The Return of Toby's Blog
Look at all of you! Blogging away like there's no tomorrow. The show isn't even on telly, and you're still there, keeping the faith.
I'm afraid I haven't been checking in as often as I'd like. I've been insanely busy putting together a shiny new series of Being Human for you. As I write this I'm about to head off to Cardiff for our first series 4 'Tone Meeting'. For those of you with proper jobs and proper lives, this is an bum-achingly long meeting with all the Heads of Department, the director (a triumphant return for Phil John - director of 'Type 3', 'The Longest Day' and 'Daddy Ghoul' last year), Phil Trethowan and Rob and Eleanor and me, where we go through the first three scripts (oh yes, there are SCRIPTS... in fact, I just delivered the first draft of episode SEVEN. Yes, SEVEN....) page by page, examining each scene and discussing all the technical problems we'll need to address. It's the first time we'll all be gathered together and it's a lot of fun. Apart from the bits that are boring. Or when we run out of biscuits.
And then, in less than two weeks, we've got the first readthrough! And if you think that's come around quickly, then you can imagine how I feel...
As ever it's been a joy making this series. Though it didn't feel like it a lot of the time. Each series gets harder to make as, hopefully, we set the bar higher and higher. But I think we've got another corker for you.
You know me well enough by know not to be surprised when I say there's nothing I can tell you about series 4, just my usual cryptic nuggets: There will be lots of new faces, an old face, a genuinely shocking death, a new villain, a sort-of new kind of supernatural (though that could change... we're very fickle...), a new writer and a journey to somewhere even we have never gone before.
Oh and thank you for all the Bafta good luck wishes. We genuinely didn't think we stood much of a chance. I can't think of a year where the competition has been stronger. And to have a third series of anything nominated is an honour in itself. Plus, I think Sherlock was a work of genius. Hand on heart, I was delighted for them.
Now then. I've got some homework for you:
A little while ago, one of you came up with a rather delicious idea. I believe it was blogger Ewan who suggested that we come up with titles for the episodes in series 1 & 2. Obviously it's too late to go back and put the titles on the actual episodes. Similarly we can't recall all the DVDs and so on and have the titles printed on or anything like that, so this really would just be a bit of fun to tide us over till the new series starts. But I'll choose the best title for each one and claim credit - I mean... uh... be grateful. Or something. Anyway, these would be the official-unofficial titles for each episode. If you see what I mean. Just a bit of fun.
For guidance, look at the series 3 titles - see how they either came from a line in the episode, a pun (usually supplied by script editor and pun addict the lovely Laura Cotton), or something more thematic.
To kick you off, I'll give you titles for the series. Yes, series titles. I've just invented the idea of series titles. Just run with me on this, Ok?
So, series 1 - There Goes The Neighbourhood
Series 2 - God Loves, Man Kills (a special bonus prize to whoever can tell me where I, uh, 'borrowed' that title from) (there isn't a prize)
Series 3 - (obviously) The Wolf Shaped Bullet.
There. That's your mission, should you choose to accept it. And if you don't then I'll look silly(er).
Thank you for keeping the blog going. It's really nice to know that you're all still out there somewhere. Keep chatting, keep being nice to each other, and I'll see you back here in a few weeks.
Toby x

Old-school X-Men fans know how to live without prizes. We've survived Chris Claremont on a written-himself-into-a-corner tear more than once. (The ending of Inferno was the last straw, but I digress.)
Some of us remember (and cling to) the more specific definition of "graphic novel," and own the first printing of GLMK to prove it. ;->
That said, I have no suggestions for ep titles at the mo, but will try to check back and see what others are up to. (Too busy to hang out here much, alas. I miss my blog peeps!)

Claremont at his writerly best, which is very good indeed, and illustrated in an understanted and very non-superhero-standard style that was a real eye-opener at the time. It was part of a series of high-quality standalones Marvel did with various characters in the early 80s, and easily the best remembered of the bunch, with good reason. It's a classic.

Congratulations Ewan, on your recognition from Lord Toby and the BH production team. I think you should be rewarded with a tour of the set (take note Garret et al -& also take not that it was me (old blogger & mega BH fan), who suggested this! Lol)
Anyway, here's to ALL Being Human bloggers- no matter how long you've been blogging, how often you blog, & how long you've been a fan of the show. Cheers!

