kjpepperYesterday was mostly a collection of irritations not worth mentioning individually, except for one thing.
All hail the magic of the internet. It allows you to stumble upon tv shows from a foreign market that aren't going to cross the pond for a while. In this case, it's BBC's "Being Human." The simplest synopsis I can think of is "a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost are sharing an apartment. Mayhem (and much witty conversation) ensues." Really I had only one minor complaint which the cliche-ness of one particular plot point, but the rest of it's brilliantly funny and the three leads play off each other very very well.
Mitchell: So, you've just arrived at Hogwarts, which house do they put you in?
George: I'd like to say Gryffindor, but they're supposed to be brave. What's the other one? Ravenclaw, does that have a characteristic?
Mitchell: I think they're brainy. You could be in Ravenclaw.
Annie: I quite fancy Hufflepuff actually. I've always thought in Hufflepuff they just spend the day making stuff with safety scissors and glitter.
George: What about you?
Mitchell: I think that they'd say. It's probably best if you just stay in the canteen for the next five years.
Annie: Does anyone ever 'choose' Slytherin?
George: No, because that would be like saying 'I'm a sociopath.'
From what I can gather it's just a pilot, so if you're in sniffing distance of the BBC or its web site, or can use the magic of the internet, watch it and bug them for more. It looks like a lot of fun.
