BEING HUMAN USA
The rumour mill is working overtime with talk of an American remake of Being Human so we here at the BH Blog thought we'd get to the bottom of it. We spoke to Executive Producer Rob Pursey and asked for the latest news...
"You've probably heard that there will be an American version of Being Human. We think it's a testament to the power of our series that another version will happen. It will be different, though it will be recognisable. We hope it will be brilliant, and we hope you like it when it comes. But it won't affect the show we are making here and now."
Writers, casting and storylines are yet to be confirmed, but you can expect thirteen episodes coming to American screens soon. And don't worry, it's not going to impact on the British show so you can still expect a full quality second series when it airs here in the UK at the start of 2010.

yeah but they'll probably cast really really hot actors that are all looks and not much else. Or choose to do another 'supernatural style' show. NONONO
You canot recapture, beat or even equal our version with our fab cast. There will be no other Mitchell!

I have one BIG question- why?
It's not as if there aren't enough paranormal American vampy programs around atm. It's not as if they are short on ideas from writers.
It's not as if the UK version hasn't been welcomed and very well received in America. Look at the weirdness that is True Blood. We don't need subtitles for that, we don't switch off because it's from a different culture to ours.
I will watch and hope it doesn't epic-ly fail. Will be fascinated to see if they pull off the humour like ours does... we'll see...

This makes no sense to me....they've already shown BH1 on BBCAmerica which, as far as I know, went down a storm...so why would they recast for BH2?....or is this another channel doing an entire remake? ( like they did with The Office)
I guess this is to do with setting the story in an american town....but we don't attempt to rest the US shows imported into ireland/Britain
I'm betting all those who watched BH1 on BBCAmerica will not be thrilled at this news.....yeh it's the scripts..but it's also the fantastic Irish/British cast and crew which make the show the best thing put out by BBC in years.
No.don't get this at all....still, as Rob says...won't affect the Brit show ..
Anyway...for those of you who missed it....there was a vid posted her today..second half of the Hallowwen vid with Russell, lenora and Aidan..check it out!

Thankyou for the update Mr Pursey and thanks too for keeping us fans informed, our BH Blog angels. They do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... however, I confess that I still have my reservations, I'm afraid. Perhaps i'm like you Racey hunyn and too loyal.
I'm with you on all those questions, Superochre (hi again by the way! *hugz* Nice to see you blogging again) - and I have one observation/question to add.
Instead of going off and remaking an already absolutely pitch-perfect show, wouldn't it be better for American seriesmakers to invest their time and money in all that wonderful screenwriting talent thats out there and making something just as original and engaging as Being Human or another comparable "genre" show (not that I can think of one as good right now)?
:D KC

Urgh. This is such a bad idea. I hate it when America steals our shows and remakes them. I mean look at the failure that was Life On Mars. Terrific British show, completely s- American one. And going back a little way Doctor Who anyone? yeah it's had a rocky past but I think we can all agree that the American movie was much worse than even the worst of the British stuff.
So really America should come up with original ideas for tv shows. Not just steal ones from us and remake them. Never turns out good.
Sorry to rant everyone.

Urgh, no. Copying's just being lazy. It won't work. How would they cast it? The script will be appauling and the commedy will no doubt be slapstick, terrible, and spelt-out as ever. Can't the writers in America just keep coming up with original, exciting stuff like 'Six Feet Under', 'True Blood', 'In Treatment'.... etc etc.

I can't help but feel that it is a gigantic waste of time, money and writing talent. They could put their energies elsewhere and let the UK version flourish.

In general, I'm not against remakes and re-imaginings. On occasion, they can produce great television. All in the Family? Great American show that happened to be a remake of a British show. Or Battlestar Galactica? Not a British show, but kind of the same idea.
However, I must admit that my gut reaction to Being Human being remade in America was not exactly positive (and I say this as an American). Because even though there are good remakes every once in a while, the odds are just not in its favor.
I hope its brilliant, but I'm not honestly expecting much. :\

BH TEAM: Thanks for clarifying this...it's a bit weird; why would they want to 'copy' something that's just brilliant as it is? Americans are intelligent enough to work out the accents - we have to do the same for their TV shows and we don't complain too much about that - so, unless there's another reason for this, I don't get it....you can't make another Aidan/Mitchell, George/Russell and Lenora/Annie partnership anywhere like this...I'll watch it but frankly I'm a bit taken aback by this and just can't see it working.

Thanks for this blog team - let nobody say that you dont listen to us :-) glad to know it wont impact on our show at all.

Eagle: No I was never able to come. Work commitments, and theres so much stuff thats happened in the last few weeks that I wouldn't be able to make it even if work did allow.
& Ewwwww. Why is there a US version. Just No. Broadcast BH2 in the States, don't make a whole new one. They love it for the actors and the British-ness of it all. The US one will not have as good as actors or storylines and will bascially be a rip off.
Yes, it's a testament to the show, be honestly I think its a rubbish idea and they should just make more original BH.

Noooooooooo! While the quality of the acting, writing, and the originality of BH is what appealed to me most about the show, as an asian-american the diversity of casting quality actors was just an added bonus. The casting doesn't smack of tokenism and the writing is void of cultural cliches. BH gets it right where as american shows rarely do.

A version by BBC America? (or Worldwide, or whatever?) Or by someone else? The former might be ok; the latter... *shakes head sadly*
Has it not occurred to our TV studio people that we might actually like British shows for their Britishness? Not everything needs to be Americanized. So we get lame efforts like US "Life On Mars", US "The IT Crowd" (not even Richard Ayoade could save it); even, inexplicably, an American version of "Little Britain".
Meanwhile, edgy and daring shows like "Dollhouse" teeter on the edge of cancellation, and shows like my beloved "Pushing Daisies" are... well... *sniff* *sob* *weeps disconsolately*
(That said, if they must remake it, they should set it in Portland. A more atmospheric city for weird goings-on I cannot imagine. Or perhaps my own home city, San Francisco, even though it's a bit played out as a setting for TV shows.)
Complain about this comment
BrownIrishEyes@12: We geeky Yanks (i.e. the ones who watch cult British shows) have been scratching our heads over that for ages. It's not a money thing: American shows cost a lot *more* to make. And given producers' track records (see above re: LoM, IT Crowd, etc. etc.), it's certainly not about *improving* them.
My hypothesis is that the words "proven success" are freaking catnip to Hollywood producers, and they override any objections or thoughts anyone else in the producer's circle may have.
Either that, or they figure that we can't work out the accents. Which is bizarre--I mean, we all got through the 24/7 Princess Diana broadcasts OK, back in the day, and it's not like they subtitle the BBC before they transmit it.
I can't decide which is more offensive: that we're supposed to be robots who can't understand anything that isn't Our Culture, in the same way that computer programs have to be ported to run on another architecture; or that we're supposed to be idiots.

BeatricThomas- Hi, I meant the US remake of BH might but I hope won't fail, not True Blood. I quite like True Blood, it's very quirky and fun to watch. I used TB as an example of a similar US show that we have embraced here despite the heavy accents (maybe we don't have problems understanding American accents here I don't know) and the culture differences. We don't feel the need to remake it just for us.
Eagle- well behaved, sitting quietly? lol! See you all later!

