Live Blog. Ep 4: A Spectre Calls

Cannot Wait :)

Kirby's foot blocking death's door means he's baaaaaaaaaaaaaad.



Re. Hal and Fergus in a war: the Crimean, one of the first wars to be photographed...

WOOF, LINK REPAIRED



@mistress denton

thank you



yes that smile, that smugness, 'I know something you don't'



even Nancy cop was not that smug



that ghost knows somewthing... what??



can we torture him????

OOOOH!!!! Excited, not been on the blog for a few days so will have to have a catch up soon. As for Kirby, he looks like a wrong 'un!!!!

Now the count down begins in Earnest very Important that.

2- On the topic of Hal/Fergus and being photographed (or not as the case may be) I've always wondered why vampires clothes become invisible along with them? Surely it would be more logical if the clothes just appeared to be empty?



And yes, Kirby definitely looks like he's up to something here! That look pretty much defines sneaky smugness!

I agree with you SAINTIXE56

6 - I thought that would be in episode 6.

I am kind of hoping that Kirby is a good guy, I think he would be quite an interesting character. But I do have a feeling that he's a bad guy and probably has some kind of dreadful agenda.

Is kirby friend or foe will soon find out :)

One hour to go till Kirby knocks on the door.

Never trust a man wearing that many prints, I don't care if he died in the seventies! He is definitely up to no good.

Prepared to eat my words in 45 minutes time!

"Whats that got to do with it?"



Grrr i wana hit something time goes so slow

I think Kirby is a mask for someone else and thats not really him... like hes a avatar? He appears to desparately want to get under everyones skin as their best friend just to irritate them. His clothes certainly irritate me... bet he has a tank top on. OK Im secretly jealous. I want a tank top! Stripes!Eminantly fantastic to keep your back warm!

im looking forward to hearing james lances voice, its so relaxing! its funny how the way people talk affects your judgement on them. you would think butter wouldnt melt with kirby-cant wait to watch this episode!

I bet Kirby will be troubling but then just turn out to be a troubled guy who really just needs their help or maybe i've had too much tea..

Finally reading An Inspector Calls in English actually comes in handy. Really looking forward to the characterisation in this Ep if the title is anything to go by and I have the feeling that Kirby is the type of person I will love to hate!

Just starting my pre-Being Human ritual of tidying everything and getting cosy for Ep 4!!!

I don't trust that ghost. Nothing about him makes me think "Oh I'm sure he will be helping our trio and Eve". I'll be keeping a close eye on you [:/

I agree with you Weekoony

30 Mins

19. and many others, dont trust kirby and recommend kill someone soon to chuck himback through the door. Hope Annie uses her super-powers to send him, his bad bad wig and Glassed packing....

Should be revising but this is much more fun! Theres something about Kirby I just don't trust he seems to good to be true. Anyway we'll find out his real intentions in 27 minutes.

26 mins...............................................................................................

23mins.............................................................................................. :P

you know i think kirby might turn out ok in the end. he could change the error of his ways.



time to put the cat out and all that!

20 mins... arghhh.... can't stand it!



And who forgot to buy the chocolate? I did. :(



Evening All! Evening Mods!

20 mins, desperately waiting in eager anticipation!!!

19mins..................................................

7 RentAGhost, im guessing it is like when Annie hides Eve (cant remember the name Pearl gives it). If its on the person it doesnt show up.



Can't wait now!!

Shall we think about who could be the person who has a burnt arm is...I think it'll be either Cutler or Kirby, although i think Kirby will be too obvious.



18 Mins!!!!! :-)

Time to start watching young farmer of the year? 16 mins!

I hope we get to see a lot of Hal and Tom hanging out together, I'm really loving the dynamics of their friendship (well not quite a friendship but whatever), they're a very entertaining pair, extremely different in someway but very similar in other ways, hope to see more of them in just 16minutes!!!

@Manc i've not got chocolate, ive got cherry coke bottles tonight, and ive already opened them. :(

Looking forward to more Team Cutal, and hoping for some more topless Hal!! ;)

15 mins!

15 mins!!!!!

Wheres the junk food?!

Hope we get some Cutler aswell this week, need some more quotes!

Yay more Team Cutal that would be fantastic! 13 mins

34. Im still loving 'they've eaten my focus group' and fergus with 'yeah we skipped lunch' hahaha fave quote



'I had a shield...a red one' Remember this is not a euphamism (On twitter)

@lozzie 33. i think we get a treat and see hal doing some huffy press ups or something like that!

37. I really hope so! :)

Right Im going to get a good seat before it starts (along with my sweets)! See you at 10.



8 mins!

I'm going over to iplayer now. See you on the other side...

I'm off now see you all later, eeeeek to excited for words!

I'm off - catch you when it's all over :-0

Comfy seat time Trend Baby Trend

Evening bloggers...very much looking forward to episode 4 and Kirby's story for good or nay....is he only in this episode?....if so I'm wondering what his story is adding to the overall story arc?....maybe it's more about Annie realising her potential.

I'm also looking forward to seeing more of Hal and his sword..and red shield...in some future episode.....

