Being Human

[Ben Weldon]

Being Human is a 2008 comedy-drama pilot episode on BBC 3, starring Guy Flanagan, Andrea Riseborough, Russell Tovey and also featuring Adrian Lester. It features three twenty-something characters trying to live a normal social life, despite being a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf respectively. Its pilot episode was broadcast at 9pm on 18 February 2008 as part of the re-branding of the channel, and a decision is forthcoming as to whether it will be commissioned for a full series.

Anyone see the pilot on BBC3 on Monday? It was absolutely fantastic. I wasn't sure if it could work given the premise, but it just shows you how a good imagination and good writing can make something like this work.

It was quite dark and also had a healthy dose of humour. The balance between the two was spot on I thought. I hope it gets picked up for a series.

I watched two minutes then turned over to watch Kiss of the Dragon. It didn't grab me.

That sounds incredibly dumb.
