BTW: I bought some Werewolf teeth from vampfangs, and found them very uncomfortable, and just drooled everywhere, I’d hate to have them in my mouth for hours, and the thought of wearing contacts is… no, could never do that.

So Credit to Russell for putting up with it.

Well Warren, We don’t have Moms in Australia ;)

But otherwise, I agree entirely… I gave some thought to why this is. Are the audience the kind who only “get” something if the setting is American?, or perhaps it’s because new ideas for television shows are so rare these days that it’s easier to copy an existing one rather than create something new? I’d go with the latter, there would also be kick backs for the original production company.

But it seldom works, They tried to transplant a very Aussie comedy show and it just didn’t work.

BTW, We have “Mums” in Australia. ;)

Russell Tovey is AWESOME as are all the characters in the BBC version of Being Human. WHY the U.S. Directors thought MAKING a U.S. Coast version is BEYOND me. It’s like going on Vacation in Australia and you have a NEW Mom while you’re there.

Talk about budget? WHY re-shoot SUPERB footage and ‘suffering’ we fans who have SEEN and are going to BUY the BBC version any way?

Oh well. Good luck Being Human U.S.

Looks cool. Unfortunately, I’m not able to watch the series or view the video (I live in the US and have a terrible dial up connection :( Read somewhere that they were thinking about making a remake of BH in America, sometime this year!! :D

“It’s exhausting, but it’s a lovely-exhausting feeling.” — Very well-put there. It would be an absolute blast to act out a change-scene like this. Each one of use would process that kind of intensitey differently, and we’d all bring something different to the table.

Credit to these guys for not putting all their stock in CGI. If you go oldschool with the right lighting, angles and prosthetic work, you can practically freeze-dry a viewer’s soul. Yikes.
