BH2: MAKE A BEING HUMAN PUMPKIN
Be honest, what is Halloween without a pumpkin? Nothing. Nada. Zip. *insert another word for 'nothing' here* So we here at BH Blog Towers have created this handy picture guide to get you making your very own Being Human pumpkin. Good luck!
Step1 - The easiest step... Get a pumpkin.

Step 2 - Cut a hole in the top with a knife. BE CAREFUL! Fingerless gloves don't really work if you chop off your fingers.

Step 3 - Scoop out the insides of the pumpkin and get rid... eurgh.

Step 4 - Print off the Being Human name...

Step 5 - Stick it to your pumpkin. It doesn't look too impressive at this stage, but it gets better...

Step 6 - Using a compass, cocktail stick, or other pointy instrument, carefully poke holes around the edges of your design...

Step 7 - Use a knife or specialist pumpkin carving tool (we found ours in the supermarket) to join the dots...

Step 8 - Add light and... voila! You are a pumpkin-carving god!

*hyperventilates* Well it certainly beats my usual pumkin design. Hmm.... is that Adain's fingerless-gloved hand in that picture there?

Wow, didn't think it would be so simple!! YAYNESS! Thankyou BH Prods!!! *huggles* I've not got the time to do this but you've done brilliantly!
Hee, hiya Lyssa, hiya Brown, hey Beatric!! Hows things folks?
Soo, what do you good folks think of SyFy's new idea of remaking BH with an US spin? Personally, I don't see the point but meh! :S
:D KC

(5) BH with a US spin? Nah, I think they'd just spoil it. It's such an British commedy, and how would they cast it?

Ahh, jealous much. Friend has met said AT. Grr. Why?

As a nice environmentally-friendly and healthy alternative, don't throw away the seeds but roast them - nummy if you like pumpkin seeds!
Apparently British pumpkins are much harder to carve than American ones too...

Hi all....already got a G&T on the go and I've only been in 5 mins....you can tell it has NOT been a good day..however, my probs are little ones compared with some so I will not complain.
Well....another little vid....thanks BH PROD TEAM...I shall try this but not yet...it looks great though...artistic bunch you are!
Beatrice: Your pal has met the wonderful one?? Where and how? and what was he like *lost ability to type and uses small letters*?

(9) I don't know! And she didn't even seem all that hyped up about it either, it was just an off-the-topic comment "Oh, yeah, I've met Mitchell..." (she didn't even know his real name. Oh woe.) I don't think she realises what a jealousness-maker it is. She can say that sort of stuff to me (I don't care who it is; I'd swoon at the chance to meet the person who makes the coffee), but keep going on like that and she'll end up in a gutter somewhere! Eek. Must get more info for Aidan-adicts like yourself (I'm assuming you're on the AT list rather than the RT or AP list?)where and how and why and all the rest.

(10) How is the BH team daft? They are PERFECTION (ok, maybe AT's comment about using jumper dye on the last vid wasn't the brightest idea, but I'm sure we can put that down to the excess of sweets....)

Back again and 2 more G&T's (small ones) and a nibble to eat (sadly, not Aidan) later....
VF: Hello m'dear....first time I posted today at (9)....wonder what Beatrice's pal said to Him/what he said to her and so on....we must find out more about this....mind you, her buddy didn't seem all that concerned....what a waste of a meeting...you and I on the other hand, we'd know what to do wouldn't we hehe
Beatrice: Hun, you must find out more....I implore you....torture her, anything, just get the info about what was said and how she met him and more importantly, her impressions of him....could be that she doesn't go for brunettes but prefers blondes lol
Complain about this comment
No, they are daft......I mean who wears fingerless gloves to make a pumpkin lantern for goodness sake

Hi anglo...and then me four mins later......how spooky is that, although I suppose it's becoming normal.
Complain about this comment
Anglo (13): But I won't see her again for ages! Wait, something called facebook *searches for friend*. No,it's not the brunette thing; she's about 13 yrs old and I believe her crush-space is all taken up by J.Barrowman and John Sergeant (don't ask, I never did understand that myself). I will GRILL her for you (yes for you, specially, you have not to fear that I will keep the precious information all to myself). However, I am unsure whether she meant that she MET him or she SAW him, which is most likely as her dad's house is a stone's throw away from the pinkie on Totterdown.... She never was very specific about these things.
Complain about this comment
Beatrice: Only 13, luckily a little too innocent to realise what she's missing hehe....any info gratefully received...thanks hun.
VF: Well surprise surprise lol....fancy meeting you on here...now, would this be a good time to recall a certain handsome young chap who's recently come to our attention....can't recall his name....Aidan someone....good actor, in a few things recently on TV, has no aversion to, er, taking his "kit" off....no idea what he means Vampy...have you?
Complain about this comment
anglo (17): Oh no, innocent no.... she just has bad taste. No good on the facebook front, there are too many with her name and no description or photo, so I can't tell which one's her. I will get more info ASAP. And as I said, I'm doing it all for those of you on the AT list (I gave up my place. As I said on a previous page, I seem to have the same potential for a girly crush as a slab of granite.)
VF (14): They're wearing fingerless gloves for the asthetics. Maybe it was cold over there. No, they probably took them off to actually carve the thing, as those hands look rather un-Aidan-ish (although you never know....)
Complain about this comment
anglo (17)...not sure who you mean but if it is who I am thinking of then I have no aversion to him getting his kit of either....none whatsoever......
Complain about this comment
Beatrice (18)....nah, didn't think they were Aidan's hands either...can't see him doing that somehow....not until he has children (if he ever does)...can you imagine how gorgeous at least one of them would possibly be?
VF (19)..yes, you know who it is...I remember you mentioning him some time ago when we were describing....ulp....things....the stuff that weirdly doesn't necessarily get you a visit from the M people but which is a bit explicit anyway...
We'll think of you when the others take photos and stuff....Eagle wants to use my PC when she's here so she might be able to upload them from here to keep us die-hard fans entertained rather than wait until Monday or Tuesday when you'll have all expired through over-exertion/desperation hehe

