BBC3 will be transmitting a new series....I assume its a comedy called Being Human. All I know is that it is about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost.......sharing a house in Cardiff.

I've actually got high hopes for this as the cast is good and given BBC3's other comic output over the past couple of years, Gavin & Stacey, Pulling etc it has a fairly decent pedigree.

However, we shall see...............

Any idea when is is due to begin airing?

I saw the pilot last year and really enjoyed it even if the ending left too much standing ( I thought it was a new series not just a pilot). At least they are going to take it further now.
I am a bit concerned that only one of the original main characters is being played by the same actor but will reserve judgement.

No idea! I've only seen the trailers........coming soon. Hadn't even realised there had been a pilot.

I too reserve judgement but do have my fingers crossed

It wasn't bad. The guy who played the vampire is excellent - a very good actor. The actors playing the werewolf and the ghost weren't great. My only criticism is that it couldn't make it's mind up if it wanted to be a drama or a comedy. It needs to decide, it could work as either but not both.

I notice it is a BBC America co production so there is obviously some faith in the format. Hope episode 2 is as good

I watched it last night and enjoyed it. It was a bit darker than the pilot ( as far as I can remember) but it did have its funny moments

This starts on BBC America Saturday 25th July. As all the people that replied are British I assume that nugget of information to be superfluous

just need to watch the old series through again as I've forgotten what happens towards the end (brain injuries do that sort of thing, ALOT) :?

I liked the first series but i haven't got into this series at all. I watched the first episode but the new storylines didn't really grab me. I think im too busy with, dare i say it, **cough** Desperate Houswives **Cough cough**. Also celebrity big brother was still on so that got in the way too! I dont know why im writing this, i kept my big brother obsession quiet until now :oops: . Confessions of a tv addict!!
