Meh. I was really pleased about this coming back after the cracking pilot, and I've only just found out that Andrea Riseborough isn't returning, they're making it 'less gothic and funnier' and the rather attractive fey vampire bloke has been replaced too.

serenity, or anyone who is a bit more excited about it, come and enthuse me, I want to like it, but I've got a horrible feeling they're going to make 'Two Pints: The supernatural version' instead...

Love this show too! What a discovery. I think it beats anything else on at the moment. Watched all three episodes yesterday, having found it late on Saturday night! I've been bitten ...

Laughed at George howling like a wolf, doing the nurse doggy style. Even DP looked up from his book to snigger.

80s Gilbert was a great character.

Yes poor Annie- but we were waiting for that to happen weren't we?

Noone I know in rl has seen it! Other than grumpy DP, and i can't enthuse with him.

But how are they going to get past what happens in next week's trailer (the whole street turning against them)? I would have thought that would change the whole premise of the show, M+G would have to flee, etc.

And how does Annie resolve things to move on to next ghost level? Does she haunt Owen until he's driven to confess to the crime, or does she need to let go of him and fall for Mitchell, instead?

Can werewolf-ness be cured?
Coz I think the only out for Mitchell is to top himself (drive a stake thru his own heart?) and him and Annie skip thru the tatty door together after that.... But where would that leave Georgie-Wolfie?

ProfYaffle · 09/02/2009 19:02

Loved last night's episode, only 2 itchy episodes from the nurse. Geoge howling was soooo funny. Only 3 more episodes to go

iLikeDots · 10/02/2009 08:39

I love Being Human. I have a big thing for George - he's yummy. Except when there's a full moon around - then he just scares me ! Brilliant series.

plus3 · 10/02/2009 12:25

I love this programme too..saw the pilot at the time one of 6 pilots were going to be commisioned, and this completely stood out.

Love the cast changes - and last night's episode was wonderful, funny and touching. Thought Gilbert was fab (but then I am a smith's nerd) and wept when the door arrived for him.

MrsTweedy · 10/02/2009 21:39

I love this series too, it feels totally fresh whereas Demons seems to be a rehash of Buffy.

Gilbert was great, the door was so sad but right. Like the idea that the house was trying to tell them what happened to Annie. Maybe Annie has to save tango-face from a similar fate?

I absolutely love this series. Didn't see the pilot, but because of you all, I am off to youtube.com to remedy that.

RealityIsMyOnlyDelusion, I must say you are really good at figuring it out!!

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 14/02/2009 19:54

I BLOODY love this and am already mourning the end. I missed pilot so will look in youtube later

Mitchell is SOOO hot he can bite me anytime.

Did not get why the thong was hidden in the loo?

and in case the pilot doesnt cover his can anyone tell me how M and G met? I always though vamps and werewolfs were arch enemys??

I too watched Demons as big PG fan but what a load of shite

just hoping ashes to ashes is coming back but then mitchell will keep me going until then......

southeastastra · 14/02/2009 20:00

ooh i'm sure they said the next episode was online from tonight! off to look

Melscorp · 15/02/2009 20:19

Patiently counting down until the start of Being Human. Anyone else excited???

Valid point CHOCOLATEPEANUT. Does anyone know how they met? Now, you have me thinking.

I know!! I know!! I am SAD!! [BLUSH]

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 15/02/2009 21:28

I am sat here watching football on bbc three waiting for it to finish so i can start watching!!

i only caught up with part 2 of series 1 but managed to watch part 1 and pilot last night on laptop

there is a few discrepencies with pilot. In pilot georges girlfriend knows he is a werewolf yet in part 1 george tells annie about his girlfriend as if she never met her yet she saved her life in the pilot

i defo prefer new cast thou it was easier to believe that the old mitchell was 118 years old and the new one is too hip

I think that as the vamps can sniff out the werewolves that mitchell would have known and maybe sensed (as he does seem to sense things) that george was in conflict and needed help. George just says that they met and nothing else.

i looked up next weeks episode and see that mitchell goes back to the vamps...

wish this footie would bloody end they keep moving the schedule back,it was 9.20 and showing 9.30 now

MitchyInge · 15/02/2009 21:29

quick! it's about to start!

fryalot · 15/02/2009 21:31

ooooh! upsetting scenes!!!

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 15/02/2009 22:34

gutted

mitchell has acted out of character turning that boy

so what happens now? will he kill his mother?

TheArmadillo · 15/02/2009 22:44

I am really loving this. Even though I swore not to as was filmed outside my old house adn the filming was a PITA (and that's an understatement).

I can see my old house in most the shots - it's cool but really annoying when they start walking down the hill to go into town adn you think 'you're going the wrong bloody way'. And the house that mum and boy supposedly lived in is flats and that kinda thing I find it hard to get past.

I am liking it - much better than the pilot which was a bit ropey (yes I know pilots always are), but the new actors are much better.

Some of the storyline bits I have my doubts about but they seem to resolve it in a way I can deal with. And I like the funny bits.

Definately the new buffy.

fryalot · 15/02/2009 22:45

oooh, that was good

I am really loving this series, so glad I found it

Ripeberry · 15/02/2009 22:49

I was thinking the mother of Barney was so brave in letting her son be one of the others.
Can't wait for next week when the ghost gets to haunt Owen. Hope she scares him to death!

RIMOV

thanks for that excellent write up.

I take it Owen didnt see Annie thou.

Sounds like Mitchell is playing a double bluff.

Erm about next Sunday.....

edam · 16/02/2009 09:04

Ooh, so glad there's a thread on this, am loving it but worried that there are only two episodes to go (why did they make it a six-parter, not 13? Grrrr.)
