IT Crowd rocks. I wish they were making more series.

I have now totally forgiven Being Human (UK) its change in direction. No, it is not the show it was. But yes, it works in its own way. It had to either end with Mitchell or change completely and they went with the latter. I was very dubious after the first episode, but am now sold. I really like the new characters, Hal in particular, and I also really like the increased role for Socha's character.

Though the plotlines are now far more about Being Supernatural than they are about Being Human, the show still has a healthy dose of the low key domestic humour which made the original so much fun (to me).

I've been catching up on their series prequels. Here's Tom's. Tom is a young werewolf. After he lost his 'dad' in the last series he's now living in Wales and looking for a job.



Hal and Leo's prequel.

Hal is an old vampire. Very powerful. Leo is a werewolf who's been kidnapped, chained up and forced to fight for entertainment. By the time we meet these two in the present day they are old friends.



Ref. point: The Battle of Orsha was in 1514.
