Brilliant news - can't wait!!

This is terrific news! - Any word on the timetable for series 2?

Woohoo,
Brilliant news!!!!!
Can't wait
*squeee*

Hurrah!!!! Now * please * can you keep the core cast together .. you may have to promise Lenora a new cardie and uggs for series 2 but budget should stretch to that ;-D

Yay!!!
That is the best news i've heard all day!! I can't wait!! I will definatly be tuning in!!
I just hope the waits not going to be too long between the end of series 1 and series 2 starting! I don't think I could wait for a year! I'm too excited now!!
:D

That's such good news that I signed up to the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Blogs just to register my approval!

Being Human in an excellent series, and the best new British drama in absolutely years. Top work!

Great news! Huge congrats to everyone involved. I'll bake the cake if someone buys and opens the champers.

Woooo! So, so happy! Easily the best british show at the moment at least! And the second series might just tip the balance for it to be my favourite full-stop!! Yay, yay, yay is all I can say! (see what you've done, you've made me poetic with happiness!)

Iam so glad that being human has been recommissioned and i cant wait to see it back.

But since there is nothing els worth watching on TV what the hell am i going to do till its back again?.

Its the best thing on TV
Thanks to Russell Tover.
Who i like a lot more tham i am willing to say.

Words cant hert anybody but the truth can.

I was onece told i had a mouth like a chain saw.

over 15 years of reviewing TV programs world wide all of witch i have never had anything good to say about.
I find that i am unable to say anything bad about this one.

Never any doubt in my mind :-) well done.

How long will we have to wait?

Fantastic. Marvellous. Wow! This is amazing. I'm really glad the series has been renewed for another season. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed the first season. It's so well written and acted. It manages to be Funny / Sad / Scary all at the same time. Even the SFX are great. I'm not ashamed to admit that it's had me laughing my head off one minute and then crying the next. Good job Ö÷²¥´óÐã. And good job all the people that have worked on this fantastic series. It is easily the best 'genre' show that the Ö÷²¥´óÐã has made (Doctor Who is great, Torchwood is OK, Merlin, well... hmmmm...). And it puts other UK programs (Demons, Primeval, etc.) to shame.

DigitalSpy says the show has been renewed for an eight episode 2nd season. Is that true? I hope so.

Amazing news. Now, when's the Season 1 DVD coming out? Play.com says it's out in April. I hope that's true! Please don't make us wait a year like they do for Spooks :-)

Yay, that is great news! So excited to see what happens!

*Puts on George's excited voice*

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE

This is definitely the best show I have seen in a long time - well it's the first show I've ever been compelled to write on a blog about and even register on Ö÷²¥´óÐã blogs!!

Well done - so I guess up to now it's staying on Ö÷²¥´óÐã3 rather than moving to mainstream telly? To be honest, it sort of suits the audience on there - I wouldn't want to spoil it in any way - it's just perfect as it is!

**POP**

That's the Champers open SuperOchre - now are you gonna cut that cake or what!! lol

Precisely what i came to the site to find out - they'd have been mad not to; great!

just wanted to log that i'm not a 'younger' viewer....

Consider this on a par with Life on Mars. taking a surreal angle and write with it as if it was true and normal. This one contains a great metaphor for real human needs and behaviour, and so far the writing has stayed true, maintaining both strands' Good job.

Any chance of the pilot episode(s) again? I loved the renting the flat scene.

How did mitchell and george find each other...?

Dvd to buy and keep please'

Let me just ice it with Toby's face first. This may take a while.

ewww... so not what I meant. "An image of Toby's face" might have been better put.

By the way Ö÷²¥´óÐã bigwigs, if you're ever referred to these forums, I was only just having a conversation with my parents the other day saying that if Being Human (basically the only good thing on TV at the mo, apart from the legend which is Sir David Attenborough) wasn't commissioned for a 2nd series, there would be absolutely no point paying the TV license anymore. TV has been dumbed down so much and even the Ö÷²¥´óÐã, once respected for it's high standards, has succumbed to merely satifying the lowest common denominator and providing youth-obsessed, inane programmes. THANK GOODNESS FOR BEING HUMAN! - The Anti-Trash TV show, hurrah!

