THE DAY RUSSELL'S DREAM CAME TRUE
Time to let you in on a little-known Being Human secret...
Once upon a time (August 2009 to be exact), Russell Tovey was up to his usual mischief on set and started chatting to the BH Blog team about action figures. It was his ambition to get a mini-Russell made, and he wanted the viewers' ideas for the design. So far so fun, but that's not the end of the story. What not a lot of people know is that Russell DID actually get a lovingly-crafted action figure made by Andi Mears the BH2 Costume Assistant and today we can reveal the never-before-seen pictures of Russell's dream come true...
The gift was revealed in the final week of filming at the end of November last year.
Russell was surprised and amazed by Andi's handiwork. The two figures came in an ingenious double-sided box, with one half dedicated to George the man and the other to George the werewolf. (Unconfirmed reports suggest it was a shoebox with the lid glued on the bottom).
Here's what the kit contained...
- Wolf doll complete with fangs and claws
- George doll complete with trademark specs and blue fleece
- Holdall for carrying transformation kit
- Tracksuit
- Spare trainers
- Bottle of water
- Bananas
- Chicken... on a string, of course.
As you can see Russell loved his gift...
...and that, dear reader, was the day Russell's dream came true.

Re the action figures: I was talking to the guy who owns the Sci-Fi Collectors Store in the Strand, and it turns out they are the people who comissioned and made the Torchwood and Merlin figures. He said they were still in negotiations to expand on the TW ones in the future, but when I said: "All I need now are some Being Human actions figures, then I can die happy", he replied that anything is possible.
Could this have been a not-so-subtle hint that there are indeed figures on the horizon?! :D

Admittedly major event in ep 6 not a surprise that was when the funeral parlour went Boom last series after all but now to understand my mind.
First I remember a lot and have this weird ability to be able to predict most plot lines.
In my youth I could when ill and watching daytime murder shows sometimes predict in the first 5 minutes who would die who did it and who would be the false suspect.
I was ill when I watched them so don't judge.
The spoilers are a pivot point as you said from which if I heard I could probably know much more of the plot in eps 1 -5 than I've guessed already and as I have a good memory I would very much remember.
Temptation.
Then there is the fact that some of those who now know the spoilers might make a slip on the blog in January and reveal more than they should.
Temptation
and then there is the overwhelming desire to know so please if I give in and ask on twitter at a later date please remind me of this and tell me no, please remember Tell Me NO.
Lead us not into temptation
Also I'm glad to know that Lenora is coping.

Ivan appeared all the way through series 2 as did Daisy they were both major plot changers all throughout the series it's self.
Seth appeared in episode 6 in series one as well the point is that all you've revealed is that the major pivot point is not McNairs death something that if it does occur will - option one be Herrick regaining memories and his death to hide the fact Herrick is Herrick again or by his actions cause George or Nina to kill him in self defence.
there are probably more options but those are the most obvious to come to mind.
side note - Funerals are not the hardest time you can follow a script where to stand what to say or sing, it is the wake when you remember and find that your loved one is no longer there to join in the telling of the stories and correct you when they see you've made a mistake that hurts the most that has been the way for me at least. So that is where any support offered should be given and hopefully it was.

At 29th Sep 2010, ewan wrote:I don't know any excess spoilers apart from the ones disused on this blog and most of those are my guesses apart from what I have learnt from others on this blog.
Herrick with amnesia spending time in the new house.
the fact that there will be another new werewolf not just Robsen Green the fact the werewolves are a different breed to George and Nina.
the threat coming from within.
Mitchell finding love and traversing Doorways to get Annie back. and getting aid in the form of Lacy Turner.
the fact that due to a photo I saw They are in a different hospital with different shade of scrubs for Nina, plus the white trainers are gone the ones in the photo I saw seem to be converse.
There is going to be a pretty big fight in the opening episodes as all three corporal members of the gang either by photos or in interviews again make a comment or show evidence of it.
According to Marcus's Twitter there is lots of blood denoting either violence or vampires possibly both and there was a bag marked body parts either one of our werewolves or the mythology of RG and friend werewolves killing vampires were responsible.
the increase in night shoots mentioned means either night shoots or Werewolf action. this could mean that the story line is longer than last series around three months or werewolf flashbacks.
the fact there will be a scene in a compound from what I saw will star Mitchell and Nina (based on shirt colour)
Wendy and Bob will either be human neighbours or defiantly in bobs case something to do with the werewolves.
from what I saw in a previous bog George and Nina do look to be invited round at some point.
Herrick at least used to enclose werewolves together to see them fight to the death and possible brutal mauling of the victor (Mitchell was with him till at least the 60's so was he ever involved in this?)
Annie visits an night club possible visibility - opinions vary on this.
That is what I think is known and theorised so far - from the blog only. if I had more information I would not have any time for myself as I would be working on other possible connotations that would be out there for me that is why I shouldn't even if I beg be given too many spoilers till the show is running not because I don't like to speculate or share what I know it's just what obsessive traits I have have to be managed or who knows how I'll be in January.