Coffee at the ready, on the sofa, tucked up in a blanket. Bring on Episode 5!

oops Episode 4 finger slipped!

He's trying to mess things up and twist everything around!!! Evil! EVIL!!!

"under my wing" .....creepy!

he was having a !!! Love the tank top! Poor tom 21!!

Hello bloggers very new to this blog but seriously this is the funnyest episode so far :-)

:O in the old days I would have used a knife?!?

Gay Hal! Hilarious!!Loving the tank top! WOA Kirby is evil, but actually really amazing to find out ghosts can give people heart attacks. xxxx

Yep kirby is a bad sort and a real bad spirit. Maybe a serial killer? Annies not stupid and can cope with anything hal can throw at her.

Murderer! He's killer! And he's done it more than once! Grr! Me no likey!

Kirby's been there five minutes and already wrecking the place please make this his only episode!!!

he is soo creepy!

awww poor tom!

Hal's arm burned by Tom's blood?

Kirkby...creepy as hi tank top

GREAT as per usual one of the best if not THE best programme going :-)

Yes! Arm! Best one yet! Still wonder about cutler and bt20. Is it still just about disinformation. Next week looks great too.

Good grief - I actually got something right. It was Future Woman who sent Kirby back to the house. Woopee! And he was bad, bad, bad. Most of us got that.



Now Hal's arm. Well that is something we should worry about, or is it?

Wow! What an Ep! That was brilliant!



57 oooh yes! Oh that is clever!



Hello Tony and welcome to the blog!

OMG! best episode yet, Hal's arm is burnt, i hope it doesnt turn out to be him who kills eve...



I love his new clothes!!! :)

I think I'm genuinely going to have nightmares about Kirby tonight, what a creep!



Incidently, did anyone else find it simply hilarious that Hal carried on after 100 press-ups? I just found it so funny and I don't know why.



Great plot twist that Hal was burned by Tom's blood though. I thought at first that it had just gone on his knuckles or something when he punched him, but I'll have to watch again tomorrow and look closer to see if any landed on his arm.



Anyways, night bloggers :)

Oooh err - new all powerful Annie - liked that a lot!

Excellent Dancing Mr Lance

Ok all I can say is Thank God Kirby Is Gone. I absolutely hated him and was on the verge of hating this whole episode.... until Kirby's dance scene. I gotta say for an evil guy he has got some moves. And Annie's amazing return, I knew she had the power she just has to use it more.



I do have one problem with the episode. I don't believe that Annie and Tom would let Kirby in to the house so easily. But all in all pretty good episode and I can't wait to see Adam next week :)

Best episode yet. Tom and Hal with the doctor....thought I was going to wee myself laughing. Poor Hal at the end though, Regus must have been wrong...please!! Lord T you really are a genius.

I hope Hal doesn't kill Eve! Pretty sure that's a red herring or misinterpretation of the 'scroll'. Brilliant episode, frustrating - I was screaming at the TV when Annie caught Hal in the attic. Hope we see more Cutler next time, love his character. Oh, and Adam's back! Should be interesting to see how he and his new lover interact with the newbies!

Omg I just wanted 2 hug both Hal and Tom when the tear ran down Hal's face and when Tom started crying on his bed.. I cnt believe Hal is the one with the burnt arm.. that means.. no.. no he cnt

Excellent episode with a brilliant twist at the end. I really hope they've all mis-read the scrolls and it's talking about another baby entirely.

Wheres Tom get to with them plates?



Good ep, dont Like Tom having cutlers number in his pocket - would he ever trust a vampire?



Will we have and ep without Tom and Hal fighting?



Glad to see Annie nailing Kirby.

I BLOOMING KNEW IT! IT'S HAL!

Didn't you love the dance routine. I was LOL at that. Absolutely superb.



Yeah, Hal did shout to Tom about his toxic blood! I will not believe that Hal will do Eve any harm. No. I . Will . Not . Unless Eve is evil in which case that's ok by me :-)

Bonus scene Annie and Hal

on the new blog



----------->

73 - No it won't be Hal - it really, really, won't be Hal. Trust Hal I tell you, trust him. He is a good vampire - yes he is.

ok new poster but i had to sign up, need to get in on the discussion!



felt genuine anger when Kirbie was killing Annie



also a few observations and questions



did anyone else think that Future! Woman looked/seemed sad when she heard Annie had gone. another clue towards her being Eve possibly?



Also Cutler is clearly trying to set it up to look like the poor guy that got framed for the box tunnel was a werewolf right?



And I don't believe for a second that Hal is the Nemesis its got classic BH misdirection written all over it in my opinion

hello mancvamp thanks very much and i did wonder when we would see powerful annie again it was like she forgot what she was able to do from series 2 now another long week till the next show :-(

76 - My thoughts exactly.



74 - yes! I loved that scene, was dancing in my chair while watching.



I'm hoping there's more to the scroll around the burnt arm bit. There is, afterall, other symbols around it that haven't been explained. Plus there's nothing in that area that says "death". Maybe they've misread it and it means protect.

