Hope it Comes to Cable
Big Dumb Object mentions an interesting TV pilot that just aired in the UK on BBC3. Entitled “Being Human,” here’s the official synopsis:
Contemporary supernatural drama about George and Mitchell, a pair of perennial outsiders. Working in the anonymous drudgery of the local hospital, they live lives of quiet desperation – because Mitchell is a vampire and George is a werewolf. Deciding to turn over a new leaf, they move into a house together, only to find that it is haunted by Annie, the ghost of a woman killed in mysterious circumstances. As a threesome, they deal with the challenges of being supernatural creatures, bonded by their desire to adopt the lifestyle of their neighbours – humanity.
If you’re in the UK, you can watch it on the BBC iPlayer. If you aren’t, you get a “Sorry, this video is only available in the UK” message. Poop.
Sounds fun. Maybe it’ll show up on BBCAmerica one of these days. (And I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if there was a torrent of the pilot available somewhere for the UK-challenged.)
