It’s 2014.
Happy New Year!
(Insert obligatory exclamations about where did the time go etc. etc.)
Another new year but this year is different to the five before it in that there will be no new series of Being Human to look forward to.
(Small sob)
The fanbase is still there, still strong, still obsessed faithful! Probably still arguing over who was Mitchell’s true love (Josie), had Herrick really lost his memory (no, well, sort of), were they really human (No!) (NO!) and exactly how old was Ivan?! The answer to that one is: it depends… If you believe series two he’s 237 but if you believe Toby – and why wouldn’t we* – he’s over 400 as he said here.
* He has been known to be a touch misleading…
There is still tutting over toxic werewolf blood, summoning/banishing/imprisoning/whatever the devil rituals, off stage deaths (Oh, Pineapples…) and whatever happened to Arthur the archivist? (OK, maybe that one’s just me.) There are still damp gussets galore over Mitchell and Hal… although not mine. That won’t surprise you much but to be honest I’ll keep the state of my gusset to myself thanks.
If none of the above makes sense to you – welcome! Now go back and catch up. I’ll wait.
People are still visiting this little blog – for which I am very grateful and always slightly surprised – but now Being Human is over there won’t be regular updates. However – if, or more likely when, something occurs to me (which I’m pretty sure it will) I’ll still post. If you’re interested do follow and you’ll get a notification as and when there’s anything new. (Sales pitch over – as you were.)
In fact to whet your appetite there is a new post brewing at the moment – I’ve been thinking about the Being Human humans…
Watch this space.
Not literally. You can go and sit down somewhere comfy.
Be seeing you!

It seems timely to go right back to the beginning – and the three prequels for our original trio… (Not forgetting Herrick’s first appearance of course!)
a house, a job, a TV licence... 
Hi, good days to all the Being Human fandom. A long time ago, this blogger was known as Saintixe. Since… some would say I have broken the pact of the wolves. I beg to differ.
Each personality takes on different directions as time flies. Mitchell re-united with his ‘decent’ self; Herrick discovered there was still a dawn, a beginning for him. Season 4 offered a new story most cruelly gagged and strangled by BBC3 in season 5.
Where would Toby have taken us if… Do we still grieve?… Where are we? Who are you now?
Thank you, Aqua for reminding us that something warm ans slightly red (a lot red) is still inside us.
Have we moved on? Yes and no.
Just like Life we have ‘evolved’. Though I feel confident Snarky Father Mark is still around just as much Hettie cannot have been ‘jumped’ over the Bermuda Triangle.
Humans are still there while unseen sharks prowl in our supposedly safe ‘civilized’ ponds.
I shall provide this nugget: Jim Jarmusch will release in February (6 weeks from now) his take on vampires. Very old ones indeed. Hal and Cutler would approuve though it would only get a sneer from Windham and Snow.
Only Lovers Left Alive. I hold it that this title would meet with Mitchell and Josie approval….
