T.V Time – Being Human
 |
| L-R : Damien Molony (Hal), Lenora Crichlow (Annie), Michael Socha (Tom), Russell Tovey (George) |
So
its series 4 of Being Human and I have watched the show from the very beginning
and have always been a huge fan. Now however (SPOILER ALERT) with 3 of the main
cast having left I was sceptical to how it would continue.
So
as you know if you have seen series three we found out that Nina was pregnant
with George’s baby, and in the series finale Mitchell (Aiden Turner) was killed
by George.
The
series opens with a flash forward to 2037 and a ‘resistance’ group are
sheltering from a world which has been destroyed by vampires. When we flip back
to the current time and we find out that Nina (Sinead Keenan)
has been killed and a distraught George is protecting their new-born baby from
the new army of vampires against them.
After
being tricked into fighting the vampires there is one scene in the first
episode which was particularly emotional this was when poor George (Russell Tovey)
met his end by tricking his body into thinking it was a full moon, to fight of
the vampires, however when he changes back his it is too much for his body to
cope with so as the door opens for him to enter the spirit world he tells Annie
(Lenora Crichlow)
and Tom (Michael Socha, who has now been
promoted to a full time cast member), that he has to go through so he can be
with Nina, and tells Annie he wants her to look after the baby.
During
the episode you only get small glimpses of Hal (Damien Maloney) the newest cast
member, but we can figure out that he will fill the vampire shaped hole left by Mitchell.
Overall
I really enjoyed the first episode, and I think that the rest of the series
looks promising; if you haven’t seen it you can catch it on BBC Iplayer, if you
have seen it let me know what you thought.
Being
Human airs on BBC Three on Sundays at 9:00pm
