Plot [edit]
The central premise of Being Human is that diverse types of supernatural beings exist alongside human beings, with varying degrees of menace; that 3 of these supernatural beings are opting to live amid human beings rather than apart from them; and that these three characters are attempting (equally much as is possible) to live ordinary human lives despite the pressures and dangers of their situations. They are constantly threatened with exposure or persecution, with pressure from other supernatural creatures, and with problems caused by their attempts to bargain with their ain natures.
Series 1 (2009) [edit]
Serial i is prepare in the English city of Bristol and introduces George Sands (a reluctant werewolf in his mid-twenties) and John Mitchell (a vampire with the advent and behaviour of a fellow in his mid-twenties who is over a hundred years old). Both are attempting to reject their nature as supernatural predators – George by strictly managing his transformations and their issue on others, Mitchell past abstaining from claret-drinking. Despite a long history of contempt between the werewolf and vampire races, Mitchell and George accept formed a deep friendship, they have depression-profile, low-status jobs every bit infirmary porters and alive as housemates.
Moving into a new house together, they discover that information technology already has an occupant – Annie Sawyer, the ghost of a young woman in her mid-twenties. Annie had lived in the house with her fiancé Owen but died after falling down the stairs. She has remained to haunt the holding while Owen, unaware of her presence, has rented information technology out to Mitchell and George. Equally supernatural beings, George and Mitchell can see, touch on and communicate with Annie, who is delighted to have their visitor and becomes the tertiary fellow member of the surrogate family.
All three have bug, Mitchell's central claiming is his struggle with his desire to feed (which is presented as being similar to a struggle against drug addiction). George's is to manage his monthly werewolf transformations in such a style that he does not kill anyone or pass on the werewolf affliction. He considers his condition to be "a curse", over which he is in a certain state of deprival (including referring to his wolf-self as if it were a unlike person). Annie's challenge is to deal with her new existence as a ghost (including the isolation and loneliness which results from information technology) and to detect the reason why she has remained on Earth instead of passing over to the afterlife.
The remainder of Series 1 deals with the protagonists' attempts to bargain with these situations and with the various characters (human or otherwise) with whom they come up into contact or conflict. All of the problems are finally brought to a ferocious climax which the trio survive merely with their existence no less precarious.
Serial 2 (2010) [edit]
George in his werewolf class
Serial 2 (likewise set in Bristol) deals with the backwash of Series ane. Mitchell must struggle with the dual responsibilities of managing his own urges and attempting to manage the now scattered and rudderless Bristol vampire customs. George must cope with the responsibilities of intimacy and the problem of having passed on his "expletive" despite his all-time efforts. Annie must find a new purpose in her continued presence (having resolved the initial problems that kept her on Globe) and must also deal with the malignant attention of another type of supernatural existence, resident in the afterlife but able to influence events in the earthly world.
The lives of Mitchell, George, and Annie are further complicated by other new factors. There is now a need to fit George's girlfriend Nina into the household, and deal with urgent new problems she is facing herself; there are problems with the constabulary, and two powerful and playful vampires (Ivan and Daisy) have arrived in Bristol with the threat of causing mayhem. The trio are also subject field to the growing attentions of a mysterious organization (peradventure called the Middle for the Study of Supernatural Activity, or CenSSA) led by the scientist Dr Jaggatt and the priest-administrator Kemp. This system has identified and classified the three different types of supernatural creature – vampire, werewolf and ghost – and is continuing to enquiry them, although it is axiomatic from the start that they are quite prepared to let subjects die in the form of the enquiry. The lives of each of the four main protagonists gradually describe them closer and closer to the organization, despite the threat it may pose to all of them.
Series 3 (2011) [edit]
Series 3 saw the protagonists move to Barry Island in South Wales (every bit the effect of events in Series 2). They prepare up house in a old bed-and-breakfast hotel and attempt to resume their "normal" lives, despite the overhang of the results of the Series ii climax, including Mitchell having briefly snapped and murdered twenty people on a train in the Box Tunnel, in Wiltshire. As Serial 3 progresses, the quartet must bargain with the return of diverse figures and events from the characters' pasts every bit well as the complications of their relationships, notably after George and Nina excogitate a child in their werewolf state and must determine what their child volition be. In improver, they must bargain with further supernatural incursions – more than vampires (including a teenager and a pair of suburban swingers), a zombie girl and a pair of werewolves, Tom McNair and his adoptive father (who have set up themselves upwards as vampire hunters). Events pb upward to a finale that leaves the household inverse dramatically. Aidan Turner left the bear witness at the finish of the 3rd series, which also marked the final appearance of Sinead Keenan as Nina.[eight]

Lawyer Nick Cutler, a vampire created by Hal in 1950, plans to betrayal werewolves every bit office of a larger plan involving a vampire conquest of Earth. Cutler tries to go Hal back to his onetime ways of drinking blood, Tom and Annie learning that Hal is actually a former Old One and vampire ruler, with Cutler's efforts eventually succeeding in breaking Hal downward.

