The Emmie Awards

Emmie Award for Best Line In A BBC Drama goes to...

Being Human for: I'd quite like to be in Hufflepuff, I get the impression they spend their days sitting around making things with safety scissors and glitter

That was really rather good, wasn't it? I can't believe Phoo Action has been commissioned for an actual series but Being Human hasn't!!

There's a petition thinger to sign of you saw it and liked it, if you didn't see it it's available for 5 more days on BBC's iPlayer.

Make everyone you know sign it! It's the best bloody thing on any channel for ages, let along BBC3.

I found the petition linked to from the wiki site while I was looking for series information.

Haaaa really!

I worked on both those shows. I was convinced after watching both that being Human was by far the better. Hmmm is it definate that Phoo action seems set for more shows now. Where did you read that? There are people who need to know. How funny!

I thought that none of the new shows were getting an actual series, which at least would have made a sort of sense. But to not do something that basically pisses all over Torchwood on such a low budget while doing a comedy... are they terrified that people will just drop Torchwood because Being Human is what it should really be like?

Everyone must download Being Human so it gets to the Top Downloaded program slot. I'm also intending to torrent it so that it doesnt vanish forever.

It said it on wiki, and the source was here, but it doesn't seem to be confirmed anywhere else, so it could be rubbish.

It would be a *crazy* world indeed if Being Human goes no further. It was a little bit clichéd in terms of the vampire stuff, but apart from that, that characters were really well drawn and the acting was fabulous, especially the girl playing the ghost.
