If you can help identify the scenes where some of these tracks were used or if you think I've missed a track, please let me know.

And, as death's door opens for her again, is this really the end of Annie?

George Moving - Being Human - Series 2 Episode 6 Preview - BBC Three

NOTE: the press release states that series 2 is only 6 episodes. I’m assuming this is a misprint and that BBC America will broadcast all 8.

February 12, 2010

- Hit sci-fi show back for two U.S. premiere seasons -
BBC AMERICA today announced the acquisition of two new U.S. premiere seasons of the BBC AMERICA co-production, Being Human. The show’s highly anticipated second season will premiere in late summer with the third season following shortly.

· Being Human (S1, 6 x 60 and S2, 6 x 60) is a Touchpaper Television and BBC AMERICA co-production for the BBC and is distributed by RDF Rights, part of the RDF Media Group.

Being Human premiered on the channel in July 2009 and quickly won over fans, with a sold out crowd at last year’s San Diego Comic Con. The Los Angeles Times said it “has not only avoided any sci-fi Three’s Company comparisons but wound up with a compelling, self-aware and funny story line. Buffy fans – come out of the Twilight and sink your teeth into this import” with The New York Times noting that “All three characters are highly appealing, but the charm of the show lies in the delicate balance of engrossing drama and disarming humor; the series is not campy or self-conscious, it’s witty in an offhand, understated way.”

Russell Tovey, Lenora Crichlow and Aidan Turner return as George, Annie and Mitchell, the three twenty-somethings trying to live as normally as possible despite being a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost. After the death of vampire leader Herrick at the end of season one, the supernatural friends are hoping they can now get on with their lives, but an even greater danger is lurking, within the very human world of which they want to be a part.

Werewolf George is coming to terms with the fact that he has Herrick's blood on his hands, and a girlfriend who knows his horrific secret. Meanwhile, turning down the door of death has implications for ghost Annie, but her confidence is at a peak and she’s determined to stand up and be counted in the real world. And, with Herrick gone, Mitchell must appease the vampire world - can he find a way to lead by example?

The entire first season of Being Human is currently available on iTunes and Xbox LIVE Martketplace.

Rob Pursey, Executive Producer, Touchpaper Television says: “‘BBC Three continues to provide us with a great opportunity to make unusual, ambitious drama, and we are very excited to be able to take the new series of Being Human into fresh territory. With the new location in mind, we’ve already established some startling new storylines and characters. We’ll also aim to deliver plenty more exclusive online content in the gaps between series.”

Piers Wenger, Head of Drama, BBC Cymru Wales says: "BBC Cymru Wales is proud to have worked with Toby Whithouse and the team at Touchpaper on the last two series of Being Human and is thrilled that an editorial opportunity has arisen for them to bring the show to Wales. We look forward to continuing working with that team and Being Human’s superb cast on its third series and for many more to come.”

A third series of Being Human is a BBC Cymru Wales production and has been commissioned by Ben Stephenson, Controller, BBC Drama Commissioning and Danny Cohen, Controller, BBC Three.

Being Human is written by Toby Whithouse (Torchwood, Doctor Who) and the third series will be produced by Phil Trethowan. Executive Producers are Rob Pursey, Touchpaper Television, and Beth Willis, BBC Wales.

GAY TIMES HOT TV: BEING HUMAN EXCLUSIVE

GT caught up with stars of the massive BBC drama Being Human, to chat about getting naked on screen, standing out in a saturated genre, and how Russell Tovey feels about being an out gay actor.

Lenora on recent success of all things supernatural

“It does feel like the market is quite saturated with this genre at the moment. But, I must say, Being Human to me still stands out because it’s got the aspect of three heroes all playing against their supernatural. They’re all trying to be human, so it kicks against the genre and keeps the show real.”

Aidan on his naked scenes in the new series

“I had a scene last week where I’m completely covered in blood and naked. There’s got to be one scene, it’s in our contracts. Tovey’s always getting his kit off.”

Russell on the roles he would like to play in the future

“I wanna play a really good rent boy... I think it’ll be great, this really, kinda screwed up but nice tart with a heart but a rent boy equivalent. That’s kind of what I’d really like to do.”

Russell on being an out gay actor

“I’m lucky, really, really lucky. I think because it just isn’t an issue to me. Everybody knows and hopefully people will judge me on my work. I don’t know what it would be like if I wanted to go and do things in the States. I think out there it seems to be a lot more closeted. Like you don’t talk about it and if you are out then all you’re going to play is Rupert Everett roles.”

The new issue of GT also features Glee, Ugly Betty, Skins, Drag Race and Modern Family and is on sale 27 January, 2010.

GT is on sale through all major high street brands and supermarkets and is distributed in the UK and overseas by Conde Nast and National Magazine Distributors Limited.

Being Human (Series 2) Ep 1/8

Sunday 10 January
9.30-10.30pm BBC THREE

Russell Tovey, Lenora Crichlow and Aidan Turner return in the second series of the hit BBC Three drama following the lives of three housemates who also happen to be a werewolf, a ghost and a vampire. The series gets off to a gripping start as the consequences of George murdering Herrick begin to catch up with him.

After a night in the pub, George and Mitchell are challenged in a dark alley by married vampires Ivan and Daisy, who are looking to taunt the pair in retaliation for the downfall of their late leader. Daisy, however, has more than revenge on her mind.

As well as the conflicts with the supernatural, George also has issues closer to home with his relationship with Nina. Clearly under strain after Nina's dramatic discovery of George's secret, the couple seem to be avoiding the consequences it has for each of them.

