uk being human series 5

Cafe Society
1

6 new episodes, new ghost, new vamp, new jobs. episode 1 starts on 3 feb.

thus far the teasers are that tom and hal have been fired from the cafe and find new jobs at a hotel. hal is in"detox", but does have a bit of a set back, and evil lurks at the hotel.

i’m figuring the job is not at fawlty towers…

i’m looking forward to alex the new ghost and hal the new vamp.

i think she will do well. i really like her hair cut, and her dismay at being stuck in date clothes for her ghostly life.

hal seems to have more layers than mitchell, i guess that is what happens when you are over 500 years old. he does have a way about him.

oh and…waving hands… marigolds!!!

Looking forward to it. Thanks for the heads up.

February 3 is the date for the UK airing. Anyone know when this series will be broadcast in the US?

Season 3 of the US (Canadian?) version just started on SciFi. I saw a preview and it looked interesting, so I Netflixed S1 and S2 to get caught up. It took awhile to get into, but I’m really enjoying it now.

I prefer the USA version of the show, where they don’t replace the entire cast. I’ll probably still check this one out though.

How many eps are in a US season, and how are they reconciling this with the short UK series?

7

The UK programme “Being Human” had six episodes in the first series, eight in the second, third and fourth series and six in the fifth series. The US television program “Being Human” has thirteen episodes in each of three seasons. But there’s nothing to reconcile. The US program is an adaption of the UK programme. Once they got past the first few episodes, the storylines diverged.

new teaser. - YouTube

ah, lord hal…you know how to lure them in.

isn’t this around the same time that mitchell was recruited?

10

oh dear, hal has really put his foot in it this time.

it will be interesting to see how this shakes out.

rook, crumb and devil. hal, tom and alex. all in 3s.

and… now it is done. it was quite a wild ride this series. the online extras were very funny and helped tie the loose ends in a very pretty bow.

bbcamerica may run it sometime this summer.

I can’t decide whether to be happy or disappointed at the ending. It all seemed very tidy for a show that has done messy endings for most of its run, although there was the final shot of the origami which was clearly supposed to be a clever “twist” (although I’m not sure what - that one of them took the deal?).

There were the usual deft comic touches - the comment about the Employee of the Month competition was hilarious and I laughed loudly at the “Interlude” video. All in all, a good watch. Might even be worth considering the boxset if and when it comes out.

So was that it for the whole show? If so it was a pretty good wrap up.

14

yep, that was it. thankfully they knew bbc3 wasn’t commissioning a series 6 and was able to have it come to an end. there will be an extra scene on the dvd when it comes out.
