate and Being Human is no exception, as this Thursday the show comes to BBC One at 10:35pm.
A new airing for Being Human means new fans on the blog, so if you're a regular visitor play nicely and try not to give away any spoilers in your comments on series one articles. In return, we'll get a whole new raft of BH fans to play with. Huzzah!
However, if you're new to the show you might want to take a leaf out of Mitchell's book and sink your teeth into a few features, such as the interview with BH Creator Toby Whithouse, a peek behind the scenes of the Costume & Make-Up Departments or see Russell, Aidan and Lenora as they discuss their characters George, Mitchell and Annie.
Oh, and don't forget the threeexcitingprequels that give you an insight into our trio's very dark pasts...
As the series progresses we'll highlight all the top spoiler-free features in our new Series One box on the right-hand side of the homepage, so you'll have everything at your fingertips to max out your Being Human experience. Hold on tight... it's gonna be a fun ride!

BBC1 for the show *thumbs up* so we need to tune into BBC1 when s2 starts? I must make a post-it note reminder - would hate to miss the start of the new series by going to the wrong channel!
I'm still recruiting newbies from across the pond, it's sort of cute that they don't know eg where Bristol is, etc so I have to edcuate them ;-)

Hope that BH1 rerun on BBC1 brings in loads of new fans but do sympathise with non UK based folk who can't access this website and all its glories ( including some of my family who would love access...well, they do have the DVD..OK ..no more go there!)
Not a HUGE response so far to my invite to suggest best fanvideo for BH1 from Youtube...keep the suggestions coming though...I have faith in you out there.
Just been watching recording of the beautiful one ( Aidan Turner for all newbies) on Desperate Romantics last night's episode...surprisingly Man also found this episode riveting...can't think why.. (Annie Miller anyone?) I think Aidan is trying to break the record for how many women he can... in a one hour show

Hmm fan videos - I think the most famous has to be sexy vampire :-P other than that...I've done a few and C's done a few - the girl who made sexy vampire has done a few others too although in our defence she has a much better editing program than me and C have access to lol

From across the pond, I've found this wonderful BBC show - have watched all eps I can find online - actually catching it on the BBCA channel here has been iffy. Stumbled across it looking for the 3rd season of RH to see if it was ever going to show over here. Tried viewing the video clips (Funniest George Moments, Mitchell's Best, Etc.), but they all tell me they are not available in my area. Wouldn't the Internet make it my area? Not sure I understand that error message -- any suggestions?
PS: Love hearing the dialog with the accent - sometimes miss what they say because of it and have to rewind, which I don't mind at all :)

I'm trying to like the show. I'm tremendously smitten with Annie, & George is a likable character. I've got a problem with Mitchell that I'd like to get over. If I can't, I may drop the show.
My problem is seeing Mitchell exposed to sunlight. I've seen him in front of unshaded windows during the day and even walking about outside in the afternoon.
Am I wrong, or are the producers being lazy and skirting the "Vampire Rules"?

Unfortunately, the DVD Box did not contain the pilot. Is there any chance of the BBC repeating the pilot episode in the forseeable future?

In fairness to the BH team...this question was asked sometime ago Toby's reasoning was that if Mitchell can only go out after dark and he is a major part of the show, then nearly all the scenes would have to be shot at night time which was just not practical. I think the team acknowledged that vamps should only be out at night but he had budgets etc. to think about.
Please stick with it .....you won't be sorry

Initially filming took place around our reception area which happens to be right by my office. Gorgeous George (or should I say Russell) had several takes there. During the afternoon they were outside our canteen using the corridor there for more hospital scenes. During one of my many visits to the canteen for coffee yesterday I met the beautiful one - he is DDG in real life.
Both the cast and crew were really friendly and accommodating - made my boring day exciting. Needless to say - not a lot of work was done by me yesterday.
I am really selective with my viewing and do not watch a great deal of telly. However, having watched series 1 on BBC3, I thought it ws excellent - best viewing in a long time - I cannot wait for Series 2 - apparently to be screened in Feb'10.

Being in the USA, and not being able to see the site's videos, I'm hoping that I can get the series on DVD. I will definitely want to see this from the beginning, although I noticed that someone mentioned the pilot not being included. Will that be available separately?
And I do like that Mitchell can go out during the day. Why should every Vampire Story keep them on night watch only!

The three main characters are delightfully likable and the actors who play them do so perfectly. I particularly enjoy watching the friendships that have developed between Annie, Mitchell and George. The three truly care for each other unconditionally, and to my delight, without sexual undertones. It is wonderfully refreshing! I also enjoy the humor that is intertwined in each episode. When does season 2 start?
