Has anybody else been watching this on BBC3?

It's a little cliched in places, but generally it's been pretty good - well written and very watchable.

All of the episodes are currently on BBC iPlayer if anybody fancies giving it a go.

Yes I have, I missed last nights, but will catch up on that tonight. I found it good to watch and quite funny in places. As you say a bit cliched, but overall quite original for the Beeb.

Generally I've been really impressed with BBC3 - it's been a real creative breeding ground for new drama and comedy that wouldn't have fitted with either BBC1 or 2. There've been a few misses amongst their stuff, but, overall, it really is very high quality.

Have you *told* them that? They'd appreciate all the support they can get.

They'll need it after the correspondence they've been getting from me lately.

I liked seeing my old familiar territory in the opening scenes - Park Street and College Green in Bristol, but I don't like the violence.

I do like this although the pilot was much funnier and this is a little darker. It is good though and BBC 3 have done some very good work

Brilliant episode tonight, building towards a nice series-end cliff-hanger and with some corking lines ...

I loved the

"If I'd known it would get all Andy Mcnab I wouldn't have bothered" line.

Best episode yet and so glad Owen got it. I wonder what she said.

Ha, digging up old threads and resurrecting them.

Series 2 starts at 9:30 on Sunday, if anybody didn't know.

This has been a public service announcement, have a great evening and remember to get your pets and werewolves neutered.

9 o'clock tonight.

I can't understand why it keeps getting trailed as a "Comedy drama" though, not many laughs in it!

I think it's quite funny as well, albeit in a very dark sense. Tonight's episode was excellent - I certainly never expected Wogan to do a cameo on the show.

Was it good? I gave up after the last series, I tried last weeks, but I was disappointed in the first episode and couldn't really see what they were going to do, apart from do a Lost / Hero's on it and drag it for 12 more series without ever closing!

I must say after tonight's episode I'm staggered at how well this series is shaping up. Aside from the slightly off comedy execution bit at the opening tonight's programme was a masterpiece of brilliant scripting, comic timing and superb performances.

The king is dead, long live the king!

I've not been watching this as we missed the first one. My wife is certain it will be shown on BBC1 once BBC3 has finished with it. I hope she's right.

I found I could take or leave the first series (but still watched it) as it was a bit to light compared with the excellent pilot. However this series has been very good, they have made it much darker again but not lost the comedy either. All in all a very watchable show.

You probably already knew that it got binned after the pilot but reprieved due to audience pressure, so it is OUR BBC after all (unless of course you don't want Chris Evans on Radio 2 wink ).

This thread is of the undead, and cannot die.

OMG I missed this as well as Top Gear - the IPlayer will get some stick tonight!!

My son bought me the first series as a box set DVD for XMas; I'd forgotten how good it was, compared to a lot of the dross on at the moment (Zen excluded; fun and clever)

Being Human is great. Glad to see it back. Very dark first episode, and great writing. Can't wait for the rest of the series, but I guess I'll have to.

You know what AndrewR, i'm stunned you posted this, from what i've read of your posts/comments over the years on here, i'm astonished you have the patience or interest in such drivle.

Guess you learn something everyday, or everyday is a school day etc.

shocked

I'm surprised by your surprise, Shiny. I think that Being Human is one of the real triumphs to come from the BBC's use of BBC Three as a bed for new creative talent.

It's a good concept that has been uniformly well acted with intelligent and funny scripts and a broad range of appeal. What's not to like about it?

Robson Green? In a serious BBC series? And I quite like him in it?

What is going wrong?
