INSIDE THE CAGE

There's no better feeling than having the family back together. Annie's returned, the foursome have a new home and all seems back to normal.
Well, apart from the Lia's prophecy that Mitchell will be killed by a 'wolf-shaped bullet'. And George getting arrested for a public decency offence. And the news constantly reporting the box tunnel murders. And mysterious new werewolves in town. And vampires running organised supernatural vs human death matches.
Yeah apart from THAT it's all back to normal.
The cage fights were some of the biggest and most complex in Being Human history. Set in an abandoned swimming pool, the shoot had multiple cameras, hoards of extras and litres of that being human favourite - fake blood. Watch our exclusive behind the scenes video to see exactly what happened on this most chaotic of days, and find out how new actors Michael Socha (Tom), Robson Green (McNair) and Paul Kaye (Vincent) felt about becoming part of our supernatural family.
And now Being Human is back, tell us... What did you think?

What a cracker of a first episode. I can't even begin to imagine which werewolf kills Mitchell, oh actually I do...
Sinead and Russell just cracked me up in the police station. Ironic that he was arrested for, er, dogging? Sinead's expressions trying to fight off the urges were making me splutter into my drink. I can't imagine anyone doing those scenes the way she did them. The half-shut eye was the limit...so funny.
Mitchell and Annie...aww, nice ending! It was lovely seeing them back together. Him doing the emotional bit on the train with Lia...I wanted to shut her up and shout 'listen to him will you'..how mad is that! I actually welled up when they got back to the house and George was in tears then he was overjoyed and it all got terribly emotional and teary..blub..sniff...can't go on..

Kia Owen Dogging - Now that was the perfect thing to have him arrested for.
Sinead and Russell were excellent running down the road trying to fight the change.
I remember all their names I think he has quite a few more to learn now.
Words used
Fate and the long game back to season 1 episode 6 George and Mitchell meeting
"Fate was always playing the long game"
What else of the top of my head.
What will the revelation do for Mitchell - George and Nina relationship
Back to Sinead's Tour no wonder she took delight in pointing out the tea pot.

Just a big thank you to the cast and crew of Being Human. Seriously, thank you. I know it might seem a little sad to pin so much on a tv show, but it does mean so much to me, that after the year I've had, I can escape for a blissful hour each sunday for the next eight weeks into pure brilliance.

Wow! Really happy with the decision to move the location, gives us an excuse to have a brand new set of supporting characters.
Loved the Johnny Rotten vampire, "Stake and chips, anyone?" has to be the best final line ever spoken.
The full moon scenes were gripping as ever, Nina was awesome coming to get George out. Pergatory wasn't what I expected but it was very interesting as a way of making Mitchell feel a fraction of the hurt he has caused.
And what is this ... death by werewolf! :O It can't happen! Methinks they will show how this affects Mitchell, are they trying to make him distance himself from his friends? :O

However I'm not going to put too much faith in her 'prophecy'. I don't think we've been given any reason to trust what she says, assuming she's even who she pretends to be. When they were after Annie before they lied and played mind games. One of them took Annie's form to taunt her so 'Lia' might well not BE Lia.
For next week we see them taunting Mitchell through the TV. I just think they're messing with him, trying to get him to distrust George and Nina, drive a wedge between him an his friends. I wouldn't trust them to tell me the time of day.

My summary of the first episode:
(Mitchel saw a thing about stacy (lia) who he killed on the train with daisy this comes later) Lia was showing him these doors and he had to pick some and he talked to lia and then eventually came to the train where Lia told him he killed her and eventually mitchel said stuff and it got better, lia said he could have annie back but she told him that he will be killed by a werewolf, mitchell leaves meets annie and they hug,they get teleported back to wales where mitchel told annie that they moved there. They had a party and Geogre cryed and there were lots of hugs. This is where mitchell sees a thing on TV about lia but turns it off and ignores it then they mess about and have fun while annie gives a little *over voice speech*. There is also these other two werewolfs one gets kidnapped by a vampire and the other rescues him (note - If you watch the video in this blog it has about these two new werewolfs)

I love this series so much. Steak and chips, classic.
I must apologise to all Bristolians for stealing BH, but it was great to see places I know (OK, I'm in Cardiff, but it's as good as). I've been to that funfair, had tea in the that cafe (two of them!), walked along that front. And I've been to that hosptial so many times. It's just great to place-spot!
Pity Paul Kay was killed off, that would have been a great recurring character, but I am still waiting for Herrick and there would have been conflict there, I could feel it in my blood.
Interesting about George and Nina changing together and doing, erm, stuff. Does this mean than if two warewolves have a strong bond they won't fight each other? McNair and Son as well? Could this be why, all that time ago, George calmed down when he could smell Nina at the end of Series 1, just after he'd infected her? Not that she was a warewolf, but that she was Nina the warewolf? Hmmmmm...
I was nearly in tears when George told Mitchell to come back, Russell Tovey is so good.
BH, I missed you so much.