*puts on some Gary Numan and starts dancing like Gilbert*

Woohoo

#19-*gets out fingerless gloves and dances with*
#18- I agree with one point. The age thing. I'm 27 and even now the only drama focused group I see are in their teens or early twenties. I sometimes feel like my age group and above have fallen off the planet. So this show has helped in that aspect. Why no one else has tried before or succeeded in mixing all age groups in one bbc drama is beyond me.

Epic news, cant wait, roll on the DVD release so that we have a distraction till series 2

Fabulous new!

Congratulations to all the cast and crew.

Well done the Ö÷²¥´óÐã for actually giving us some thoughtful, witty and grown up drama for once.

Now pass me a glass of that champagne!

Fabulous NEWS (blush)

great news and hope its not an age before its back on screen i have one little beef tho, its not just popular with young viewers I am 49 and i am sure i am not the only more mature viewer. I dont think that age comes into it- good drama is for all to enjoy

Yippeeee! So happy there will be another series, but a little apprehensive -please make sure it's a corker! just like the first. You guys can do it!

I also am 27 & I love this show it definatey appeals to a broad range of people!

I have been singing BHs praises like an overzealous evangelist. Introducing it to people from mid 20s to mid 50s. Everyone who has watched it has loved it.

Yeah, I am 25 and my parents are in their late 50s and we all love BH

"It's hugely popular with young viewers"

Why don't they just say 'viewers' it isn't Skins.

So shall we do a straw poll?

Oh_Suzi is 27

and I am 34.

sperkii we must try and stop posting at the same time.lol

aha yey!!! I'm already excited for the second series, congratulations btw for making it such a great show.
I'm really glad to see it's getting the recognition it deserves it really is a brilliant show.

You definetly can't kill Mitchell now, or send Annie over to the other side aha!

yayyy...well done..now we have something to look forward to in our dreary little lives :0)

less of the "popular with young viewers "...some of us are 40+,have degrees and love all things Das Unheimliche :0)

I'M SO HAPPY!

I'm so relieved and excited and joyful and very much looking forward to the new series. Withdrawal shall have to be eased with repated viewing of the DVD.

This probably has no chance of getting answered, but would anyone be able to tell me where Mitchell's purple baseball jacket is from? I know it's probably from some sort of vintage shop, so I know I'm not going to be able to get another, but I absolutely love it and I'm just curious. In fact, I love every single item of Mitchell's wardrobe.

More straw poll results:

I'm 25. Most of the people on the Livejournal BH comm are the same, or older than me! As one person put it, "I half-expect someone to turn up and tell me to stop watching 'cause I'm over 30." xD

Personally I think all of this warrants a screening on Ö÷²¥´óÐã2 this autumn, while we wait for filming to be finished on series 2. It would work, I'm sure it would!

OH GOD just realised that I'm going to be seeing them filming around Bristol again! Might be the perfect time to make that pilgrimage to the Big Pink House...

Yay, Second series! Congrats to everyone involved in the show, its fantastic and deserves all the success it can handle!

Hey Ben Stephenson ... not just 'young people' watching this you know.

Thrilled there's gonna be another series though.

Cake and champagne sounds good ... count me in ;)

By the way BH, any thoughts on the old competition/auction suggestion? The interest from fans would be massive I reckon, so could be a good charity effort.

OMG! this is brilliant thank you bbc i love you. this is the best program yet it has every elemet needed no wondser it is coming back hurray !

They won't auction stuff off if there is a new series, they kinda need it.
But in the interest of greediness.. I baggsy Mitchell's coat for a max bid of... *empties pockets* £11.28.

I'm so glad it's been recommissioned. It totally took my breath away how good the series was (both the writing and the acting --- and not just the leads, even the minor characters). I mean I thought it would be good but I didn't realise it would be SO good.
I can't wait to see how the characters/stories will evolve over the next series.

