Does anyone think it's worth adding a picture of the original three actors from the pilot? As some form of comparison perhaps??? steveking89 00:24, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
could we add more to the nina character? E.g. She could quite easily also be a werewolf od something..does anyone know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.2.163.118 (talk) 01:11, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
but didnt janey and owen see annie when they were been haunted. So surely Nina might be able to see her aswell !!!
Anybody object to Nina being promoted to a primary character? So far, episode 2 appears to have elevated her status.
the blurb says episode 6 viewing figures were a series high, yet ep1 seems to have more viewers Brianbrian321 (talk) 22:00, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Why does the actor Jason Watkins (Herrick) link to an American footballer of the same name? Moixa (talk) 21:39, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
in the last episode season 2 episdoe 2 the entity on the radio said men with their black black feathers on their black, black wings. and implied they were waiting. so that should be added. Also the assertion that any ghost could get their life back by getting Annie through the door , is highly subjective as far as we know Saul was a unique case. it is also not known if Saul was resurrected especially for the task of getting Annie through the door, that is an opinion. it may have been a simply near death experiences the first time he died.Also the entity says you don't want our rascals coming out there so that should proberly be added too —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.64.91 (talk) 17:52, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
I've shared a map called Being Human Locations: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=115312489321719301510.00047edb52782a7db34ff
I would like people to be able to add locations, or you can link to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.130.29 (talk) 14:55, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone know why the two changes between the pilot and final cast? Andrea Riseborough was, I thought, a much better fit and a better actress. I've noticed quite a few shows now where the lead actress is changed between the pilot and the series, and rarely does it seem to be for the better. If anyone knows of any source material that gives some insight into the changes, I think the article would be the better for it. --Kurt (talk) 00:58, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
The article is bloated with cruft, the Vampire, Werewolf, Ghost sections need to be reduced to one paragraph each. In fact I'm not sure why the Werewolf section is so large because that expository paragraph explains pretty much everything about Werewolves, but then someone went and poorly expanded upon that paragraph in the section. And the same thing happened in the other similar sections. --Xero (talk) 09:53, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Indeed, needs a rewrite and cutdown. --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:27, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
What a terrible idea - can you provide multiple independent reliable sources for each of these articles? Where is the critical commentary coming from? etc etc If not, they will head straight off to AFD or be merged back here. --Cameron Scott (talk) 14:35, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I've added a second location to Glenside, Bristol for the filming of hospital scenes when the show was based in Bristol. When I was living at Glenside a while ago they filmed in the main teaching building for some episodes in Season two, as well as Bristol General.

Being Human has won the Guiness (If I spelled the word wrong my apologies) world record for highest rated science fiction genre on Metacritic. com. I would suggest that somebody should put that down. I would but I can't figure out how to create hyperlinks and am afraid that the information would be deleted. -James Pandora Adams —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.176.156.18 (talk) 18:36, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Why spinoff page "Becoming Human" redirect to main page "Being Human"? I think it's a mistake, Becoming Human, linked in spinoff section of Beinh Human page, should have an original page... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.55.85.118 (talk) 10:56, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
"really excellent" in the opening paragraph is an opinion and not a fact. Let us confine ouselves to facts in this encyclopedia. I have removed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicmaker (talk • contribs) 08:02, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
For a while now, the page has been flagged re requirements to add a synopsis/plot summary, a production section and a character section. Being Human is now a well-established and well-respected TV series and deserves a fuller article.
I've added a plot summary, and character sections are being developed by various people in related articles. Does anyone have any more production information? (We also need to brush up on references). I'm going to create a portal to link the various BH articles, which should help with expansion. I'd also like to suggest that several characters now deserve their own standalone articles - Mitchell, George, Annie, Nina and Herrick - as the characters article is getting a little lengthy. - Dann Chinn (talk) 13:46, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
This criticism will be addressed when the episode/season articles are expanded or created, following which the content of the plot summary can be reduced. - Dann Chinn (talk) 21:17, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
I deleted this whole section as it is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. (See WP:NOT.) I suppose if it were differently marked up it might pass muster (i.e. it would have to be properly quoted and sourced) but WP is not (among other things) a place for original work.

I've given Annie Sawyer her own character page due to the amount of material, and previous discussion on the "List of Being Human characters" talk page. If anyone has more reliable sources in regards to characterisation (i.e from writers) or reception that would be great. I also tried to upload a promotional image, but think I messed up on the licensing there. Eshlare (talk) 11:56, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
I've made a start on setting up a system for individual episodes, including an "episodes" navbox to add to the portal. I've also roughed out and added the first two episode articles, for The Monsters Inside and Flotsam and Jetsam. Some aspects still need to be improved (a better infobox, for starters, and a more consistent use of punctuation for the article titles) but I thought that this development was overdue and would provide more space to properly record episode information details than the current "episodes" article does. This also opens up options for some further changes: these include articles summarising each individual series and also a further separation between the British and American versions. - Dann Chinn (talk) 12:40, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
"Now comes news of a new nasty character, one who goes by the name of Captain Hatch. A human ex-military type described by the actor behind him as “marvellously disgusting”, Hatch is the most recent new addition to the series five cast. The man playing him? Familiar face of UK film and TV, Phil Davis (Silk, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Alien 3, Quadrophenia…)."

Never mind Mayhew, where has Millar come from? I've watched the scenes three times and the camera does not get anywhere near close enough to Alex's file or its newspaper clippings to read any surname. U-Mos (talk) 18:49, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Why does the lead sentence treat this series as a current, ongoing series? Why is there a notation to NOT use the past tense as is done with all other canceled series? The use of the present tense sent me looking for new episodes, when, in fact, the series has been canceled. Here is the notation: "Being Human is --Per MOS, please do not change to was--" My question is who is MOS and why is MOS demanding this not be changed?

Types of mythological or fantastic beings in contemporary fiction is a page of, well, fantasy works (movie, TV, written, whatever) and the assorted mythological and/or fantastic critters they contain. This series would qualify. Anyone care to add it? Tamtrible (talk) 18:00, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
