Warning: contains major spoilers for In The Flesh series one and two.
“Let’s stay away from labels. I don’t like labels.” In a sense, Dominic Mitchell’s In The Flesh has been fighting its labels from day one. It was a zombie drama but not really a zombie drama. It aired on the BBC Three, but it wasn’t one of the channel’s neon reality shows. It was created by a newcomer, but portrayed a world that was mature and bedded in. It was sold as a standalone mini-series but now looks as though it could run and run…
We chatted to In The Flesh’s creator, Dominic Mitchell, about labels, religion, sexuality, Morrissey posters, the ideas he couldn’t fit in to series two,...

In the Flesh, Season 2: Episode 3 – “Episode 3″
Written by Fintan Ryan & John Jackson
Directed by Damon Thomas
Airs Saturday nights at 10 on BBC America
Even more so than in either of the season’s first two episodes, “Episode 3″ allows In the Flesh to effectively utilize its extended episode order to tell a story that isn’t entirely necessary, yet it succeeds so much almost because it’s not necessary. Scattered among that thread, centered on the characters of Freddie and Haley, are continuations of the various plotlines developing this season. Some, of course, work better than others, but even if Freddie’s story isn’t what this episode is entirely interested in, it anchors the hour with emotional depth.
Roarton appears to be much larger than I had originally thought, and it’s still not quite clear how big it is, either in population or geographically. Among its inhabitants are...

Genre: Horror | Drama | Comedy
Air Date/Time: March 31 at 9/8c
Network: BBC America
Created by: Toby Whithouse
Director: Daniel O’Hara
Writer: John Jackson
Summary:
In an old B&B in a sleepy seaside town, we join Annie (Lenora Crichlow) and her housemates Tom (Michael Socha) and Hal (Damien Molony). With a newborn baby to look after, it’s never been more difficult to live life under-the-radar as a ghost, a werewolf, and a vampire. There are also other vampires to deal with: lurking in every corner of society, waiting for the Old Ones, powerful older vampires, to arrive and take over the world with brutal force. Worse yet, there’s a malevolent ghost on the loose and someone’s seeking to expose the existence of werewolves – not to mention all the diapers that need changing.
When a show that I enjoy and look forward to puts out a mediocre episode,...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Being Human has always been laced with humour, some has been darkly funny but there’s never been an episode played almost entirely for laughs before. So the tone and series 4 continues its lighter touch with Puppy Love.
Hal is working on his new routine, this is made all the more difficult by the arrival of a attractive young woman named Alex who takes a shine to him. Tom gets a geeky girlfriend and Annie accidently kills a grumpy old man.
Fellow werewolf Allison is a fully fledged geek and Tom finds her simply endearing. Allison was a fantastic addition to the episode and she was perfectly played by Ellie Hendrick.
Hal goes against his better judgment and goes on a date with Alex, the temptation does feel somewhat obvious and an old one like Hal should know better. Meanwhile Annie attempts to solve her victim’s unfinished business,...

We are very pleased to report that BBC America, the home of “Supernatural Saturdays” and therefore the home of such fantastic series as The Fades, Bedlam, and of course Doctor Who, has announced that they are developing two new series that fit right into our agenda.

BBC America will develop two series with UK indie Clerkenwell Films, producers of the hit UK sci-fi series Misfits. Sci-fi drama Wired, from writer Steven Volk (Afterlife), and The Dead Beat, a paranormal crime show from writer John Jackson (Being Human), are the first projects to come out of the non-exclusive development deal BBC America signed with Clerkenwell Films in September. Here are descriptions of the two series, which will be distributed by BBC Worldwide: Wired takes place in a world that looks exactly like today, except for one thing: this is a world with ‘Syns’ (‘Synthetic Organisms’), exact replicas of human beings and the newest luxury accessory money can buy. Wired explores our evolving relationship with technology, the boundaries of society’s values and moralities, our hypocrisies and contradictions – holding up a mirror to who we are today and what we might become. In The Dead Beat, two cops,...
