Being Human

Lurking in the 10:35 slot on BBC1 on Thursday nights is a bit of a hidden gem called Being Human originally shown on BBC3. Set in Bristol the programme shows a different side of the city to that shown in teen comedy drama Skins. The show centres on three main characters sharing a house however these aren't normal flatmates. John Mitchell is a vampire, George Sands a werewolf and Annie Sawyer is a ghost. The story sees the characters trying to live with their conditions until they discover a plot by the head vampire, Herrick, which sees the whole world either turned into vampires, or kept like cattle as food.

Filming is currently taking on a second series which is due to air in Spring 2010 on BBC3.
