Followers of Being Human love it for its deft switches from the morbid to the comic to the mundane.
Followers of Being Human love it for its deft switches from the morbid to the comic to the mundane.
After the tumultuous events of the last episode, the brakes are applied and the pace is taken down a notch.
What is fascinating is the light Poliakoff shines on the upper classes as we see their actions through the experiences of the band.
Being Human is a programme which delights in a lightness and cheekiness of tone, despite the inevitable body horror.
It’s this sort of rough, tough, lads-on-the-hunt-for-bombs swagger that makes the series so watchable.
In any countdown of favourite Doctor Who stories, ‘City of Death’ always lands somewhere near the top of the pile.
‘Snake Bite’ is the last audio story to feature recently departed television companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams.
However grim Utopia is in parts, there are moments of delightful humour peppered throughout.
Ultimately, Ripper Street works because we’re truly invested in the characters.
Provided by the cast and crew, the audio commentaries are present on eight episodes and vary wildly in tone.