The thought of a Us Being Human makes me cringe. God knows how they'll ruin it.
From reports I've heard George is set to be an ex American football player. Uurgh . Don't even want to think what they'll do to Annie and Mitchell.
The trio should not be played by anyone else.

As an American, I agree that an American version of "Being Human" is an bad idea and completely unnecessary. The original version is brilliant. It has an ideal cast, and I can't see anyone else in those roles. It seems like a complete waste to me. Most producers here lack creativity and the ones that do (Joss Whedon) are treated with no respect to their vision.
Can't wait for series 2!

Will comment on the actual question when I have calmed down::::
I have just had the best day ever at Nottingham. It started with walking up Broad St to the cinema and my friend says "Isn't that him?...I am only walking up the street behind Aidan...I lost the ability to breathe let alone speak...so I stood and watched him as he finished his ciggie and put it out in the bin outside the cinema and then we sat outside for a while (head between knees) and then saw Russell, Sinead and Matt get out of a taxi and after a quick chat then go in..
Then they let us into the auditorium and I spotted who I assume were the our bloggy naughty girls all along the front row....I saw you all practising your mexican wave and shushing (it worked the whole place dropped quiet, twice). I was two rows behind to your left....bang opposite where Aidan was sitting.....loved the whole thing....how funny is Lenora?. Shame Tobes wasn't there.
But then...after...oh dear, oh dear...I went to the table where they were doing autograph/photos. Aidan was first....I amazed myself with my ability to speak...I smiled at him, he smiled back and said "Who would you like me to do it for?" I told him my name and while he is signing, I said "May I have a photo with you" He said "Of cousre you can.....and said my name. He looked at me as though I was the most important person in his world.
Whilst I am having my photo taken with him (which is fab, he has his arm round me and he just looks so beautiful). Lenora signed my book.
She then passed it on to Sinead, who took the trouble to look back to the previous page to find my name and write it again on her autograph. I did say to Sinead that I was amazed at how tiny she is...she said "I know and I've got my heels on"...She was really lovely. Then the book went to Russell who signed and drew the little picture with the big ears. I said thankyou Russell and he said "You're very welcome....and said my name.
How wonderful were they all?. On my way home I bought a little blood coloured stone with the word LOVE inscribed on it as a momento of the day and a lottery ticket cos I think today is my lucky day.
I have told my family if I die tonight...they should be comforted by the fact that I died happy.
Off to ASDA to get the photo blown up to poster size.....Lenora loves posters and so do I. This has been one of the best days of my life.
Sorry to have prattled on so long but I just had to share with people who care about BH. I may never sleep again

Just got back home from Nottingham.
It was great meeting everyone. We are all a lovely, crazy bunch.
I can't even remember who everyone was... anyway... Eagle was fabulous! You would all have been very proud of her, asking a very crucial question to the cast (I'll let her tell that one- brilliant!)
We were having giggle fits before the screening and during. We got on the front row- of course.
All of them were so lovely. We got some great pics, I've only got 4 and they are on FB but others were a bit more dedicated than me and got much better ones of all of the cast.
Toby wasn't there as his wife was ill, bless. And Barry wasn't there. *sad face*
It was great, such a giggle and we got a preview of season 2 which looks amazing and very dark. I think we are in store for some shockers and upset in January but the humour is still firmly in place as well. After the preview I'm even more excited about season 2 now.
They didn't rule out bringing Bernie back for season 3. I was too scared to ask about Seth. I should have done! But I'm lame.
Oh and err.. they are considering zombies in the future. :/
There was lots more as well.
KC looked brilliant! Werewolf eyes, Being Human nails, loads of stuff and awww she bought Halloween goodie bags for all of us!! And gave some things for my boys.
We are all a lovely, dedicated bunch. :)

No I couldn't see from my angle. We could basically see up their noses we were that close and low down.
I was pretty unintentionally rude to AT at the beginning (I have a habit of doing this with celebs). But I was confused and being pushed around so just sort of gave him my signature book and said hi yeah I'm fine you? But of course I rejoined the queue with Eagle and got a great photo. He wanted to know if he was pulling a silly face and showed him. I looked goofy as usual.
It was fun wasn't it. They gave a huge amount of recognition to the fans. Tovey was so funny. I'll let Eagle tell it.

Evening all ....been a long day with long drives to spend an hour in Nottingham cinema..was it worth it ? yeh!
Glad to hear super and vampfan's accounts....like vampfan I didn't get to meet fellow bloggers as Man and I got there a little late but I think we just missed Cinema man talking and first bit of BH1 film...we sat at back so my pics are rubbish
http://twitpic.com/nqwje .....but no doubt others have much better ones. I did get a few decent ones when everyone rushed the stage after Q&As....I shouted hi to Aidan and he smiled back which will have to do me cos a loooonggg queue had formed for signing and pics with them and we had to leave then.
I did shout at someone in a white cap who i thought might have been KC cos ahe siad she would wera one but I didn't get any response so don't know if it was she..and then we had to go.
At least we managed to get the car back only 10 mins late so our friend was 10 mins late driving to work in the sticks..i think he'll forgive us..eventually
Thought the trailer for BH2 was great and wished I could have asked sensible question about the cages and the fact that the 4 seemed to becoming almost isolated from each other...but my brain had turned to mush so couldn't really speak! Most of questions bit dull but great one on shag, marry, throw off cliff....as I now know from texts from eagle...and someone asked whether Mitchell had got his kit off yet in BH2.....he said yes!..who asked that?
Even from the back it was clear that Aidan and Lenora were....very close shall I say. They shared a glass of water and seemed to spend a lot of time looking ata each other..I only noticed cos I couldn't stop looking at Aidan!
Shame about Toby not being there but colin and Matt still stirling jobs.
Man thought that the audience were very low-key...I wasn't really bothering about the audience but thinking about it now calmly ..I think in the main they were a bit quiet....and most asked far too many sensible questions!
Oh and vampfan and Super....didn't the 4 of them just look so gorgeous..like they'd stepped out of a film set....and yeh they were funny and warm and I loved seeing them...Aidan said it was like filming with a bunch of mates working on BH and that's how it came across.

Lenora and Aidan really do you think ??? Lenora WAS engaged mentioned on an interview for Sugar Rush on channel 4 but it was a couple of years ago, but lets face it how could you not want to jump on his bones when he grins that grin.
And Russell what a great guy you can just tell by looking at him that there is no edge to him but I hear from girlfriend in LA that Russ has a guy partner she gets all the gossip (inside information) especially if I say I'm interested in someone.

Ooh, ooh, one last one then I promise to go away. When stripy guy was introducing them and they were all standing at the back, did anyone see Aidan doing his lttle dance. Aaaw!
Right that's it, time to attempt grown-up stuff.