Which doesn't preclude his going there, but needless to say it'd be with the patented BH twist. :-) And actually, Wyndham's machinations and all the other hints building on those "branches everywhere" that Mitchell kept telling us they had... kinda fits that bill already, doesn't it?
Huge UV fan myself, so I'm far from complaining. Wouldn't be the first thing I love that's gotten the BH twist treatment, and hopefully wouldn't be the last!

Molly and Lia's brother to a lesser extent (deleted scene) could sort of tell the future.
So sort of could refer to the level of supernaturalness (actual word was expecting spell check there) sort of supernatural but still mainly human.

Alternative: an angel! Someone sent by the PTB to protect our remaining trio.
Other possibility: TW has listed Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell as one his favourite books (it's mine too) so perhaps he will introduce a fairy or a creature (like the Raven King) who is ostensibly human but from a different realm, outside the control of the PTB and with magical powers at his disposal. In many ways I prefer this idea to witch/wizard as it takes the traditional 'occult' side of 'magic' away and replaces it with something older, less explicable, more mysterious.

A fairy would definitely have that power. The only problem with fairies is that they tend not to be very interested in human problems, so humans having problems with vampires would not bother them. They would not just wade in and sort out the vampires. There has to be something in it for them ...
Well, you know how much fairies like babies ....?
And it may not just be Wyndham that is interested in a werebaby ...

Poor Gingernut and Sea_Otter were on the old blog at the start of Operation Cupcake and then had to move blog - half way through it!
I'm surprised we all survived!
Oh, and then there was Ewan - with the big mention....

However, looking forward to how they are going to take the show now he has gone. Obviously, big hole but hoping they will bring in new vampire. Premise of show is vampire, werewolf and ghost share flat. Taken this long to get over AT leaving, but finally come to conclusion need another vampire to make it right. Tried to leave comment over past couple of nights but my computer has, apparently, thrown a wobbly.
Mancvamp - how are you?

1. It could mean that the way that the person dies is shocking.
OR
2. it could mean that we are shocked as to the person that dies.

At 3rd Jun 2011, MancVamp wrote:84- Well yes and no. If someone dies accidentally in a shocking way - then no.
But if we assume that the "shocking death" refers to someone - killing - someone else - then you are absolutely right. "Shocking" can scope over the agent (the person doing the killing) either in a shocking way or - as you say - we are shocked that this person did the killing.

1. His Daughter.
2. The fact there is no other choice.
Make the scene shocking. So if someone you don't suspect had to kill someone face to face no choice about it.
After all think about Annie's reaction to what she did to Closet sorry Cooper. Shocked scared about herself.
A possible shocker, George or Nina when 'out running' attack someone and by morning when they wake up they see the wounds are too bad only one choice to save the poor soul further torment. Shocking.
Or George and Nina in the cage, knowing they are going to kill counting it down.
What About Annie in order to protect G & N from Vampires kills again in a sneak attack.
Who kills can be very shocking.
Then again the vampires could just have gone for Georges parents.

Sasha and Ewan - it is late and should both be in bed! LOL!
I think I'd like to have a think about that. When I saw Ruby's post - that was my thought too - maybe Nina - but I hope it is not Nina. I think Sinead loves the show. Wouldn't like to see her go at all. (Even though I still want Nina to ssssuffer just a little bit).

I just wanted to say that it has not gone unnoticed how very kind you were to us on the ‘So Long for Now’ blog.
You could have posted this blog post whenever you wanted – but you didn’t. You waited until we reached 10,000 comments and then helped Barry Pilling to post a message at our request. You even let Ewan get the 10,000 comment (grrrr) and then you let us beat the previous Ö÷²¥´óÐã Blog record of 10,084 set by the BcH Bloggers with the help of… Ewan. And you let us do all sorts of things that may possibly have got you into trouble as a result (hope not).
It was a very nice thing to do. It meant a lot. Thank you, Garret.

Why?
I'm in bed + clearly the joy of the new blog has overwhelmed me because for the last 2hrs this blog, Toby's message, Russell, Sinead, Ewan, DrunkKath, WhiteHare + RubyRosettaRed have been all I can dream about. I even slapped Russell's bottom + found it to be passing good. Strange as I'd not rated it until then. The blog was a pub where regulars communicated by tweet + Kath was landlady. I had to sit outside pub because I couldn't think of any episode names, but that meant I overheard meeting between Toby, RT + SK in neighbouring beer garden. I need to purge dream though because I'm feeling disturbed by it all + can't sleep now.
So this is me. Purging.
Goodnight all. X