So there is one theory
2 - We will have to see at least the surroundings of the 'sick thing vampires did to werewolves' will this involve McNair (RG) I don't know.
or the two combined as one Herrick maybe commenting as a human he watched dog fights but this is more fun who knows.

We also don't know that much about the werewolf history so I'm looking forward to viewing that background. I've been wondering if they age normally, or are they slighlty immortal in that sense?

here goes.
start off with a random werewolf waking up looking for their 'double' bag of kit hearing something Oh no it's day trippers between them and their kit. running round them but one of them finds the kit and is showing it to the others in the party. hilarity ensues as the werewolf tries to retrieve it that werewolf then is shown meeting George and Nina.
a note about the werewolf ageing - in my scribbles I suggesting something called 'slowing' they age slower than humans because of the general changing and changing back slowing down the degeneration of DNA. this was in answer to thoughts when Nina s2 e2 says when George comments on her smoking.
"Besides you've done more to shorten my life expectancy than these ever could."
My thought was that either
1. all she knew about werewolves came from George who tried to know the bare minimum about his condition. Mitchell a vampire who wouldn't know much but would have seen them killed a lot by vampires, and Annie whose knowledge came from Buffy.
or 2. the fact that the world she is living in now is violent and hazardous to her continued health.
also not modded or back on the blog yet any heads up on -40- BHP it would abate my paranoia over what I did or came close to doing that might have alerted the moderator attention can I get a hint about that - or not I can stew for a while longer I guess.

On the aging werewolf thing, I really can't figure it out. Because, transforming seems like such a violent physiological change, wouldn't that shorten life expectancy? But maybe the DNA make up is altered and so they don't age? So many questions haha.

not to sure about the quote accuracy for George.
s2 ep 8
George : that little guy he stank of adrenalin couldn't you smell it

still not sure on Georges line.
now both these comments hint that there has been a fundamental shifting of their respective DNA. now whether this had a derogatory or positive result on their life expectancy we don't know or at least haven't been told speculation is the only thing we can do till we get told and as this next season is more werewolf centric we can hope to find out.

Can I just start by saying.. oh my.. this doll is officially amazing! Russell must be so proud!! I'm so happy for him lol! "Go Russell, Go Russell" :D
Also, I seem to have missed a LOT while I've been away.
Obviously, this is the first time I've been on the blog in a long, long while, due to personal reasons and what have you, and it's a huge shame to see emotions running high once again. Seems to be a lot of tension. I don't want to drag the 'dispute' on any longer than it needs to be, but I do feel that every member of this forum have the right to express their views, however late they may be!
I know that everybody can't get on with everybody else.. thats just a part of life and society, however, it is upsetting to think that people will be deliberately rude, and try to 'rule' the others, by attempting to alienate other members of the forum. Instead of acting in a negative way, and upsetting other members, wouldn't it be better if everyone just got on with their own stuff, and let others carry on? We have had a few disagreements before, and its always worked out best if we all do our own thing, without being rude or being overly defensive. We are all here due to our fairly obsessive nature of BH lol, why can't it stay that way?!
Sinead tweeted earlier which you most probably saw, saying that we all need to try and get along. It really shouldn't be that difficult. We are all adults after all. Instead of trying to make people feel excluded and alienated, lets just try and make this blog back into what it once was? Somewhere we could all go to to have a laugh and speculate.
Hope everyone is well anyway :)

Didn't get chance to mention this yesterday, but Russell Tovey was on Richard Bacon's Ö÷²¥´óÐã Five Live show.
I switched on the car radio at about 3.05pm, just as he was being introduced; so, if you want to iPlayer it, the part you need will be an hour into the show.
And I must do that myself, because I had to leave the car at 3.15pm, just as talk turned from Him & Her to Being Human.