Brown that pic is Amazing!! Possibly my favourite AT pic so far. :)
If you want more speculation about AT and Lenora then you should ask some of us about what we saw when they left. ;) I remain unconvinced by that.
Eagle you were so being told off by that cardigan lady and I was too everytime I tried to go fetch you. *tuts*
OK.. season 2/3 stuff lets see if we can focus:
George in a cage in the house, the Professor doing his bit, Annie and the other ghost (she seemed mad with him), Nina telling Annie about the scars first, apparently lots of vampire stuff in the past so I hope we see more of Sethy :D, ERM.. a zombie might be included at some point, Bernie might be in season 3... can't think of anything else.
Oh apparently in the US remake Mitchell might be female!!! :/
Have a great time today Bristol lot!

eagle::: Yes I was a bit naughty...but as I have said before (and I know none of you beleive me)...I am quite a shy person and didn't really spot you until we were in the auditorium but having established that the naughty girls on the front row were my sisters I had every intention of speaking to you all afterwards...but then events overtook me and it was either speak to you or get to HIM. I hope you will forgive me for the decision I made....but I had to do it while I still had my courage!.
Please forgive me. But it is only on here where I become loud, opinionated, manic and gobby.
I went with my friend (who is not really into BH so she was in charge of the camera).....we went on the bus which took just over an hour....she told me that going there, she could not shut me up and on the journey home, I didn't speak once.
She also reminded me that as we left the auditorium, I put my arm around the usherette and told her that Aidan had just put his arm around me.....How can you be so drunk without actually having a drink?.

Eek, it sounds like all of you had such fun yesterday evening! I am not jealous at all.... So now I'm here nursing a headache(not from the drink,just from too much sugar and too little sleep.

Right Being Human USA...finally.
I have to be careful here because I said once before that America wouldn't 'get it' and was told (quite rightly) by one of our American friends that they would. But I didn't mean it as in 'duh you won't get what's being said'....I just thought that the whole point of BH is that it's humour in particular is very British. And I wondered if, in order to make it appeal to the American market, it would have to be changed considerably. And would those changes take away from what is BH....I know what I mean,I just don't think I'm expressing it well.
Anyway...a female Mitchell??....nah, don't think so

Whooo whooo....hello everybody on at last...
Eagle and I have been visitng around Bristol....and yes, we have tottered in Totterdown, outside the house, briefly around the area, caught a bus back into town, visited College Green (Gilbert insulting the policemen, and Episode 4 opening with Mitchell and Alabama 3 song), Eagle took pic of the music shop Gilbert and Annie went into to buy CDs....came straight home and here we are about to put the kettle on for a brew.
VF: Quite understand about yesterday....where the vampire is concerned, I totally get the feeling of wanting to get as near to him as possible....I loved that stubble on my left cheek.....grrrr....and god knows what I look like in my picture which Joooos will very kindly be giving me at some point.
I am still totally fazed by having him snuggle up to my left side....never nuzzled the chest which was a great shame in one way but probably he'll be thanking me for it....I really could not have controlled myself there if that had have occurred lol
Eagle loves Bristol and is keen to move to here or Cardiff but she will tell you more of that in due course! Everything seems so surreal, like it didn't happen yesterday but of course it did...what a fabulous day....don't think any of us will ever forget it, nor would we want to.
BH PROD: Thanks so much again for your great vids and info...I'm going to try to get a message to them via their website thanking them for freeing up the cast members in order for them to appear yesterday....but thanks for an amazing piece of TV, writing is incredible, acting brilliant, and everything else just makes it superb...please pass congrats and many thanks to everybody and the cast for taking the time to be so lovely and patient with the signing and chatting!

Hi everyone.....it's been an amazing and emotional day for me and Man and his family...lots of tears and lots of laughter. 65 people celebrating a life cut short tragically a year ago yesterday. The sun even came out for a couple of hours allowing us to walk to a special place for the final goodbye which involved lots of balloons. A year on I think we are all able to say goodbye and ignore the circumstances.
Probably not what any of you want to hear..sorry.
..but have read posts..and Vampfan...you have no need to aplogise for anything...we all have our own reasons for behaving the way we do ...you kept reserved for a particular reason and I was reserved for a different reason.
We got there..we enjoyed in different ways.... and that's all that matters.

Russell said marry nina shag mitchell and cliff annie :-P aidan said shag george marry nina and cliff annie, sinead said marry george shag aidan and cliff annie and lenora refused to play because of the lack of annie love lol think she answered eventually and then told me off at the signing and when i said actually i think id say the same (because annie would survive!) she said "would you at least shag me after you cliffed me?" lol an offer which i accepted on behalf of every man in england lol she really is ridiculously pretty its really unfair!

Have dragged Eagle (or rather, she dragged me lol) around a couple of bits of Bristol and we've had plenty of fresh air today and walked a fair bit.... didn't do the hospital but did the house, College Green and bottom of Park Street (my personal fave because it is just so atmospheric down there at night which is when the start of Epi4 was filmed)...I have had the best weekend for ages and one day I intend to meet all three of you and have a good old natter :-) Circumstances just overtook us all yesterday but one day it will happen, I'm sure..

Brown: I never saw them walking down the street but I'm told he had his arm around her shoulders not her waist and not holding hands or anything....but still I didn't notice much during the actual Q&A session....i was concentrating far too much on NOT trying to look at Aidan because he is too distracting and because he was talking sometimes and I didn't want to catch his eye lol...they all seemed really close....couldn't work out whether Aidan was just chatting to Lenora because they were sat next to each other...I remember him being chatty (obviously, not in a too-familiar way!) with Russell when they were seated next to each other in a couple of the interviews/vids I've seen...can't make up my mind about A&L....if it is something, I wish them the best of luck because they were lovely when I chatted to them and it'd be the 'awwww' factor if they are an item.

VF: God I'm tired now...thank goodness I've tomorrow off, I've got so much to catch up on lol....too many distractions on Saturday in a wonderful nice good Aidan way of course.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it....great to get close to the vampire wasn't it? I reckon he's between 5'10" and 6' but 6'2" is pushing it a bit I think lol...I'm 5'8" in the boots I wore and he was about 4-5 inches taller than me (unless he stooped when we had out photo taken and I never noticed hehe) so I reckon about 6'...not that I'm complaining you understand. I loved the way he spoke to me first, asked me my name, and wrote "*my proper name* all the best, Aidan x"....the rest of it is a blur!
Brown: I will catch up with you on yt it's easier there....glad you made it, circumstances allowing....hope today went as well as expected....sorry to sound a little weird but this weekend has been totally out of this world and I am feeling more than a little tired now partly because of this and other stuff I now have going on....I will be in touch very shortly, i.e. within the next 15 mins..x

Hi anglo...starting to get worried where you were. It was totally fab wasn't it.

They talked about the blog quite a bit saying how great we all were.. of course. And mentioned how even Tom the runner had received a great response. Which gave me and Eagle a queue to shout 'We love Tom!'
Yes joooos it's fine to put the pics on Twitter.:)
KC I've put a message up on Twitter from my son. My 6 year old said 'Hi, thank you for my present. It is the best thing I've ever had. Thank you kinnycause.' lol. Like expensive computer equipment and Transformers just weren't up to scratch, but they LOVED their pumpkin flick bracelets!