I've always wondered how to do the carving part properly. i did try once but it was a disaster and i nearly lost a thumb in the process.
In relation to the owner of the gloves, don't think its Aid as his gloves are black and his fingers are broader too - when you see them in full frame! not that i'm obsessed at all just observent!
Complain about this comment
Hmmm, is it just me or do those hands look suspiciously female?
Complain about this comment
(23) You buy a 'specialist pumpkin knife' from your local hardware store/supermarket. It makes it a lot easier to carve, and they're a lot less dangerous finger-wise.

Wow I'm late into the game!
yay for pumpkins. Though I'm not really into them that much myself. Too much effort. lol
Complain about this comment
yeah see i didn't know that 5 years ago when i last tried, i just picked up an average knife and started hacking away. Suprising how stress relieving it was lol.
I agree those hands do look a bit female - well manicured at least!

Eagle: It's brilliant isn't it....love that pumpkin lol
We can buy pumpkins cheap on Sunday and have a go at hacking them to death on Sunday afternoon when we're at the flat...they'll be going cheap by then cos no-one will want them hehe you can take yours home (if we get a small one) if we shove it in the fridge until it's time for you to head back, keep it fresh...give it a name or something....George the pumpkin!

BeingHumanProduction - totally unrelated but any chance we could have some info on the US version of the show? Is it going to be made by our guys? Same production company? Written by Toby? Not sure how these things work. And also - how come they get 13 episodes and we only get 6/8 :-( oh well quality not quantity I suppose :-P
Anyway yeah just a bit of info maybe? What do our guys think about it? Good idea?

Eagle: We could keep 'George' 24hrs in the fridge, it'd be fine and won't start to rot for 24 hrs you can show your nan the mad, insane things you get up to when she's not around to see it well the ones you can tell her about anyway lol...we could give him fangs
Joooos: Hi there, also hi to Cieria and Racey and Beatrice (again)...am all of a dither, less than 2 days left...god I feel like a schoolgirl again!
BH PROD: Thanks a lot for these Halloween treats btw....you spoil us rotten...just keep Aido off that chocolate, we don't want him too high on Saturday.... was that just for the cameras?...I'd be impressed at the rate he was eating it if he really doesn't like the stuff!

Eagle: (35)...lol....can you imagine the state of us if we had to sit through 13 weeks of BH??? We'd be undead ourselves....exhausted with thinking too much about....certain things....and blogging....tweeting endlessly....jeez I'd get the sack because I certainly wouldn't be of a fit mind to work that's for sure...I figure we can just about cope with 8 epi's....thirteen....god what would we be like at the end? lol

Actually scratch that - we can ask on Saturday :-)
By the way I had a bit of an incident with some fake blood earlier - got it all over my hadns they have now swollen up like god knows what think if I want fake blood I'd best make some Aidan stylie (I'm pretty sure anything Aidan stylie would be...actually never mind I dont want VF having a heart attack) but yeah not good :-S why must I be allergic to things its really not attractive - so nobody get any on my on saturday for gods sake lol

49 and 53 - and you wonder why Aidan seemed a little jolly in the last video? If 2 people made that offer within about ten minutes...like I said single tall dark gorgeous irishman + groupies lol you do the maths :-P
On second thoughts I think I'll stay well away from him on Saturday lol if Lenora/Sinead really do read this and relay the information I may well get a slap lol

Eagle: Is it not allowed to love both Russell and Aidan (at the same time!). Does it have to be one or the other? That's a bit mean lol! I'm hedging my bets!
So, who else loves both Aidan and Russell, in a sexy kinda way?

(49)...down there? Excuse me, I think you'll find VF and I got, well, down most places with the vampire several vids ago (in our heads)...hehe...you should have seen some of our previous convo's...positively obscene..great stuff...and we both think the same things at the same time...can you imagine what would happen if we both posted our thoughts at the same time?? lol
We fancy the vampire like hell if you pardon the pun...top to bottom...now there's a thought....Russell is gorgeous too but Aidan....oh brother, you don't want to go there...although perhaps VF, C, Brown and I do...you really don't want to get inside our heads where he's concerned, never know what you might find lol
And on that note, bloggers, I am going to bed...sweet lovely sexy Aidan/Russ dreamy things to you all hehe

Nope... can't afford it at the mo... I'll be going to Housebroken to meet up the blog fans but not to get inside if that makes sense (£78 and the Beautiful One isn't even there!!)
