And the second Being Human post today: It's the midweek preview and it's only a couple of days until the final episode (of Series 1 but, as we now know, not of the show as a whole.) The preview clip is spoilerific about last week's cliffhanger so I'm putting it
behind a cut.

And the press release about the episode is even more spoilery so
proceed with caution.Vampire Mitchell is in hospital following the almost-fatal attack on him, as BBC Three's drama about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost reaches a thrilling conclusion. Once recovered, and believing it to be his destiny, Mitchell becomes determined to fight Herrick, no matter what it takes.
Meanwhile, Annie chooses to try to save Mitchell, having rejected the opportunity to "pass over". The decision seems to give her newfound powers.
Mitchell does not want his best friends involved in the inevitable showdown with Herrick and the vampires, but Annie bravely decides that she cannot just stand by without doing anything.
George, meanwhile, is facing a huge dilemma of his own: should he try to help Mitchell or should he flee and try to start a normal life with Nina? He has to choose between his friend and his lover. The lure of a normal human life is so strong, but George also knows that this may be the one time in his life Mitchell needs him not be a coward - to stand up and be counted.
As this series of Being Human comes to an end, the three friends face the toughest decisions they have ever faced as they stand on the brink of their destinies.
Aidan Turner stars as Mitchell, Jason Watkins as Herrick, Lenora Crichlow as Annie, Russell Tovey as George and Sinead Keenan as Nina.
One thing I won't miss when the show's over: The scheduling. 9pm on Sunday means if it's a particularly good episode I get all excited and take ages to get to sleep, then spend Monday in a coma. Saturday next year like it deserves please, BBC3.