Anglo: No worries..will check YT later.
Now moving away from the closeness of those we drool over...
What about the BH2 trailer?..Super raised some interesting points earlier.....what I observed was...
1.Our fab 4 becoming distant and isolated from each other...
2. Kemp discussing merits of big machine...looked like a huge body scanner to me. ...it's purpose?
3. George and Nina having a ruck ( she may/may not have been the one he was having the 'poetic' moment with in the woods.
4. Annie on her own persuing other 'friends'
5. Mitchell disconnected from G & A and arrested...involved with dark haired beauty. ( not Lucy I think)
5. George in cage..'captured'
6. Mitchell 'capyured' in some way?
ok....wished I'd asked soem questions yesterday....thoguhts on where this is all going?
I'm thinkng that those who can blog am should ask the BHTeam to ask Colin if the trailer can go via blog so that we can all view and discuss having seen it properly.

BEST bit of the trailer lol 2 big poloce officers burst into mitchells bedroom hes laid on the bed and they say something like "oi you" or something and he goes "oh god its about the library books isnt it?!" lmao it was hilarious the whole room cracked up - brilliant

Really wished I hadn't become so hyped yesterday...I blame situation and long journey and arriving late...to think of good questions to ask re trailer.
Don't know about cage.....Mitchell and Annie would not cage him...so Prof maybe?....I think all our heroes are being watched in some way and an attempt made to 'capture ' them or their essence in some way.
And aidan and Lenora...mmmm,,,,my money's on something happening...wanna bet?

The one thing that intrigues me about this is which channel it will end up on.
The CW had Buffy and currently has Vampire Diaries and Supernatural, so it would seem to fit. I could see it doing really well on Fox, but only if they can get enough early episodes wrapped so they can show it after American Idol. These are the bottom 2 networks in the U.S.
CBS had a flop last year with Moonlight about a vampire detective, so I can't imagine they'd be too keen on taking a chance on American BH.
ABC is trying to get some more sci-fi fare with LOST ending soon and the re-launch of V.
NBC could use a hit show, but they're not really known for sci-fi at all.
Lord help the poor actor taking on the role of George (or whatever they will call the werewolf). That's going to be the most difficult to find.
In a way, I'd like to see them switch genders on the characters for an American version, since they'd have to change the storylines.

Morning all! Have been deserted by Eagle who has gone gallivanting around Bristol and enjoying it immensely cos she loves the place...lol...she will rejoin us later after JB..and I shall now do some serious blogging hehe
Brown (179):: Those lovely S2 questions...now, where were we..
1. Fab four isolation: How are they isolated I wonder? Are they forced apart physically by the baddies or are they having huge difficulties overcoming their own issues and are divided by that and arguing and having tiffs? Is Mitchell's new woman coming between them, or Annie's new ghost pal/adversary or George and Nina's relationship doing the same...
2. Machine : I think it's experimental to turn matter into anti-matter or the reverse, to create humankind in a false way, or perhaps to alter human or spirit matter into werewolf...er sorry, bit lame, can't think of anything else or it's just too far-fetched!
3. George & Nina: Can't work out whether he can't handle turning her into a werewolf which I think she is, and it turns them against each other because he doesn't know how to cope/help her, has a guilt thing about it, or whether she is just not handling it, doesn't know what to expect and is angry at him.. either way, it ain't going to end well, I feel, though of course I'd like it to.
4. Annie: Perhaps the ghost appears and is intercepted by the scientists who experiment on him and he is manipulated into going after Annie or being involved in some way in how she copes with the afterlife, or he can't cope with the afterlife....mystery, that one.
5. Mitchell & new woman: Unsure if its Lucy...in the Hospital vid Aidan mentioned Mitchell having a possible new love interest but didn't say whether it was Lucy, just said Mitchell "maybe" has a new love interest...think new woman is probably up to no good though, and maybe is involved in the dividing up slightly of the trio/quartet to separate Mitchell from them because he's the strongest and therefore a threat to the bad guys, so she tries to entice him away so baddies can get on and do their dirty work....a honey trap in other words.
6. George in cage: the cage looked like it was in an ordinary building rather than a research place...wonder if he was captured after transforming then imprisoned in a cage to revert back, because he was back to his human form when we saw the preview...have to say, it didn't look too strong...he could have taken it apart no problem lol
7. How about Mitchell being blamed for Herrick's death....that's why police broke in to arrest him for killing Herrick, either on false charges or because they really believe he killed Herrick, or that he's been set up as the police have other vampires amongst their ranks and are out to get him because they hold him responsible for killing Herrick...either way, I don't think he stays in custody too long, he has too much to do, the new woman for instance...
Phew....that was a long one! Any more offerings folks?

Hi All, glad those that went to Nottingham had a great time at the Halloween thing. I was thinking of you. Enjoyed reading the blogs today. All that hyper-ventilating going on.....
Poor ATFan - so unfair - spotted the event but couldn't go.
Hmmm interesting plot lines ahead - need to give it some thought. Haven't seen BH2 trailer though so may be at a disadvantage. Any clues as to where I might get to see it online (BH Team??) or is it just for those lucky few that attended the Halloween thing?
Would be great to see vid or photos of the Halloween event. Sounds like you did all of us BH bloggers proud those of you that went.

Back again..well feeling better after dancing and eating..must confess to feeling exhausted at work today and it was embarrasing how much I yawned through one meeting that I was supposed to be helping lead!....I think this is more to do with other things than Saturday.
Enjoyed all the pics put up on Twitpics or Photobucket. Still thinking about Saturday ...loved getting that close to them and seeing how close they are with each other...how good is that Sinead Keenan..she's replied to everyone who sent her a tweet...she may have to become my favourite..well...ok..after the beautiful one.
Yeh Baloo..he does seem to have a few..mmm...interesting habits shall we say although....won't mention the fags.... when you love someone as blindly as most of us love him you kinda don't see them.
Yes vampfan..I saw Aidan's little dance whilst they were at back .in the dark...waiting to go onto stage. I actually couldn't believe they were there as Man and I had not long arrived and I looked to my left and there they were...this explains why I couldn't tell you what was on that first vid they showed...I wsa too busy staring at them all. Anyway, they swept down not far in front of us.....I had to contain myself not to grab him but I was still in shock that they were so close. His dance reminded me of that little dance he did on one of the early videos..I think it was Lenora's where all 3 of them were practicing some sort of dance and then Aidan did a little jig on his own..well his jig on Saturday was a bit like that. I guess it's his way to get himself going.
Anglo..great post (205) with great ideas...we must explore these ideas in more detail.
I sent tweet to BHTeam to ask them to put up the BH2 trailer on the blog site....if everybody asks them they may get it for us.

I think they look great he has the right kind of of muscular arms.

