Russell Tovey's "Being Human" coming to BBC America on July 25

Really, this series was such fun when I watched it, and the concept of a neurotic werewolf was played so well.  Tovey is really a gem.  While I didn't really care for the later part, with the vampire war and such, the interactions of the roommates made this series a must watch for me.  My only concern is BBC America editing out the not-inconsiderable amount of Tovey tushie in the series to satisfy American prudishness.  It was particularly on display in the original pilot, which may or may not air as part of the series, since they recast the actress playing the ghost between the "pilot" and episode one.

Just a great, original series, can't say enough about it.

I am so excited to see this finally coming to BBC America. I have seen the pilot and really enjoyed it. Tovey was the strongest of the original actors so its good that he stayed with the development of the eventual series. I am anxious to see how the story evolves. And you can't have enough Tovey tushie. BTW both the ghost and the vampire were recast prior to the series.

I really loved Being Human and was actively happy when the BBC decided to commission another series. I sort of agree about the vampire war taking up too much of the storyline, but it did provide for an absolutely fantastic finale. And the way the ghost grew throughout the series really grabbed me. Strangely, in some ways the werewolf arc was the weakest of the three - although still a damn good story. Like everyone else, I hope BBC America doesn't cut all the nude scenes with Tovey. One of the great things about a naked Tovey is that he has a normal body - which is incredibly sexy. He doesn't have one of those impossibly sculpted torsos that make lesser men feel inadequate. And those ears... oh yeah.

The ghost and the vampire had to be recast from the pilot because the BBC spent too much time faffing about deciding whether to commission a series and the two actors had found other jobs (they also wanted more contemporary vampires in the series so they needed to change the look). Out of all the series, I think my favourite - apart from the finale - was the paedophile episode (not a spoiler). It managed to be funny and human and absolutely horrifying on so many different levels. A great piece of acting and writing.

Hope people enjoy it.  

Looking forward to something to watch while all the regular shows are off the air for the summer.l