Alex leaves angrily just is followed past one of Cutler'south men. Meanwhile, Eve, from the future, reveals to Annie that in her future, most of humankind are dead or living in concentration camps and vampires now rule every inch of the world.

Background [edit]
Creator Toby Whithouse was approached by product company Touchpaper Boob tube to develop a drama series near a group of friends who buy a firm together.[20] Whithouse was non enthusiastic about the idea, but came up with iii characters, George, Mitchell, and Annie. Touchpaper Television liked the characters and so they started developing the project. For months, Whithouse and Touchpaper Goggle box struggled to come up up with a storyline for the first episode. Eventually, they had a final meeting to encounter if they could come up up with a storyline or the project would be scrapped. Whithouse came upwards with the supernatural elements and the characters were inverse.
Pilot episode [edit]
Promotional paradigm from the airplane pilot
Whithouse was contacted by the BBC who told him they were making a series of pilots.[21] Whithouse was not a fan of the television pilot process, but believed that the show would never become made otherwise, so the airplane pilot script was submitted. In 2007, Danny Cohen, the controller of BBC 3, commissioned the airplane pilot of Being Human,[22] as well as West 10 LDN, Mrs In-Betweeny, The Things I Oasis't Told You, Dis/Connected and Phoo Action pilots as function of the rebranding of BBC Three. Before the pilots were broadcast, Whithouse was told that only Phoo Activity would be commissioned for a series. The airplane pilot episode was circulate on 18 February 2008. The journalist Narin Bahar of the Reading Chronicle started an online petition to entrance hall BBC Three commissioning editors to greenlight a full serial, which was signed by over 3,000 people.[23] Phoo Action was cancelled subsequently it was decided that the scripts for the series were not good enough[24] and Being Human was then commissioned.[25]
Casting [edit]
The pilot episode starred Guy Flanagan as Mitchell the vampire, Andrea Riseborough as Annie the ghost, and Russell Tovey as George the werewolf, as well equally featuring Adrian Lester every bit Herrick (the vampire leader and main antagonist of Series 1), Dylan Brown as Seth (some other vampire0 and Dominique McElligott as the recent vampire convert Lauren (converted by Mitchell). With the exception of George and Seth, these parts were recast when the series went into full production.
Filming [edit]
The first and 2d series were ready and filmed in Bristol featuring views of Clifton Suspension Bridge and Clifton Village. Windsor Terrace, Totterdown, Bristol, was the location of Mitchell, Annie, and George's home and the pub shown in the pilot. Scenes set at the hospital where Mitchell and George work were filmed in and around Bristol Full general Infirmary and Glenside, Bristol.
The third serial was filmed and set in Barry (Barry Island). The new house is located on Catechism Street. Some filming took place in Hensol Woods near Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan, in July 2010.[26] The motility to Barry Island and Wales was prompted by the BBC's "Out of London" projection, which sought to move productions away from London and to new product facilities in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.[26] Some interior filming occurred at an abandoned charabanc depot, which had been converted into a pic studio.[27]
On 13 March 2011, Whithouse and BBC Three announced that Being Man would return for a quaternary serial.[vi] [28] 8 threescore infinitesimal episodes were deputed[29] and co-produced with BBC America.[30] The producer also said some old characters would return, and he intended to innovate new ones and that the characters will keep to alive on Barry Island.[6] [28] The filmmakers returned to Barry Isle to film the fourth series in late July 2011, where they continued to use local human being Gary Rowe's business firm as the grouping'southward bed-and-breakfast base of operations of operations.[31] Students from the drama and theatre plan at Coleg Gwent were used every bit extras and in small roles on the show.[32] The internal and external cafe scenes were filmed in the Pillgwenlly expanse of Newport.