Lol like you sperkii i had very little doubt but still i actually just jumped up and went yaaaaaaaaaaay!! Cant wait - any news of a date yet?!?!

yay yay yay lol

Damn 11.28 i have....erm 13 pence lol can i have the gloves instead? Id actually wear them lol might be able to rake a few more quid out from somewhere :-S

So wheres the party then? I'll put another cake in the oven one wont be enough!! :-D The Ö÷²¥´óÐã have done something right and great for once lets make the most of this rare event lol

oh ps. agree about the age thing but theyve given us what we wanted so lets not nit pick :-) if they want to think we're all 16 then let em :-)

While we wait for the new series, how about a re-run of this series, inc. the pilot, at the end of October...

Maybe it will prove even more mainstream than The Brass think.

well the people who made that statement might be in their 60's so we would still seem very young.
but i agree, i will be 16 if they like, as long as they keep this series going i don't care.

more champers?

I never ever ever normally write on these things...but I am so pleased being human has a second series...its the best thing on tv for ages... I love everything about it. lets hope there is a 3rd 4th 5th and beyond series. Hope we don't have to wait too long and hope there are more episodes next time. I am dreading the end of series one its the only show on tv I will not miss. Well done everyone...well deserved.

And for Annie's (fake?) Uggs I will be bidding a max of 79.99 (local stores sale price). as long as she is size 4; otherwise I retract my last statement.

THRILLED! OVER-JOYED! ASTOUNDED! OVER-THE-MOON!
Well done, dear ol' Ö÷²¥´óÐã!

This is great news! I am so happy there is something for us to look forwards to in the next few months!
Thank you so much!

AS for the poll... I am 39 this year , my husband is 43 and I have had great conversation with some of the students teach (15 to 17) about Being Human!

Oh!
Any champagne left?
Ta very much!!

Cake is on the table :-)

April 20th noted!
Marked in calendar!

Whoo hoo!

Yay someone from the BH team come to join the party come on plenty of cake left...ooh pass the party rings :-D

This is the best news ive had this year...although this probably says more about the state of my life than anything lol.

Just promise you'll let us know as soon as youow any dates - April 20th already marked on the calendar i want to make sure im first in hmv that morning :-S dont wanna wait for amazon to post it to me 7 weeks is long enough cant wait another one for the postman :-)

Any chance of you letting us know about the special features? will all the shorts off here be on there? or the pilot episode? :-) thanks again and glad you're enjoying the cake and champers lol

I hate party rings. Jammy dodgers or Jaffa cakes are a whole different story though.

eagles_eyes, I don't think people are nit-picking as much as pointing out that this show appeals to much more than a Ö÷²¥´óÐã3 audience, and that maybe Ö÷²¥´óÐã could wheel it out elsewhere and secure us enough viewers for a THIRD series, too.

We're just thinking ahead.. ;P

This is great news. This is one of the best dramas the Ö÷²¥´óÐã has done recently -never mind one of the best supernatural dramas. Way better than Torchwood. The writing is excellent - funny and still scary too. The characters are being allowed to develop and grow, especially Annie, and you really care about them. And what a great villain is Herrick? Really creepy. I'm 43 - so this is not just a drama for twenty somethings. The analogy with being alienated from society, not feeling you fit in and looking for people you can connect with is beyond just a fantasy drama. I'd love to find out how Mitchell and George met. Perhaps the Ö÷²¥´óÐã will put it on Ö÷²¥´óÐã2 - a lot of people don't have digital yet and are missing out.

ABSALUTLY FANTASTIC NEWS!!!
easily the best show on TV at the moment and thank god the Ö÷²¥´óÐã listened to its viewers, it makes the ending of series 1 just a little bit easier to take
Also I agree with the age thing, i'm 19 and a lot of my mates love the show, well done toby whitehouse & all the team :-)

If we're still bidding on clothes and props, Seeing as no one seems to appreciate the retro look I'll give you 99p for Georges orange shirt and a scrap of gnome wallpaper - it reminds me of my nans house.