(231 & 232) Baloo and ATfan1: I don't mind too much the habits...it shows that he's as infallible as the rest of us hehe
I have to say, when I was standing there waiting for something to happen at the signing desk, he looked up at me, gave me a slightly shy smile (I had to ram my knees against the desk at that point to keep me upright) and spoke first...said "hi there", asked me if I was alright, asked me my name, what I wanted writing (I was deprived of the power of speech at that point)....I did ask him if he was alright though and he said, yeah, great thank you...gave me that look again for a couple of seconds...and I was a goner... later Joooos took a little pic of me with him...that was the stubble moment.. his right cheek against my left...I've not been the same since. lol

oh, and when I said my name, he looked up at me and repeated it...held gaze for a second, gave me an odd little smile, and wrote "All the best, Aidan x" and then passed it onto the others to sign which was totally unexpected I had no idea he was going to do that. At that point I got the first ticking off (mild) from an organiser...so I scuttled off for a while then went back for my pic later...
They were all so funny, normal, down-to-earth folks...great day for me and all there.

Hello there, thought I’d be brave and become one of the BH bloggers after Saturday in Nottingham. I was there at the behest of my daughter who has recently moved to Canada with her hubby and my little granddaughter. Makes me sound ancient I know but I had her when I was at uni so I was a young mum. I hadn’t watched BH when it was first put out ( confess I hadn’t watched anything on BBC3 at that point) but watched the rerun sometime ago as daughter & co had moved in with me for 6 months. I really enjoyed the show with its mix of comedy and drama, thought the characters were well acted and couldn’t wait for the next episode to find out what had happened. It nearly killed my daughter to not tell me the next episode story..!.
My daughter finds Aidan Turner (in her words) the hottest man on the planet ( I think she means after her hubby –although she hasn’t said this!) . Having watched Desperate Romantics with her during the summer I know what she means. It’s true I could be his mother, but if it’s good enough for celebs to have a much younger man in tow it’s good enough for me!
Daughter had seen the Nottingham show on the web and begged me to go to see it as they had moved last month. I had to make notes, ( she’s not really as bossy as I’m making her sound but she is feisty) report back, and most importantly talk to Aidan, get his signature for her and his pic with me. I wasn’t worried about going on my own but I was worried that there would be 1000 screaming teenagers… and me. As it turned out there was a mix of age ranges I thought although no doubt I was probably one of the oldest. I really enjoyed the show and seeing the trailer for the new series. I hadn’t heard of a blog forum for the series until it was talked about…I’m guessing that was all you lot at the front..good for you! …made me want to join you!
Anyway, all was well , said hello and chatted to all 4 stars…looked into the eyes of the man himself and had a word with him ( daughter is beside herself) until I should have had my photo taken with Aidan ...and I realised I had no-one to take it for me so hesitated. Got sort of moved along then by some woman. I hung around near the front for a while thinking about taking a pic and then finally found a kind soul to take it for me with myself and Aidan. Same woman was very rude and tried to get us to move before pic taken. Fortunately we stood our ground so daughter now has pic of her hot man with his arm around her anything but hot mum. I personally think I spoiled the pic but she loves it!
I seem to be writing an essay here..sorry, just wanted to explain how I came to the blog. If you don’t mind a slightly older mum joining you all then hello! I can see that there are little vids to watch made by the Production Team.. I think my daughter has seen them but will check….there seem to be a lot..suggestions for best ones to watch? Should keep me occupied in my ( limited) spare time having just managed to get the house back looking like a house after onslaught of daughter, hubby and 2 year old for 6 months!

Hi Dorina (259) Welcome to the blog! I was there on Sat. on the front row! I'm trying not to go on the blog too much cos I'm slightly addicted! Saturday was great wasn't it!

Can't wait 'til series 2!

Welcome to the madness Dorina...if you stick with us, you'll see why!
And yes, a lot of us do find the dark and handsome Aidan just the best thing we've ever seen on TV...I know I do. He is just as lovely in the flesh as I thought he would be, as were the others.
Haven't caught up with tweets or blog but I'm still up there in the clouds.. roll on January, yay!
RTE player still not up to snuff...we'll bide our time and see what they tell brown...sounds like someone has screwed up with the digital thing and RTE!

Thanks, Eagle! She is lovely! She was really nice when I had a pic with her, as I just hopped onto the table to save time and she thought that was funny! LOL!! I'm gonna follow then.
Hi Dorina! I'm pretty new and kind of ancient too, compared to these serial bloggers! I don't get that much time to blog with a 3 1/2 yr old and a 9 1/2 month old! Pretty much bogged down! But I have a little time to voice my appreciation of the BH cast!! I love Russell, but must agree that Aidan is very...HOT! My friend really likes him, so getting a pic with him was sweet!! Hee hee!!
Glad you enjoyed Notts! :o)

Hmm good day? Not especially lol an awful lot of stress on my part and I do not like my grumpy alter ego but unfortunately sometimes she is a necessary evil lol had people come to look at my flat which was a mega pain seeing as I only got back from Bristol around 11.30 last night due to all kinds of train trouble and a desperately needed dash to tesco's lol so no time to clean or tidy but oh well got a few bits moved into the new house today so looking a little more homely which is good ready for saturday when im bringing the final things (my bed, laptop, telly, JB's book and my dvds - the things I cannot live without lol)
But hey ho I did get my signed Russell Howard script through the post today and after a quick niggle about the postman (I was in a bad mood anyway lol and hed shoved it through the letterbox when it clearly didnt fit and creased it and ripped the envelope open!) I realised that I'd got 6 autographs in the last 4 days which pleased me greatly lol definately a weekend to remember :-D
Spent the rest of the day ferrying stuff from old flat to new house while singing very loudly along with John Barrowman both in the car and street (which prompted a little dancing sesh with some tourists who were passing by at the time lol - what can I say I enjoyed the buzz so mucn yesterday lol couldnt help it!)

Evening all, back from the bar and what a busy bunch of bloggers we've been tonight....not talking about the beautiful one by any chance?
Welcome newbie Dorina....what great taste both you and daughter have and you are definately in the right place....you may just have to shield your ears from some of the goings on here and suggestions re the vampire..from all the others you understand..not me. I suspect you'd be like my mama....if your duaghter had been there on Saturday you'd have been elbowing her out of the way to get to Aidan first..I know all about these only 'slightly older' mothers!
No news on The Clinic front sadly..I'm thinking now not anything to do with digital changeover ..for some reason we've now ben blocked but the RTEPlayer Team tell me they don't know why. I'm leaving it for a few days to see if they resolve it.and if no joy will think of something else. In the meantime..and knowing we are all missing our Clinic shots of vids...I have an idea for another little Aidan project and will be home early tomorrow to work on it whilst Man is working late. Watch this space!

Dorina no problem that woman annoyed me so much - the cast were perfectly happy to talk to us the only reason it was rushed was because the organisation was so rubbish and theyd planned another event twenty minutes after the talk finished! as if they can get 300 odd people spoken to and autographed in that time!!

Managed to spend all day working at home.( I am ..really..) and finished my latest montage/vid which I got going on last night. The song is a jazz classic and one of my mama's favourites...and mine too. It's the sort of music I was brought up on.
You've seen many of the pics before from my screencaps of The Clinic but there are new ones I'd kept back. Others are caps from eps of BH1, Comic Con etc and the very last pic...well....need you ask....it's Aidan smiling at me on saturday.