Yes LBH, we must badger BHP for immediate production of this doll & of course an Annie, Mitchell & a Nina doll too & then we will place orders for the full set together immediately!

Having read some of the comments here I just wanted to say that when I first posted on this blog a few weeks back I mentioned how this must be one of the best-natured blogs on the internet. Yes, everyone gets ratty from time to time but it is for the most part a very good read, full of warmth and humour. Long may that continue!
Back to matters BH, there is a short blink-and-you- miss it clip of AT in Hattie on the Ö÷²¥´óÐã new drama showcase vid (about 30 seconds in). The rest of the new autumn/winter drama looks fabulous too so it's well worth checking out.

Have been a member of this blog community for over a year now and it pains me to read some of the things here, written about people I personally know and have met, and don't have a problem with at all.

I have just followed Frostmaiden's suggestion and listend to RT on Richard Bacon's show and was amused to see that, following an incident with spilt water and a subsequent unintentional expletive from Russell, the podcast carries an 'adult material' warning! So easily done - and he was brilliant too, very assurred and articulate. Not much to report re BH3 except that the Guardian's assessment that it would be 'all out bonkers' is, not surprisingly, rather wide of the mark...

still there is one thing it has been nearly 48 hours and I still don't know if I'm to be modded or not for -40 can I get a hint is the one who has finial say away for a week or am I going to have to wait for a new blog to appear and never know. Sorry if this seems a bit much but the tension is quite high for me and tickling the back of my mind whenever I check the blog.
So here is a deal if it exceeds 48 hours just mod me rather than this unbearable will they wont they.

I'm now "twitterpated" with no rehab in sight. I have been encouraging all my friends to check out this show, (we cheat and use youtube,yes, Canadians cheat ;);)), becuase it's the MOST intelligent show I have ever had the pleasure of watching that involves vamps/werewolves. They've all converted and now have the utmost disdain for glitter. I really, really hope the rumors aren't true that I have to wait until March/11 for season 3. On the other hand, it might just help to get me through these blasted winters.

Long time since I last posted. Love the little wolfie doll.
For you BH character watchers, I've just been to see the Rory Kinnear "Hamlet" at the National Theatre. The cast includes "Josie" (Clare Higgins) as Gertrude and "Saul" (Alex Lanipekun) as Laertes. Both very good.

Laurar...can't thing hat BHProductions have much material left and I think that the interviews from last week's visits to Cardiff are mainly for DVD and then when BH3 is being aired. Mr P off to Cardiff next week i think so maybe new blog post later next week?
Only one more week's filming left..gone so quickly..for us and the cast/crew I imagine as well. at some point they'll film the trailers for series 3..may already have done so for all I know...can't wait for those...the trailers for series 2 were fantastic
doublebagged..bit puzzled by the Guardian article you refer to...have they done a write up on series 3 already?....if so they must have seen preview clips

compilations - heroic / heart breaking / joyous / life affirming / scary
interviews with the crew behind the scenes that have hopefully been saved up over the trips to Cardiff
if there is a fortnight between fresh blogs I can see us easily lasting till January so unless there's another week after this one I am not worried about a lack of new information.

Hope you're all good. What is this forbidden limerick law... I have to say it sounds intriguing!
Can't believe it is the last week of filming... blimey, where has the time gone? I remember weeping about how long we would have to wait until S3... how exciting.
GR - we shall collect all the dolls, this shall be our mission. Though we should make sure that they are willing to make Nina, Annie and Mitchell too of course. Am loving DS's calender idea...
I still can't get over how chuffed Russell is, dreams really can come true... bless him!

Interesting article doublebagged, just hope they're wrong about S3 being the final series. (Although I'm not going to harper on about that Ewan, before you say anything!) I like the use of the phrase "gallivant round purgatory" - sounds almost like fun.

The post was a collection of theories on the new series that have been shown on the blog and some of those discovered facets had more than one possibility so I put the variant possibilities down as well and for some reason it has has been under review for over three days. No decision has yet been made on the posts future.
