Being Human fans - please can you tell me the backstories I've missed in series 1 and 2?

[deaconblue]

I'm really into series 3 but haven't seen the previous 2 so I want to know:
was it George who turned Nina into a werewolf?
How did George and Mitchell meet?
are werewolves killed with a stake too?
and anything else that will be important as the series goes on

1. Yes.
2. I think they met in a cafe - I think Mitchell protected George from getting beaten up. But I might have imagined that.
3. Don't think so. Well. Apart from the fact that they get a big bit of wood through their heart so they might feel a bit peaky. How werewolves die has never really been discussed. Silver bullet isn't it?!

In twilight the vampires just rip werewolves apart I think (well they try to but don't succeed).
So did George scratch her by accident then?

Were George and Nina together when he was turned into a werewolf or did he meet her later?

Was the train thing recent or pre knowing the others?

How did they know Anna before she died?

Sorry, I missed series one and two as well!

yes george scratched hr by accident. he feels imeasurably guilty over it.

no he wasn't with Nina when he was turned

no the others don't know about teh box tunnel 20.

they lived in the flat above/below anna and her boyfriend.

No - after Annie died , Owen (was that his name?) put the house up for rent -Mitchell and George moved in .Annie was there as that's where she died (Owen pushed her down the stairs)

Buy them - so worth the money.

ahh yes that was it.
i need to have a refresher weekend of dvd viewings i thing

also, you may not have noticed this, but mitchell is extremely handsome

i certainly hadn't noticed it at all, and have never had to be restrained from licking the tv. oh no. not at all.

You can buy Series 1 and 2 on dvd and they are really cheap. A box set of both series is on Play.com for just under a tenner! Here you go

A wise investment I think . . .

p.s you can watch series 1 and 2 via www.sidereel.com look for the megavideo links. hth

thanks all, I shall invest in series one and two I think. Do you know what though? I think Mitchell is a bit, well, grubby looking

ditto shopping he needs a good shave, haircut and maybe suit and tie, then would be wow!!!

Hey shoppingbags... major spoilers if you haven't seen the previous series follow!

George dated Nina as they both worked at the same hospital but she had no idea he was a werewolf. Meanwhile, Herrick, who is in next episode, was organising all the vampires whilst holding down a job high up in the police. There was a conspiracy where police used vampires to tidy up cases, e.g. get rid of repeat offenders whilst simulataneously covering up for vampire messes/feeds. Herrick goes way back with Mitchell, from when he was seriously bad and lived for the kill. Mitchell went 'good' and split off from Herrick but they were still on speaking terms, Herrick trying to lure Mitchell back to the blood. Meanwhile Herrick was orchestrating a plan to enslave humans as a food source for vampires, and so Mitchell decided he had to die, and George agreed to help. Herrick was thrown into George's werewolf holding room with George as he changed, Nina burst in but was dragged out as the door slammed, but George caught her with his claws. And that's how Nina found out her boyfriend was a werewolf and got turned, and how Herrick died.

Mitchell then took up where Herrick left off as the vampires needed organising to stop uncontrolled killing sprees happening that would expose vampires to rest of society, but he failed to convince them to give up blood. One girl, Cara, killed two teenagers and was condemned to death with her teeth pulled out by Mitchell, but he secretly didn't go through with it and left her shut in a dungeon instead. Mitchell enlisted another 'celebrity' vampire to give up blood to encourage the others to stick with it, but a human cult type-thing blew up their meeting, killing this celeb vampire (whose name I forget). Mad with grief and out for revenge, Mitchell and the celeb vampire's wife/girlfriend, Daisy, attacked and killed the passengers on the "Box tunnel" train. Mitchell was then wracked with regret, and gave up his position as leader. Cara and Daisy tried to revive Herrick by spilling their blood on his grave... and evidently it worked...

Ivan - Daisy and Ivan

Another question here from one here who is enjoying series 3 but didn't (yet) see 1 and 2

I am a bit confused about Annie. I know she is a ghost but what determines whether others can see her? Is this her choice or is it that any other "undead" or Unusual beings can see her?

And can they feel her? Maybe I am a bit slow on the uptake here but is that was the problem when she and Mitchell were trying to make love.

I think only supernatural beings can see Annie. Yes although Mitchell can see her he can't feel her, hence the sex problem

es, only other supernaturals can se Annie. After she died she haunted everyone else out of the house until George and Mitchell moved in (and yes, Mitchell saved George from being beaten up) and saw her, hence becomeing friends.
Long running joke as well where Annie makes endless cups of tea, even though she can't drink it herself.

Last series she did get a job in a pub and was able to be seen by members of the puiblic, can't rememebr 100% why, but I think it was after she didn't go through her death door (remember what Mitchel went through with the dead man in the first episode?)
She refused to go through and became very powerful, but the people on the other side of the door (Lia etc) wanted her to go through and 'haunted' her through radio/television, much as they are doing to Mitchell now.
She ended up being dragged through thanks to a creepy priest man who was trying out a cure for werewolves (that ended up killing them) Mitchell murdered everyone the priest was working with to rescue George and Nina from the experiment and then Annie dragged the priest man through a door, big no no.

See if you can fine Annie's broadcasts from the other side on the Being HUman website, seriously spooky.