Brown: What can I say?? You've done it again...that smile...so infectious and warm and sexy and....and....oh you know...the vid has gone straight to No. 1 on my favourites list on yt whatsit and I now have an hour's worth of vids of him and a few others to run through when I'm feeling the need (and I do feel that rather a lot these days)...thanks for taking the time to do this especially when you've had so much on your plate..

Thanks vampfan, anglo and Atfan..'twas my pleasure....
ATfan....sounds like your situation is coming to some resolution and you sound a little perkier. Feel free to contact us all through YT if you want to talk more.
Now I missed out on the sock and balloon discussion last night..perhaps just as well!
Had time to read the posts now and being the sensible bod that I am I am returning the conversation....no doubt only briefly..back to things seen/said on Sat about BH2.
Anglo...think it was your post...Aidan was talking about Desperate Romantics having a bigger budget than BH1..someone in audience asked a question about which he preferred working on? or something like that....you see...occasionally I stopped being mesmerised by Aidan and actually listened to what was going on. Interestingly...and you can hear this on Jooos vid...Aidan said that the DR filming felt less personal. Now c'mon Aidan.....remember the jiggy-jiggy ladies....how much more personal could it get! ( Going to stop there as they could take the conversation back to socks again....)
Allsorts of teasers on Sat about BH2...notice no comment from BHTeam on whether or not we'll get to see the BH2 trailer again....has everyone begged them sufficiently?
I remember either Colin or Matt talking about some scenes involving going back to the 16thC and vampires around then...I'm wondering if one of the new characters is a very old vampire ( we've been here before I think) or.....they're doing a back story on how this group of vampires ( including Herrick) ended up in Bristol n the first place.
I really really really wish I'd asked some questions related to that trailer..whether they would have elaborated or not I don't know.
Like I think I said earlier, the trailer gave me the impression that our heroes are pulling apart...or being pulled apart? What on earth was that machine with Kemp saying something like everything would change in a few moments ( I assume he was talking about when it was in use).....and...was it just me or in the last shot did it look like Mitchell was also imprisoned in some way?
Answers on a postcard please......

My personaly favourite hint had to be about the pre-title sequences. It sounds like a fabulous idea - basically for those who weren't there what they're going to do is instead of having the little voice overy bits like BH1 (which were great though) they're going to show a bit of the past of the characters - so I'm thinking maybe 16th century - first vampire in Bristol thing and then maybe going back to the 60s for a bit of bad Mitchell action (yes please) just think its a really good idea - we get an insight into the characters past without it sort of getting in the way of the main story...just yeah sounds brilliant.
Oh and both the boys get their kit off a lot...that was the second favourite hint :-P

Brown: (331) Now I've got to catch up with this from my epic a few blogs ago...
The Des Rom thing: I watched the vid on the Des Rom website in which Rafe Spall talked about the sex scenes and he said they were embarrassing "and so they should be"...and he's right...they can't be "real-life sexy" in the eyes of the participants themselves, only in their characters' eyes, so you can't let it be too personal on that level otherwise it'd drive you nuts.
I remember banging on about my storyline about a very old vampire, a woman, who was turned back in the 1500s...it was you and I having a mega-blog session one evening and we came up with our own take...you talked about singing an old Irish ballad in a Bristol pub and Mitchell happened in on the pub, and I rabbited on about this very old vamp, probably about late 30s/early 40s when bitten and so on....if there is an ancient vampire in this, I'm thinking it's going to reveal about how Herrick and maybe Seth were turned (I don't know when this would have happened, though, because to my knowledge the time of their turning wasn't mentioned - or was it? - in S1) so this would be interesting to find out.
Mitchell's back story I think has to be mentioned in S2 otherwise it leaves us in limbo a bit too much...and we are gagging for a lot more of him, kit on or off!
The rest I've been through at length in (205) but we're all bound to have loads of ideas...that machine is definitely someone messing around with nature in a very bad way indeed, either because they're mad/misguided or bad or mad/bad...either way, I think it backfires on them big time somehow...I can't see this entire storyline being carried over into S3.
I can't remember anyone saying both blokes got their kit off a lot in S2....did I miss that bit? lol where was I then? Probably staring at Aidan hehe

Brown (335) just posted a few ideas...still with the anti-matter into matter or the reverse, because the new ghost was in the machine...unless they were trying to turn him into a werewolf but why would they do that? Perhaps they were experimenting with time travel, trying to turn him back into life.. Lenora gets involved somehow but he bothers her in some way because she threatened to haunt him in the preview...maybe he won't tell her stuff about the afterlife that he knows because he's been there already..that sounds plausible.
What do you think?

ATfan1: Hi again....hehe....most definitely a must, having both of them somehow involved in disrobing...we knew George was because of the woods incident but all we saw of Mitchell was him kissing/nearly kissing/just having kissed that new woman...we might have hints of a hairy chest...grrrr.. but not quite as much kit-off action as in Des Rom (unfortunately)....it might distract us from the story ...what am I saying? Might? hehe

ATfan: Kemp was the chap at the end of Epi6 S1, who was talking to Owen in that cell (filmed in an actual police cell at a Bristol police station, I'm led to believe)...the one who smoothed his hair back after Owen had been led away...and then went out to his car, phoned someone and said words to the effect of "Professor Jaggart? We've found them"...brilliant actor Donald Sumpter...plays wonderfully menacing parts!

Hi Angiefan...your hubby sounds great....give him a pat on the back and tell him you're one of the saner ones!
ATfan1: not critising hun, just couldn't keep up there! Could be Lucy, but I think there's also at least one other new female character, and definitely one new male one (the ghost)...Lucy and the Professor may be one and the same or they could be entirely different...I think one of them dies, though...I've a feeling in my water lol

Lol anglo, sorry didn't mean to sound tetchy, was just explaining :)
The ghost? Sorry, what ghost? The one from S1, I thought he went back? Arghh I'm confused.
Lol, I've heard that somebody dies, doubt its any of "our lot". I mean, Annie can't die again for a start. Anyhoo, yeah I reckon they're different in that case, could be wrong though....
Complain about this comment
ATfan1: You aren't being tetchy, not at all...I'm just trying to remember what happened in S1 lol...
In S2, there's another male character who looks like he's another ghost...in the preview we saw on Saturday, he's seen walking in front of Annie and she's saying "I'll haunt you" and he says "you can't haunt another ghost!"...so a male ghost in S2. It wasn't Gilbert as far as I know, unless they've got another actor to play Gilbert in S2 and dragged him back from the 'other side' for god knows what reason lol
Someone said a main character dies in S2 (but we don't think it's Mitchell, George or Annie disappearing), and the phrase "someone dies, someone kills" is also quoted..this could mean a whole stack of stuff.
Could be that a main character like George or Mitchell kills a minor character or another major one...but who? How about Nina? Or another major person? Depends on what you call a main character I guess...could be the Professor or Lucy, or Tully if he's back in it, or perhaps a very old vampire...we just don't know that bit unfortunately...we can imagine lots though hehe

Final word for a few hours..man due home and my lovely meal wil soon be in him...then it's one of my fave prog Spooks ...and then I may have to watch True Blood..or maybe record...I'll see.
I don't think the woman in the trailer vid was Lucy..the Lucy we saw on the blog vid ( Hospital one)..she was smaller and hairline different. one on trailer had long black hair and semed taller to me..she was in a spot of bother whoever she was and Mitchell was somehow given access to her?...dunno about her ..bit of a mystery.
ok..really bad news on The clinic front. RTeplayer have emailed me to say that, basically I should never have been able to access it and ..they don't explain what or how..but somehow this has been rumbled so now blocked.

