New to BH? This post does not contain spoilers, but the comments might...
Lights... camera... WEREWOLF!
Yes, it's the first few days of filming and the gang are back in Totterdown, Bristol, shooting top secret scenes for the new series. We caught up with Aidan and Russell at the end of the day to see how it felt to be back in the neighbourhood.

I won't continually go on about the beautiful one looking even more..well, beautiful.
Russell really makes me laugh.." you smell the same certainly "...he's so into the series and being with the others again..he's such a sweetie.
Liking the new look for Sinead ( Nina)..she's looking more sophisticated in this clip
What sort of job description involves stroking hair of the beautiful one and how do I apply for this job please on the BH crew?

I was at Bristol 2 days ago and wandered around Totterdown for a whole hour with the hope of finding some filming going on! I then wandered up and down Bath Road for a further two hours until I could find something, which I didn't! My feet are still aching!
(And yes, I was wearing some very Annie boots I got for £8 from Primark!)
Well, I don't have time to go back there for a long time, but if and when I do, Aidan, Russell and Lenora are getting big Valentino bags whacked in their faces for making me walk so much!
Still...have pity on me!

Season one spoiler warning!
So, Sinead's big hair, I'm assuming it's indicating a more sexual, more...animal Nina (although she was pretty sexual to start with *grin*). Guess this means that George definitely was the one to scratch her? (There has been speculation in some of the discussion groups I belong to that it may be a red herring and it was actually Mitchell scratched her. Or have I missed a blog and I should already know for definite?)
Bristol is only about an hour away from where I live, I'm sensing a road trip :)

i have a friend who lives in totterdown under orders to kidnap on sighting, but then again i've had a mob on command to lassoo johnny depp on sighting and drag him to my doorstep but unfortunately to no avail so far - so not holding my breath!! (thankfully i'm just joking here...)

That doesn't mean to say that te beautiful one won't reveal all again ( well, not all but you know what I mean) in some other British or Irish production as he's now viewed as HOT in the uk...mind you, I read somewhere recently that he's a little embarrassed now about his sex scenes in Desperate Romantics..I don't think he's a natural extrovert like Russell.
For all Americam cousins who haven't seen Desperate Romantics and therefore Rossetti in action...what a treat awaits if you get the DVD!
trined70..the street in Totterdown is Windsor Terrace and I don't think it was flats..I think it was a pub which has now been sold

I can't wait for Season 2 to start but I have no idea when that will be. I'm not sure when the television seasons begin and end in the UK. Can someone enlighten me as to how long I must wait, please? I've been reading the blog comments and find that though I speak English like all of you, I don't understand a lot of the "lingo" that you use. I also never knew that we spelled so many words differently. I find it amazing. Anyway, what does "get his kit off" mean? Also, during the season finale, Nina pulled up her sleeve to reveal scratch marks. Did George scratch her? Will she now be a werewolf, too?

I am so glad that the wee pilot that I saw on tv a few years ago (and entirely loved)was either popular enough, or was seen by Auntie to be worthy - was invested in. Damn it - I saw Firely and Farscape (both wonderful then, great characters, great scenarios, great effects..) dumped by the 'investors' - I felt as though my type of story and love of huaminty through 'unhuman' human tales would never be invested in again, especially given tightening of production purse strings. Pure joy! Thany you Aunty and thank you fine producers, script writers, and (dreamily) Senior Tovey.
Keep up the exceedingly fine work(and btw Sugar Rush was initially brilliant - no research on my behalf - but what are those writers up to now?)
Much apreciation and cudos, in a word of (mostly, even in the UK) entertainemnt poopy time waisting dross xx

Don't worry about other lingo...bloggers are not worried usually about spellings...there's litle difference between American/English spellings.Experienced bloggers ( not me...I was a blog virgin until earlier this year) have other language/symbols/shortcuts which I don't always get but just join in the fun and enjoy.
We're assuming that Nina as scratched by George and hence will have become a werewolf but...Toby is such a great writer that all I can think is 'expect the unexpected'

Why is that? I could see the episodes, as it takes awhile for them to get here and they don't want to undercut BBC America, but the making of vids and extras? Come on, give U.S. fans a break. (I also think it's unfair people outside the U.S. can't see vids on U.S. sites. Seriously, what harm could it do, and it excites the fans for more.)
