so.....only 2 weeks to go then!

I've gone from being desperate to hear anything about the new series, to 'don't look', which has kind of made me step back a bit.  I bought sfx, but still haven't read it.....and having read some of the things said about the scifi article I decided that I could only deal with one temptation in the house at a time and so am now just trying to avoid everything being human.  The internet is a serious problem!  To be honest I hate the thought that so many people 'know' so much more than me......but it would seem that not knowing is more important.  Surprising, as I have been know to read the last page of a book when I'm only a few pages in!  My brain seems to have even lost all ability to speculate.

The general consensus seems to be that there are some really 'epic' scenes/stories in this series.  I am wondereing whether the reason there are only 6 eps is because it means more money for each ep? if they have the same budget.  The worst thing is that talk of epicness makes me worry that this could be the final series.  (nnnooooooooooo00!)  Can't belive that I'm worrying about that when the series hasn't even started yet.  Just as depressingly, as the countdown brings the start of the series closer, it also brings the end of the series closer (ooo...I'm in a cherry mood today!)

So....not really anything to say.....just needed to splurge a bit about being human in a 'safe' place!  Apologies!!

UPDATE: Being Human has been removed from the BBC Media Centre page for unplaced programmes 2 - 8 February.

This means one of two things..... let's hope  it has been scheduled not delayed!

FURTHER UPDATE: It is looking very much as if Being Human has been delayed, since the removal of the premiere from the unplaced programmes 2 - 8 Feb on the BBC Media site, sources tell us that it is looking more like week beginning 9 Feb - publicity material had been embargoed until that week.

I will update the topic title if that is ok Su

I just don't understand how they cannot give a date for a programme that's meant to be on in less than a month, especially when (as far as I am aware) you can buy monthly TV guides. I just find it a bit disrespectful, is all, to the creators AND to the actors.

I think if they were trying to ramp up expectation they'd be releasing more teasers, a trailer, at least, and there'd actually be some proper publicity. Can't ramp up proper expectation if it's all silent. It's like Dermot O'Leary on the sodding X Factor. "The remaining act who will be making it into the final....will have to wait until after the break to find out." I understand that kind of suspense building. But this? I don't understand this at all. There's no anticipation when there's literally nothing to water our mouths with.

Grrr.

 They did that last year, i remember the trailer that was aired, the one with 'I'm a vampire, he's a werewolf, any questions' with the black eyes and the fangs (which also made me pay attention) and there was another trailer that hinted at Hal's character- when he's building the domino spiral and he talks about building up bit by bit and tearing down bit by bit but the way it was edited, it made you think he was talking about his personality and not building the spiral. There were prequels on the blog, Hal's (ages before the S4 premier i seem to remember) and Tom's, including other extras like Tom reading Eve the story about the big bad vampire and the good (little) wolf. Now stuff like this may materialise over time before transmission date but i seem to remember that last year all of that started around now. The silence this time around is deafening. And irritating.