Complain about this comment
Brown: Aw...well, we didn't hold out too much hope for the Clinic being returned to us immediately if at all so I think we did pretty well considering some of us weren't able to access it at all...both of the folks concerned who provided the fabulous entertainment and little....ahem... tasters for fans of a certain vampire....are to be thanked because they did it, not for the money or kudos, but because there's a real need to see this relatively little-known actor until recently...I hope they know they've a real plus on their hands, there.
Do you think there might be a third female around, brown, who isn't either Lucy/Prof or Lucy or the Professor? If she is or isn't Lucy (and it wasn't a bedroom scene but something different), I wondered if she's a doc who thought the experimentation was good then changed her mind and came over to the side of the trio, or was set up to trap Mitchell and entice him away from the others until the baddies have done nasty things to George and Annie and quite possibly Nina then actually did fall for him and turned against the baddies, or is indeed a very bad person herself and thoroughly enjoys being one. hehe
Anyway, I'm sure man will enjoy his lovely meal....hope to see you later if I don't get too enamoured by True Blood..

ATfan1: (354)...it's weird, stuff just keeps coming to me about what might and might not be...we have covered some of this in previous video blogs...it just pours out of what passes for my brain...strange, because my boss doesn't think I have one lol
I had this mad idea for S3 (!) about either an angel whom no-one imagines is anything other than a really ordinary, possibly quite boring, human being who does something completely extraordinary in the last episode and it's a real twist to the story, or possibly an empath but someone who is equally ordinary and down-to-earth...can't have too much hocus pocus stuff going on otherwise it'll look daft..
Zombies were mentioned for S3...dear god, I don't see how that can happen... are they going to be worse than George was for Herrick and can kill anyone, or can they only kill werewolves but not vampires...they can hardly kill ghosts as they're technically already six feet under pushing up the daisies...any ideas from you on this?
Complain about this comment
ATfan1: (357)...well, er, we don't lol... maybe someone thought it might be a female baddie, then the idea that she and Lucy might be the same person, or perhaps two different people, popped up...if it's a man, though, who would it be? There was no-one else in the preview video except for Kemp, and he's not the Professor for sure...so we just thought the talk of at least one if not two new female characters meant that one might be Lucy and the other the Prof, or that Lucy is the Prof and there is a spare character out there who happened to be the one Mitchell was with in Saturday's preview.

If you remember after Owen's little trip to the police station where he rants on about being tortured by vampires and werewolves, and the policeman says "in that case, we'll need a different form"? Not long after that, Owen is in a cell with a police officer/prison guard sitting behind him, and Owen is talking to a man in I'd guess his 60s, in a suit, across a desk...that is Kemp...who he is isn't made clear in Episode 6 of S1 but he contacts Professor Jaggart once he's making his way to his car almost right at the end of E6 and rings the Prof...remember that bit?

Anglo: Um, Annie, George and Mitchell will be in it? I've got no idea. New woman for Mitchell to get some Annie competition/jealousy going on (hopefully they won't end up together, the idea positively makes me sick.... not to mention that it would spoil the whole dynamic).
Complain about this comment
Hi Beatrice
Yep all three are in it plus Nina, and at least one if not two new female characters and one new male character whom we know is a ghost (or at least that's what we've been led to believe)
In the preview last Saturday at Nottingham, Annie was threatening to haunt him and he pointed out one ghost can't haunt another....Mitchell was seen getting reasonably friendly with a woman but we don't know who she was....there are going to be more vampires in this series and a lot more action and its going to be much darker AND is 8 episodes, not 6 like Series 1...
The characters people assume are the baddies aren't necessarily, and vice versa...George & Nina were having a screaming match, well, he was screaming at her (? why)....and two policemen entered Mitchell's bedroom (well, we'd all like to do that, wouldn't we?) shouting "oi, you" and Mitchell's lying on the bed, jumps and says "it's the library books, isn't it?"
Oh and a while back, there were two quotes....a major character dies.... and "someone kills, someone dies"...we don't think it's any of the main three and can't work out who it might be, although Nina has been mentioned...it could be that a major character kills another major character but how long is a piece of string? lol
Brownirisheyes and I and a few others have knocked ourselves out trying to guess all sorts of stuff and it's actually quite therapeutic in a bizarre BH-type way....but then, as I've mentioned, I am happy to do weird because I'm used to much stranger people at work...I can handle it..hehe

Lol yeah I saw his little hips juggly clicky fingers cant stand still dance (the same sort I do although for some reason its nowhere near as sexy on me lol) I meant I never actually asked him for a dance :-P
Beatrice - uh soo dont envy you right now lol hated gce time was a while ago now but not nice memories :-S no idea how I managed to come out with a's and b's lol i did naff all apart for my media and english because it was all i was into and spent the whole 2 years in one long strop because they wouldnt let me take drama :-( (I went to a grammar school which meant 13 gcse's but apparently within those 13 i was "too inteligent" to take both media and drama neither of which are "proper subjects" apparently just grrrr! youd think theyd work it in but nooooo also meant i was never considered for the school plays etc after that because the year 10s/11s werent allowed to take part because they had to "concentrate on studying" apart from the drama lot and I was always the leads before that :-( god my school was rubbish.) But anyway if I managed to come out of it alright after all that hassle im sure you'll do great :-)
Gotta ask - english coursework what text you doing? Only bit of school I actually really enjoyed lol except the poetry - we did some really rubbish poems just cos the poet was local and we could interview her lol

(408) Eagle: For English we're doing / have done (this might take a while) 'Romeo and Juliet', 'The lord of the flies', 'An inspector calls' Post-1914 war poetry ('Dulce e decorum est' compared with 'Once more unto the breach...' - Felicity Currie) for coursework and 'Far from the madding crowd' for our major exam text, along with some set short stories *breathes*. No, I've got into the whole GCSE-working-loads thing; it's easy once you get used to the realisation that you will now forever be working non-stop on them for what may as well be eternity. I can't get snesible answers about predicted grades out of the teachers because they just love me as I'm the only one who sits at the front and wears her skirt anywhere below her backside.... so not a teacher's pet at all :-S. I hope it'll all be ok though, I seem to manage in class.

