"Deep down we're human"

OK, I can put it off no longer, but once I've done a blog post about the last ever Being Human it's definitely all over.

"The Last Broadcast" by Toby Whithouse, directed by Daniel O'Hara. Spoilers under the cut.

"I'm only the fucking Devil, sweetheart."

Just one more episode of Being Human left, ever, which is, as Supernanny would put it, "unasseptible." Of course, if you'd told me back in 2008 when the show hadn't been picked up after the pilot, that we'd end up with 40 episodes over 5 years, that would have been better than I'd ever hoped for, but that's what happens when you keep the quality up for that long, people want more.

"No Care, All Responsibility" by Sarah Dollard, directed by Daniel O'Hara. Spoilers under the cut.

"You had me at hotel and leisure management."

Being Human's getting pretty dark again as we're a couple of weeks away from the conclusion, but it's still keeping its lighter moments.

"The Greater Good" by John Jackson, directed by Daniel O'Hara. Spoilers under the cut.

"All that thee-and-thou bollocks. It gets on my tits."

Already halfway through the final series of Being Human, that's what comes of cutting it down to six episodes. It also means that while Kate Bracken's slowly growing on me, by the time I actually properly like her it'll probably be time for it all to end.

"Pie and Prejudice" by Jamie Mathieson, directed by Phlip John. Spoilers under the cut.

"Dead Victorian kids are so annoying."

So now we've had it confirmed that Series 5 of Being Human is going to be the last one as suspected. With Yer Actual Devil as this year's Big Bad, I'm not sure there was any point pretending they were going to come back next year with something bigger and scarier. Although ever since the pilot, there's been one phrase in the Being Human universe that's been scarier than any other...

"Sticks and Rope" by Daragh Carville, directed by Philip John. Spoilers under the cut.
