Thanks. I did like it. I guess I must have thought the guy who plays George was the guy who plays Connor (I think) on Primeval, although it's obvious now that they're not the same.
Well, that's very interesting. It's kind of funny, because watching this reminded me of when Channel 56 showed Man About The House a few years ago, which was the original British version of Three's Company. On the Three's Company DVDs is an original pilot with mostly different actors (and even different characters). I love that sort of thing-- "The Cage," the unedited Lost In Space pilot, the original Buffy pilot et cetera.
I wonder if that original Being Human pilot is on YouTube....Whenever I see something labeled as "emo" or "cheesy," I translate that to mean it's written for grown ups.
That's so ridiculous-- even Turner Classic shows nudity.
^^ Yeah, that's how I took it-- just indicative of British culture-- I liked it fine.

Just the opposite. Emo = written to appeal to self-pitying adolescents and those who never grew out of that phase. Cheesy = written with an artificial emotional distance for those who lack the stomach for authentic drama that might cut too close to home and cause discomfort.
It's when a show is written without the crutches of emo-ness or cheesiness that you know it might be written for grownups. Might.

Well, a quick search shows that there are at least parts on YouTube, so I should be able to see the original actors, at least.^^ Yeah, that's how I took it-- just indicative of British culture-- I liked it fine.

I know it can be found online, I acquired it to watch before the series started, not sure the full thing is on youtube though.
