    Any fans of "Being Human"?

    I like this BBC series a lot.
    A werewolf, a vampire and a ghost share a house, and take a stab at just "being human".
    Once a month, the werewolf go for his monthly transformation in the woods (in glorious oldschool American Werewolf style, no CG).
    The vampire works in a hospital (plenty of blood).
    And the ghost is so "unterrifying", she just keeps the team in tea and biscuits.

    It's funny, it's serious.
    It's "what would you do if you really were a supernatural being"?

    The emphasis is on their human persona, but now and then you get "the full monty", like when George goes all-out bad wolf on an opponent.

    Give it a try....

    I watched a few of the first episodes on BBC On-Demand and loved it....Unfortunately I forgot about it and never got in to watching it regularly

      Don't know the show, but it sounds interesting

        Sounds cool. I'm gonna have to check it out.
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          It's on TV right now. BBC3.
          Though you just missed the episode with the werewolf boobs.

          There's another thing you don't say too often....

              Yeah.
              Look at this great idea. Terrific scripts. Wonderful performances.
              Right. Let's change all that and just keep the title, shall we?
              Groan...

              SyFy is like syfilis.
              It all starts as very exciting, but afterwards you're left with just regrets and an uncomfortable itch.
              Or so they tell me. Ahum....