Hello all, only on shortly as a bit cream-crackered.....demanding job and stuff to do most evenings in week means I won't have a huge amount of time to blog but weekends should be better.
Well...read the posts and I too saw the lovely man wriggling his hips and clicking those fingers. It was all very...distracting..and this was when I was trying to work out how to get my pic taken with him ( luckily eagle came to the rescue). Probably his way of geeing himself up.
Looked at the lovely vid made by Brownirisheyes...will investigate others over weekend..after I've looked at recent Blog vids. So much to do to catch up! Tried to rate it as she suggested but of course couldn't as I don't ( yet) have a YTaccount. Add to list!
After I've done all that maybe I'll be in a better position to add to discussion on BH2.
Anglo: whilst eating I was watching a prog called The Restaurant...it's set in Bristol this time around ...not a place I know but it looked a really nice city..which is more than I can say about those in competetion to open a restaurant!

Lol Beatrice I was the opposite at school! Well not with the skirt thing always wore trousers but not good with my uniform always had shirt untucked and top button undone and always mucking about at the back but I did used to geek out where english and media and up til then drama were concerned - used to spend lunchtimes working on whatever film we were doing - although my coursework was done in 3 days because some spitefull jealous git decided to delete it off the computer and the back up hard drive and then when I kicked off because they wouldnt give me an extension they tried to fob me off that it was just an accident...yeah course thats why mine was the only one to go and from both places and just grrr again lol but showed them I still got top mark in the year and won the competition i entered it into so nyeh lol so word to the wise save it somewhere secret too because some people reaaaaaally dont like competition!

I have a memory stick, and a home computer, so I should be alright. And tchnically speaking, nobody can access my files apart from the teachers who love me too much to try and do anything like that, but thanks for the tip. Yeah, that's the other running joke; as my friend once said 'my skirt is NOT short; just because yours could house an African village'. Anyway, night all.

Evening peeps....yeh...just had a few probs getting on blog but here now...I dunno....they like to wake us up every now and then by making some log in change or something!
Agree that the remake American style sounds bonkers. Interestingly, all comments by Americans themselves on this blog or elsewhere ( see Facebook) have been very anti the idea. Up to the American fans I guess but maybe they ought to let their feelings be known to relevant peeps. ....Didn't hear the 'female ' Mitchell referrred to as Michelle on Sat but did see Aidan's reaction...one of astonishment I'd say.
Just reading back posts...thanks for comment Dorina....and even though she is blowing her own trumpet yeh eagles vids are proper vids well worth enjoying. Another name to check out for BH/Aidan vids is Cieria...that's her username and she is a blogger.
Ah, Man bringing me tea and toast the sweetie.

Still upset over The Clinic quite ridiulous cos I don't watch soaps but want to know how the Ruairi/Daisy love thing progresses....nothing to do with missing seeing a certain gorgeous man of course.....!
The problem is compounded by my parents and baby sis out of country as they've gone with her to canada for first part of her travels in N. America...staying with my big sis. Contacted a relative in dublin to see if they can help me out ( won't say too much here...!) but they don't seem to grasp that I can't get RTEPlayer...well, we'll have to see...maybe something happens maybe not.

they asked that - who would you want to play you lol russell said something really funny but cant for the life of me remember what/who now...i suggested colin farrell for mitchell keep the irishness lol but then they said he was gonna be a she so that went down the pan....hmm what did russell say - answers on a postcard everyone who went?!

so what was the American Life on Mars like? Maybe it didn't seem right to some viewers because they've come to love the british characters? If so it'll probably be the same with Being Human.

We had a ball and the cast were just amazing, really lovely and generous with their time, their signatures and their photo shoots!

Hello one and all on this wet Friday pm. I don't work Friday pms so I've spent the last hour looking back at the last few months Blog vids to catch up as a newbie and scanned the comments posted...my favourite? Russell's wanting an action figure..and loved the comments!
Now his joking about it last saturday makes sense to me. Hope they make them with the bum squeezing action as suggested..well maybe not for Annie and Nina..would be a little inappropriate...unless you're a man..what am I saying!
Off now to open YouTube account and start watching some of the BH vids on there made by your good selves and others.

Dorina: Hi there...we do rather get carried away, hope you join in as necessary!
Can't believe they're going ahead with the action figures...there were some fairly impressive suggestions as to what each of them could do...extra fangs, scars, how to make George transform into a werewolf and other things I won't go into here..should be a hoot, can't wait to see them.
When you've half a millenia to spare, check out the blogs around 8 weeks ago because from memory, that was when we had a huge blog-fest and got over 700 posts on one blog...god that was entertaining...we were good!

Hi anglo: just coming up for air having spent hour watching some of the vids made by talented bloggers....I wouldn't know how to go about making such things and no doubt don't have the ncessary eqp/software..or time sadly. Will find time over weekend to check out ones I haven't looked at yet.
Anyways..I've now got a YouTube account and subscribed to a few bloggers to catch any future vids they make.
And yes I'm going to say it....because it's time that younger men appreciated the 'experiences' offered by we 'slightly older' women ....and I blame my daughter for this....that Aidan Turner is hot!

Dorina: hehe...Aidan Turner is definitely hot....and he doesn't keep my temperature down that's for sure..
Someone at work (I live in Bristol, where BH is filmed) mentioned "all this filming" going on when they drive into work these days, and I butted in with my "by the way I met the cast last weekend" (nonchalantly) thinking no-one would be interested, and one woman in her 60s was really astonished and in three minutes we spoke more than we've spoken in 3 and a half years...she's an avid viewer and thinks Russell Tovey is just brilliant...but...get this... she doesn't like Aidan Turner!!! Where is the woman looking (we won't go there but clearly it isn't in the same place as we are, and definitely not with the same things on her mind)...she's adamant that Russell is The one and is the best thing ever..she's into amateur dramatics though, so she's looking purely on an acting level, whereas we are....well, looking at both that and other things too..ahem..
But I'm with you and VF, C, ATfan1 and several hundred others...Aidan Turner is HOT!!

This really gets on my nerves when america take a wonderful, funny, amzing piece of british television and insist on changing it, setting it in america, casting new actors, whats wrong with the version already shot? we watch americain shows ugly betty, true blood, heroes ect... why can't they watch british shows?
it makes absoloutley no sense to me at all!!!

I just read that it is SyFy Channel (a cable network, formerly SciFi) that is planning the remake. So it will not be seen by too many people anyway.
SyFy seems to get reruns of BBC America shows or ones they don't show on BBC America. They were showing Doctor Who for awhile (as was BBCA), but they don't any more. Right now they have Sanctuary and an original SyFy show called Warehouse 13. Warehouse 13 is pretty well done, so there's hope that a BH remake won't lose all of it's charm.
As far as 448 (what's wrong with the british version, why revamp it), there's nothing wrong with the British version, save for a few lines American's wouldn't completely get (minty, like a Polo or smash the granny out of it -- more that we don't know what they mean when we hear them). However, we've got a huge film & TV industry with a lot of people out of work, so by creating a new version, it helps employ some folks.
I also think our network system works differently than the one in the UK. Our major channels are all competitors in business, rather than different pieces of the same corporation. Our networks are also not run by the government. Shows produced by other countries usually go to syndicated networks or cable networks, while the big 4 produce their own shows. The U.S. networks make money by selling the rerun rights for shows they create. It's just economics, I think, rather than unwillingness to watch or inability to appreciate British shows.