Btw is that a picture from the wrap party? If it is then, I can't help but notice that the cast all dress a lot like their characters. That's kinda cool and makes me wonder if they had any influence on their costumes.

yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

amazing first series so far, can't wait for the last episode!!!

congrats to all involved in this series, and seriously looking forward to series two!!

|Miss_Beadie - looks like a photo on set from episode three to me. Gilbert's 80s night?

Yup I was just about to say that you beat me to it.
they all have exactly the same attire on as they do in Ep 3

Yeah was just gonna say i think its an ep 3 pic in memory of Gilbert (RIP) :-) think lenora must be sick to the back teeth of those clothes by the end of filming doubt shed wear them to the party :-) i left a comment earlier and it hasnt shown up hmm very odd

I have never signed up for anything like this before (and therefore I am not entirly sure what to write.......so its pretty much a ramble, sorry!!! :o) )but hearing the brilliant news that Being Human is coming back for another series made me just have to!!!!!

I have found the writing, casting, characters and story combine to make this to be really compelling viewing. So very wity - and so addictive!!!
Thank you!!! I am looking forward to it already. :o)

I thought it might be from episode three but I thought Annie was wearing her usual cardie in that episode. This looks more like the top she is wearing in the preview for episode 6.

woohoooo!!! so so happy about this!!!

ok so now, how long we going to have to wait???

YEAY im sooooo happppppieeee i simply love this series soo much that im going on about so much got some of my friends watching to. Im 25 and my friends or all between 25 to 53 so not just for the younguns. im with OH_SUZY ill be there at hmv first thing on april 20th.

thanks to every one involed i cant wait for new series or new ep only one day left yeay.

is there any cake left?!!!!

Yep we made lots lol

It does look a bit different (annies cardigan) but i think maybe its just pulled across? she has about 3 i think its on here somewhere but i think she has 3 slightly different ones hmmm someone watch ep 3 for me and finf out lol i cant watch them online only download them and 3's has run out now :-(

I am sooooo happy there is going to be a second series, I can't believe there is only one episode left in series 1. Well done to everyone involved, you're all brilliant!

Fantastic news. have loved the show ever since I saw the pilot last year and the series has got better and better. Best thing on TV at the moment! Well done

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

yay! this is great news. I can't wait for series two and series one hasn't even finished yet! it'll be a difficult wait, though. Well done Ö÷²¥´óÐã for making the right decision!

I'm absolutely pleased with Being Human being recommissioned. I saw the pilot and thought it was good, but I'm glad you guys re-casted some of the actor/actress I felt the chemistry was lacking between the characters in the pilot.

I'm normally not much of a die hard sci-fi fan but what I love about this programme is the character match ups seems very odd but they're all likeable. And one of the best programmes on Ö÷²¥´óÐã3 I've seen in a while. :-)

Haaaaah - I get to this page by googling the words being human & it used to come up with a link not unsurprisingly called
'being human'
now it comes up with a link that states
'Ö÷²¥´óÐã3 - Never afraid to try new stuff that gets under 35's talking'
I'm glad they've clarified what a younger audience is - it's nice to know 27 is young! Sorry all you 35+ s you've totally lucked out!

Glad that there will be a 2nd series! It is a really good, interesting programme. I watched it on Ö÷²¥´óÐã I player, as I don't have Ö÷²¥´óÐã3, so that's a good 'service'. Aiden Turner (who plays Mitchell) is really good looking and plays the role well.

Well, as a 44 year old totally hooked on this first class comedy drama, I won't object to being called old. The commisioning of second series is completely justified,

For those that remember, (and with apologies to "Not the nine o'clock news") I think the television licence fee is far too low. I would have willingly sold my house and all its contents to help the Ö÷²¥´óÐã to provide us with a second series of Being Human!

