Ive began reading reports that original BBC Three version of “Being Human” is calling it quits at the end of its current season. (Season 5)

The series which began in 2009 originally told the tale of a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost who become roommates. Other vampires and werewolves became regular characters as the series wore on and character/cast  changes  took effect.

The devil will have a role in the series finale. Whilst the show has been faced with cast members leaving to pursue other roles in films and television, the show has survived these hurdles and moved on to become as good as it always was.

I must admit that when Mitchel (Aiden Turner) left in 2012, it looked like the show may have issues but it carried on regardless and without any slide in quality. Then later George (Russell Tovey) left, leaving only Annie (Lenora Critchlow) as the only original cast member. Lenora left at the end of Season 4 and once again I was concerned.

But the show carried on and once again had zero quality dip so it was with a shock this evening that I stumbled upon the news regarding the shows demise in the next six weeks once the episodes have aired.

I shall miss Being Human. But I also miss Afterlife, and also miss Life on Mars. Some shows stick around too long and become shadows of their former self. Part of me is glad that Being Human will not become one of those shows.

Thank you to all who worked on Being Human. You have given me years of entertainment.
