Being Human

A werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost live in a flat in Bristol. Where's the punchline, right? Wrong. It's so much more complex than that, and once you sit down and give it a chance, you'll see it was a great decision. This is one of the best shows to grace the airways. Everyone needs to give this a go. You won't regret it.

The Trinity

57 mins

Ninety years earlier, vampire Hal and werewolf Lady Catherine unsuccessfully attempted to end the war created by the devil through the Trinity between werewolves, vampires and ghosts. In the present, Alex searches for her body with Tom's help so that she may pass over, but discovers herself listed as drowned and already processed. The sinister Dominic Rook approaches Hal and tries to tempt him with a supply of blood if he will engineer a vampire take-over. Hal refuses but shortly thereafter becomes responsible for office worker Ian "Crumb" Cran being run over. To prevent Ian dying, Hal turns him into a vampire and imprisons him in the cellar. Alex finds and, unaware of repercussions, releases him, whereby Ian returns to work, kills a colleague, and finds himself more respected as an undead fiend than ever before in life. Rook, summoned by the Home Secretary, learns his department is to be closed, causing him to fear for the future of his 'tenants'. Rook collects Ian from the office and takes him away whilst Tom and Hal start work at the Barry Grand Hotel as waiters. Here the sinister and cantankerous guest Captain Hatch whispers into the ear of a waitress, who consequently kills herself after writing He Will Rise in her blood.

The Big C

4 Seasons
Cathy Jamison is a suburban Minneapolis high school teacher, wife and mother with less than a perfect life, despite it perhaps seeming so to much of the outside world. Her life is given a major shock when she is diagnosed with melanoma, the first news of such to her being when it is at advanced stage IV, meaning that she will most likely succumb to it within short order barring some extreme or radical intervention. Cathy goes through a myriad of emotions concerning the diagnosis, including how she will deal with it in relation to family, friends and people close to her in other ways. These people include: Paul Jamison, her college sweetheart husband, who is often just another big kid in their relationship, while Cathy has acted the responsible adult; Adam Jamison, Cathy and Paul's teenaged son who is going through typical issues of being a teenager and only child; Sean Tolkey, Cathy's hyper-environmental anti-establishment brother, who chooses to be homeless to live off the grid and who abhors what he sees as Cathy's bourgeois suburban lifestyle; her students, such as Andrea Jackson, who openly stands her ground on any issue, including her weight problem and her African-American background; and her elderly seemingly crotchety female long-time neighbor, who Cathy has not made the effort to know despite their close proximity for years.