At 22:39 23rd Jan 2011, Mangogerbil wrote:I thought the episode was fantastic :) Truly worth waiting an entire year for. I wasn't too hot on last series, although it had its definite highlights, but this episode renewed a lot of my faith in the series.
I, admittedly, cannot judge the first 15 mins very accurately, because a family member was talking all the way through it, so I won't refer to it. However, when I was able to focus, it was wonderful. A good rich blend of storylines, with drama and gore mixed in with comedy. It was a lot darker than series 1, but it was just as well balanced. I've always loved Being Human's ability to be really gory or saddening and yet still make you giggle the next minute (Series 1 - Gilbert going through the door cutting to Nina and George in the throes of passion, anyone?). Nina and George were really funny this episode (and I never expected them to hurt one another for a second). Did anyone else find it ironic that the werewolf was caught dogging? Nina's fighting against the transformation was just hilarious, and I'm beginning to wonder if the pitter-patter of wolfbaby feet might be a prospect storyline. But yes, it grounded the story wonderfully. We needed a human story to balance out all the trauma of Annie/Mitchell and McNair, after all.
I loved the image of purgatory we got to see. It was all quite eerie. I was really interested in what we'd see last series, and although I wanted to see more, I enjoyed what I saw. It's pretty much what I figured it would be like. It was very clever bringing back the victims of the train though, it seems Mitchell's crimes are coming back to bite him metaphorically and literally. It was sadistically intriguing watching Mitchell break down... Lia did make me question my view that he is a good guy. What are a hundred major sins against good intentions? Talk about creepy. I'm interested to see how this will effect Michell's character, not just the plotline, because he's having to completely rethink his life and self. I loved how Lia, a very human and completely-unangelic character, was the one to lead him through it, it was nice we didn't have a pure and holy guide, it would have made the whole thing much too serious XD A brilliant bit of writing there :) I only wish the scene in the train had gone on longer.
McNair's storyline was cool and pretty chilling, but since he isn't established yet (and because the interruptions stopped me from listening to all the things that went on in the beginning), I couldn't feel much towards him. George being locked in a prison cell while transforming was more worrying because I love him. Still, it was chilling nevertheless, and I seriously felt for the poor guy locked in the cage with him. He never stood a chance :( I was slightly sad the ringmaster dude was killed though, he looked like he could have been interesting... On the whole, I don't have a solid opinion yet. I'll tell you how I feel about them next episode.
So yeah, wonderfully written and acted all round. I was thoroughly pleased :) I can't wait to see how it all pans out. It's hooked me again. And I want to rewatch the episode in the dark, alone so I can actually hear all the plotline tomorrow XD
No, I'm not fond of long posts at all... I always have too much to say.

Could a warewolf shaped bullet be a silver bullet meant for George that Mitchell takes through the heart? That's his trade off for Annie? Lia liked riddles, and Mitchell being killed by a warewolf may be a bit too obvious. Or am I just in BH overdrive?
OK, someone call the men in white coats...

These werewolf baby things are interesting, I reckon it would definitely get the werewolf gene if it was concieved in their wolf states.
I kind of had an inkling Nina and George's wolves wouldn't kill eachother becuase if you remember at the end of series 1 George's wolf just stared at her.
So that's nice for them. :)
Oh yeah that reminds me: Does Tom using the chicken on a string trick meant he met/ his dad met Tully?
Could Tully have even converted one or both of them?

And I should head to bed...after a quick rewatch on iplayer *cough* but my final parting comment is just another reason to love Annie. After all she'd been through in purgatory, with the chance of being reunited with Mitchell and escaping, she stops to ask Lia what happened to her. Sweet or what?
Signing off, if I fail to return, enjoy it my fellow BHers! We have it back!
