American Werewolf – Ghost and Vampire
Series one of Being Human was wonderful, partly because its blend of darkness, low key humour and social observation was distinctly British. It’s the sort of show an American network simply couldn’t have made.
So now one of them is going to try.
A 13 part American version of the Being Human has been ordered by Syfy – the same channel that originally declined an offer from the BBC to be involved in the show. The US version of Being Human – which has yet to appoint a writer – will not “slavishly replicate the British version”. As if they could.
You can probably tell how underjoyed I am about this. I’m just waiting for series two of the UK version, due to be broadcast in 2010.
