If this is what Being Human means then I'm happy with that!
We live in the digital TV age. But it's not as shiny and wonderous as it sounds. Think less Jetson's futuristic wonder, more Lily Allen being given a chance to make a show about her Myspace mates despite the fact she has all the TV presenting charisma of Gordon the Gopher.