Nina seeks comfort from Annie, who is wholeheartedly embracing her newfound confidence by applying for a job as a barmaid at the local pub. Annie sets about her mission with her usual gusto, much to the bemusement and concern of her housemates.

Meanwhile, Mitchell meets new doctor Lucy in the hospital toilets and her sharp wit and honesty capture his attention.

Duly distracted by the new trials unfolding in their individual lives, the friends are unaware of the ominous threat that could be facing them. Are the supernatural friends safe in the world they're desperate to be part of?

Russell Tovey plays George, Aidan Turner plays Mitchell, Paul Rhys plays Ivan, Amy Manson plays Daisy, Sinead Keenan plays Nina, Lenora Crichlow plays Annie and Lyndsey Marshal plays Lucy.

Being Human is simulcast on the BBC HD channel – the BBC's High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.

Three Being Human novels are to be released by BBC Books on February 4th 2010. They can be pre-ordered now via Amazon.co.uk:

Being Human: Bad Blood
“One of Annie's oldest friends has come looking for her - and what's more amazing is that she's found her. Denise is the ultimate party girl, and she's determined to bring Annie out of her shell. Mitchell is delighted, but George really thinks the last thing they need to do is to go out and meet new people. Annie and Denise throw themselves into organizing a Bingo night at the local sports hall - after all, it's for charity, and what's not to love about having a good time? But why is Denise back in town? Why have Bristol's vampires suddenly started hanging around wherever they go? And why does George get the feeling that Bingo night is going to go horribly, horribly wrong? This title features Mitchell, George and Annie, as played by Aidan Turner, Russell Tovey and Lenora Chichlow in the hit series created by Toby Whithouse for BBC Television.”


Being Human: Chasers
“George’s friend, Kaz, arrives at the flat with a staggering request: she and her partner Gail want to have a child, and they'd like George to be the father. George is warming to the idea - he's always wanted kids, and he can be as involved in the baby's life as he wishes - but he is wary: what if his condition is genetic? Mitchell and Annie don't approve of the new plan, but Mitchell is wrestling with a difficult decision of his own. His new friend, Leo, is surprisingly good company for a pasty older bloke who believes the 1980s were a golden age. But he seems a little too interested in Mitchell's family and history - and he has a surprising request of his own in store for his new friend...It features Mitchell, George and Annie, as played by Aidan Turner, Russell Tovey and Lenora Crichlow in the hit series created by Toby Whithouse for BBC Television.”


Being Human: The Road
“Annie has learned quite a bit about her new friend Gemma: she's 40, she used to work in a pharmacy, and she's never forgiven herself for the suicide of her teenage son. She also died ten years ago and doesn't know why she's come back through that door. Perhaps it has something to do with the new road they're building through the rundown part of town. The city's plans are sparking protests, and Annie knows those derelict houses hold a secret in Gemma's past. Will stopping the demolition help Gemma be at peace again? Annie wants George and Mitchell to join the road protest, but they're more concerned by mysterious deaths at the hospital. Deaths that have also attracted the attention of the new Hospital Administrator. This title features Mitchell, George and Annie, as played by Aidan Turner, Russell Tovey and Lenora Crichlow in the hit series created by Toby Whithouse for BBC Television”

On February 04th, 2009 BBC America announced that Being Human, along with two other sci fi dramas, will premiere in the US during 2009. The full press release is as follows:

BBC AMERICA ANNOUNCES THREE SCI FI DRAMAS - BEING HUMAN, SURVIVORS AND A NEW SEASON OF PRIMEVAL
BBC AMERICA today announced three highly anticipated sci-fi dramas: BBC AMERICA co-production Being Human and the acquisitions of Survivors and a new season of Primeval. All three shows will premiere later in 2009.

· Being Human (6 x 60), a Touchpaper Television and BBC AMERICA co-production for the BBC, distributed by RDF Rights, part of the RDF Media Group.

· Survivors (1 x 90, 5 x 60), a BBC production distributed by BBC Worldwide.

· Primeval (10 x 60), an Impossible Pictures production for ITV, distributed by BBC Worldwide.

BEING HUMAN - U.S. PREMIERE
Mixing the mythic with the commonplace, the farcical with the horrific and the domestic with the epic, this BBC AMERICA co-production is a witty and extraordinary look into the lives of three twenty-somethings and their secret double-lives – as a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost. The trio do their best to live their lives as normally as possible, despite their strange and dark secrets. But with unwelcome intruders into their world, a threatened revolution from the vampire underworld and constant threats of exposure – on top of the day-to-day issues faced by young people – the only thing they may be able to rely on in their heightened world, is each other.

SURVIVORS - U.S. PREMIERE
The chilling new apocalyptic drama, Survivors, focuses on the world in the aftermath of a virus that has wiped out 99% of the human race. The lonely few who remain struggle to start over in a devastated world where everything that was once safe and familiar is now strange and dangerous. At the center of the story is a bewildered but resilient group of survivors led by Abby Grant (Julie Graham), a woman whose strength comes from a burning need to find out if her young son is still alive. This brave new world brings an opportunity for new beginnings, but also terrible dangers – not just the daily struggle for food and water, but a deadly threat from other survivors.

PRIMEVAL - U.S. PREMIERE
Sci-fi thriller Primeval roars back onto BBC AMERICA. When evolutionary zoologist Nick Cutter (Douglas Henshall) discovers prehistoric creatures alive and well in the present day, the natural world is turned on its head and humanity faces a threat to its very existence. Unexplained anomalies are ripping holes in the fabric of time, allowing creatures to roam the modern world. In the new season Cutter struggles with the death of his assistant and his wife’s betrayal, while the cloak of secrecy behind which they’ve been working is beginning to slip.
