Being Human Page 2

The original Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased).

Now that was good!

But he travelled through time and had a sword, if that's not paranormal I don't know what is.

So frankly I probably don't.

Dark Shadows was a soap opera with supernatural bits in it, characters came back as ghosts and vampires.

Bewitched. The Adams Family. The Munsters. I Dream of Jeannie.

Catweazle and Stig of the Dump were kind of time-travel based.
There was also a series called Sky, where a youth with mystic powers emanated from Stonehenge, I believe.

I miss Hammer House Of Horror.

I thought somebody had bought Hammer recently? With the view to making some new stuff?

He only travelled through time in the same way as me and you, ie forwards, by existing. He just spent a long time in a block of ice.

I miss Hammer House Of Horror.

We're all time travellers in one direction.

I was being self deprecatingly ironic, seems I can't even get that right.

What's it doing getting a series?

It was good, and interesting, so it got a series.

Certainly better than the other shows in that pilot series anyway.

I think some one in the BBC liked White Wolf games....

Not sure what that is; something similar to this I take it?

RPG company that produced Vampire the Masquerade, Werewolf the Apocalypse and Wraith the Oblyvion.

Played by spotty Goths and nerds, who are absolutely bloody certain pretending to be a depressed vampire is cooler than pretending to be a 10th level Elven wizard.

Yep, they did. They've already released one film called "Beyond The Rave," and they've got something like 3 new films in production.

I still haven't get round to watching the first one.
I'll watch this one tonight anyway. Not really sure what it's meant to be, comedy or drama or what? Guess I'll find out tonight.

I'll be watching.