That trully was the worst episode of Being Human ever. It was disjointed and poorly strung together, it was so weak and lame it could of easily been an American programme. Like when you put a dying animal out of it's misery, DON'T make another series if it's going to go down this path. Something that was once so excellent has fallen so far. FACT!!

or maybe series 1 i forget been so long !!

I'm puzzled - when Annie hugs / is hugged by one of the other characters, what exactly are they touching ? Her body has been in the graveyard since the first episode. (For that matter, what exactly is holding the baby ?) And has she really not changed her clothes yet ? Yuk !

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo it cannot be hal ................. there maybe another vampire ect that has a burn :/

77 - I can always re-post my guess on Cutler's plan.

I think it's too little too late for Annie. She was meant to get stronger after series 2 but she languished as a character. She appeared to be getting weaker in the first 3 episodes and a mere caricature of her older self and then suddenly the rather laughable strength tonight. As i say the writing for this series has really suffered.

I couldn't stop laughing when Hal and tom pretended to be gay, i saw it coming but the tank top was just hilarious. I love the series, just wish the episodes were longer! an hour is not long enough!!!

Finally had to get involved... Hi everyone been loving reading the blog comments!

It seems Eve has misenterpreted the meaning of the last peice of scroll and thinks the only way to stop the vampire conquest of the world is to never grow up and become the war child, therefore popping up via TV or sending evil serial killers to kill her(baby Eve) before the War starts!!

I have spent ages pondering the scrolls so far and they are surely stories that we have seen, as it suggests. But scary man with arm injury has to be Hal? Loved the comedy this week! BH is pure genius and waayyy better than the US version, sorry guys but I had to see how they measured up and they Dont.

Cant wait for next week!!

84 - i'd like that, always good to have more than one brain on a speculation

77- I didn't really make the connection between the lie about there being human flesh in the supposed box tunnel 20 murderer's stomach and werewolves, but now I see it! Interesting...VERY interesting...

80 : The episode wasn't that bad, my thinking was that it was to show that Blondie will go to any lengths to kill Eve including sending someone back from Purgatory. I actually quite liked it, although I thought Kirby was a paedophile when he was with the kid in 1975.



Hal cannot be the burnt arm man! There goes my wishful thinking that it was Ivan coming back, although we haven't seen the whole set of scrolls so there could be another.........couldn't there................please? I'll make Lord Toby as many cups of tea as he likes just to have Ivan back..............even just for one episode.............*cute Annie smile* I am loving Hal more and more each week, he has his own rota! And when he was crying remembering everyone he'd killed I swear I just wanted to jump through the tv and hug him! Can't wait for next week and the return of Adam!

89 - I was sort of disappointed when I made the connection...I kind of like Cutler.



90 I think Ivan has a bit more than a burnt arm :P

88 -

Cutler's Plan.



Now from the trail for next weeks episode I thought that perhaps 'Jason Healy' could have been a werewolf. That had been caged then released by the Vampires only to be gunned down. Now here is another point, Mitchell and Daisy had their little Rampage on a Full Moon. Now as we clever bloggers know if indeed the Box Tunnel had been the work of a Werewolf then things would have been different.



1.Cloths found near the scene.

2.When the Maintenance man arrived – if still at night a trapped werewolf would of torn his head off.

3.Werewolves show up on camera – Strange shadowy form was not seen.

4.The bodies were mutilated but not eaten.



These are things that PR boy Cutler is going to change as I see it.



1.Random report added to or evidence of cloths found. To explain how they found Mr Healy.

2.Time of Maintenance man's arrival with possible removal of witness.

3.A bit of Jiggery Pokery on the video.

4.Reports change when the police change.



This is what He's going to do. Shift the species blame. A few more well placed stories/set ups and we have torches and pitch forks pointing in the wrong direction as the back of the mob is picked off one by one.

92 - good to see we're on the same page then, that's pretty much where i'd got with it. I'm not sure why he befriended Tom though..any ideas?

Well... that's all the good work from last week totally undone.



- Tom is NOT a main character. He's a good character but very one dimensional.

- Hal reads about the box tunnel 20 one minute, next scene he's talking to the writer of the piece. What?!!!!

- The LOOK of this series is poor. In series 3 Honolulu heights was a character in itself, and the look as a whole was cinematic. Now it just looks like any old drama on telly.

- Kirby, like Michaela was just too full on. What happened to the subtlety in characters?



On the positive:

- i like how the house is divided and learning to trust eachother

- I'm still interested in a lot of the themes in this series but the execution of it has a lot to be desired.

Keep your enemies close or it's just a set up.

@ewan



Cutler is a lawyer

Yes he is but he knows how to use evidence, added to that I wrote the plan nearly a week ago before I knew what his job is.

Am I being thick or is the young woman on the TV a future version of the war child ?

She seemed to get emotional when Kirby mentioned Annie tonight - she is the woman who attacked herself right ?

94 yekim_Mikey - I couldn't of summed it up better myself. You've nailed it. The series is not completely awful but has fallen a long way from when it used to be brilliant. The story lines are weak and thrown together without the strengths it once had. If this is what is termed as "evolving" and Character/plot development" then I bless all who chose to sail in this Titanic of a 4th series.

98 - it appears so but I'm betting on epic misdirection