Julst wanted to say that being human has been the main topic of conversation for me and my friends for the last month. We all think its the best thing on tv and are over the moon we are going to get a second series. Russell Tovey is brilliant as George. He is a young man with a brilliant career ahead of him. Loving Lenora and Aiden too tho. Thanks bbc 3 for making sunday nights brilliant.

That's excellent news! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for when you start filming... I think you should have me as an extra as I'm only down the road ;)

By the way I'm also not a younger viewer I'm 29, all my friends watch it who are of a similar age so it's certainly not just for the youngsters :)

Yeay i havent had cake in ages!!!

Once again just great news cant wait for later tonight. but im sad the last ep for a while. i dont no what im gona do till the new series but at least we get a dvd. but as the dvd is coming out so soon i doubt the 1st series will be showen on the normal chanels (thats bbc 1 and 2) or no one will buy it a part from us freaks that is

FANTASTIC news :-)

WHOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO

I prefer th term 'fans' rather than 'freaks' ;)

This is brilliant!
Cannot wait till it's back on again! After tomorrows episode i don't know what i will do until the second series... Probably buy the dvd and watch it everyday ;)

I read somewhere that the second series would be an 8 episode series. Is this true?

Pass the cake :)
*Starts dancing to 'Barbie Girl' which seems to be on loop*

sorry but i think abit of freak never hurt anyone

Fabulous news! This has been one of the best things I've watched for years and I've absolutely loved every bit of it.

One thing though, it's a shame Gilbert was only there for one episode. He was great....don't suppose he'll be making a surprise come back?! ;-D

Excellent news, simply the best thing on tele. The house is about 5 minutes walk from where I live so i'll keep you posted for activity- none to be seen this afternoon though, all empty inside!

WOOO WHOO AMAZING!! i'm so glad there will be another!! and lets hope after that there will be another!!

Excellent news!!!Congratulations everyone.

yay! yay! double yay!

Really happy for you lot, hope we don't have to wait too long for series 2! waiting for the last episode of the series is killing me! lol

Pat on the back to all the cast, crew and Ö÷²¥´óÐã Three peoples for a great show! Can't wait to see what you have in store for series 2! but please please don't lose any of the main 3!

Oh hurry up!!!!! HOW CAN YOU LEAVE EPISODE 6 LIKE THAT???

lol its just such a good job we knew about series2 before the last episode it softens the blow ever so ever so slightly :-(

fantastic...I love it ....feeling depressed I have to wait for series 2... hope it is soon.... I had to fast forward to the end so I could enjoy the episode...

OMG!!! I just watched the finale and episode 6 was the best yet! I can't wait for series 2 thank you Ö÷²¥´óÐã!!!

OMG!!!!! I honestly can't put into word's how HAPPY i am to hear this!. Well done everyone for making such an amazing show, you have every right to be so proud of yourselves!. Roll on series 2!!!!!. x

Amazinggg :)
cant wait till the next series (L)(I)
& is the cast changing ?!!:O
because if so thats a bit shit likes..

x

great can not wait bring on the angels demons witches and sorcers and all the creatures from the dark side of humanity.

also thanks for showing the duality of wot makes us such an interesting species.

Yipee!! 45 and lovin it.You've made my day well night actually! best thing on tv.

*does a happy dance*

We need more than 8 episodes this time though. Come on Ö÷²¥´óÐã if you can make 13 episodes of "Merlin" you can do the same for Being Human (which is infinitely superior in my, perhaps biased, view . . . )

Lol true they manage to drag some right drivel on for 13/14 episodes but we only get 6? :-( Well they cant be accused of milking it can they lol next series is gonna be 8 which is only 2 months isnt it :-( thinkwe coulda done with about 10/12 but then they know best and is suppose they dont want to drag it out and as they say - absence makes the heart grow fonder lol

Wicked!! Love the show, and all the cast and crew deserve a big pat on the back for giving us viewers something to get excited about every sunday!...cant wait for the return!!

Just watched the last episode. Mind blowing series, congrats folks. Looking forward to the next series!
