Werewolves and Vampires and Ghosts
Did anyone see Being Human on BBC 3 last night or any evening this week? If not, I thouroughly recommend it. It's on again on Monday and Tuesday and of course on iPlayer.
Here's the BBC blurb:
Contemporary supernatural drama about George and Mitchell, a pair of perennial outsiders. Working in the anonymous drudgery of the local hospital, they live lives of quiet desperation - because Mitchell is a vampire and George is a werewolf. Deciding to turn over a new leaf, they move into a house together, only to find that it is haunted by Annie, the ghost of a woman killed in mysterious circumstances. As a threesome, they deal with the challenges of being supernatural creatures, bonded by their desire to adopt the lifestyle of their neighbours - humanity.
Anyway, I watched it last night and it was very good; witty and sweet and original. There was even a scene where they discussed what Hogwarts houses they would be in. :) I'm pretty sure it was just a one off, but I think it would make a great series.
Of course, this does mean I've reached the pretty worrying state of affairs where I'm watching stuff just because it's about werewolves...