Reception [edit]
The airplane pilot episode was not widely reviewed, and some reviews were not positive. A review in The Daily Telegraph called the pilot one of BBC Three's "wildly uneven" new shows.[33] Brian McIver, writing for the Daily Tape felt the evidence lacked sex activity entreatment and that the plot was boring, concluding: "so what?"[34] Only, by late January 2009, the Daily Tape reported that most of the reviews of the pilot had raved near the new testify.[35] Viewership for the airplane pilot was very high,[36] and a massive online petition drive helped turn the airplane pilot into a serial.[35]
Reception of the series has been extremely favourable. Stephen Armstrong in The Guardian gave the evidence a warm review, noting that its chief entreatment was not supernatural or horror. It was, he wrote, "a curious genre mash-up drama well-nigh a ghost, werewolf and vampire sharing a flat in Bristol, which deals more with the horror of living in modern United kingdom than the horror of the undead."[37] David Belcher writing in the Glasgow Herald was effusive, yet, calling the series "Easily the sole practiced programme on BBC3... Beingness Human: the supernatural drama that'due south super in its delineation of human nature."[38] At the conclusion of the first series, Andrea Mullaney of The Scotsman had high praise for the prove's premise and writing:[39]
- "The series started well and seemed to go better about every week. By concluding dark'south decision, it had matured into a marvellously enjoyable and surprisingly affecting show, which turned its punchline of a premise into a metaphor for everyday struggles to brand connections, overcome their selfishness and insecurities and to live a decent life... Remarkably un-clichéd and well written past Toby Whithouse, this was hugely better than about other British attempts at genre shows – the ropey Torchwood, the dreadful Demons and even almost recent episodes of Medico Who."
When it debuted on BBC America in 2009, the show won similar plaudits. The Miami Herald 's Glenn Garvin praised the show'due south residue of humour and pathos: "What it is darkly funny, deeply affecting and utterly cockeyed, a work that celebrates life by dwelling on death, dearest by abiding loneliness. It's a tale of cold, expressionless noses pressed upward confronting the window pane of humanity... Simply for all the laughs, Being Human never loses sight of the menace of its characters."[40] Writing in The New York Times, Alessandra Stanley called the series "compelling" and praised its equal emphasis on horror, remorse, and sense of humour:[41]
- "Three young friends share a shabby flat in Bristol, England, besides equally secrets, and those sound like the fix-up to a corny joke – a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf walk into a bar. Only in this case the bar is a pub and there is no punch line. Being Homo takes the killing – and the perpetrators' anguished remorse – seriously, just still manages to notice the humor in their predicament as these monsters in human being form struggle to blend into normal, almost Seinfeldian life that includes work, going out on dates and having the slow neighbours over for drinks... All three characters are highly appealing, just the amuse of the evidence lies in the fragile balance of engrossing drama and convincing humour; the series is not campy or self-conscious, it's witty in an offhand, understated style."
Writing for the Chicago Tribune, Mary McNamara lauded the show's humour, but emphasised its moral seriousness and metaphorical nature. "[D]espite more a few express joy-out-loud moments, Being Human being is no sitcom, no Will & Grace with monsters," she wrote, "Creator Toby Whithouse takes all the themes associated with the cursed and the damned very seriously, and if his exploration of them is less baroque than other franchises, it promises to be even more constructive. Habit is the obvious comparing, and Whithouse makes it nicely – the relationship betwixt John and Lauren (Annabel Scholey), the woman he hopes is his final victim, plays similar classic junkie dear."[42]
The praise continued throughout diverse periods of the serial' run. Matt Roush from TV Guide, having given disquisitional plaudits to the third series, said of the series, "Can't recommend it highly enough."[43] Reviewing the Series 3 Blu-ray release, the Wichita Falls Times-Record-News noted, "So many movies and TV programmes will suggest how evil people tin can be and how much characters can suffer. Being Human really can make viewers experience something of that horror and awfulness."[44] Melinda Houston, writing for the Sydney Morning Herald, applauded the way the show took the common television theme of the "disenfranchised... suddenly retaliat[ing]" and inverted it.[45] "Moving beyond the teen tropes, it sets itself squarely in a mire of twenty-something Gen Y angst. Existence special and having ability has no upside; being different is a burden and a nuisance and all anyone wants is a life of ordinariness."[45]
