Its an annoying little something called the FCC. Love it or hate it it is what we have to deal with! BBCA does give Being Human a full 1:15 ostensibly so they can air it in its entirety and have commercials. (They give Top Gear 1:20 with TG repeats before and afterwards.) To BBCA's credit, they do keep commercials down to absolute bare minimum. What I can get done during a commercial break on BBCA is much less than I can get done on any other network! Graham Norton comes on after Being Human and they have cut that down to :45 with commercials. I wonder if there are contractual agreements with Graham Norton limiting the amount of cuts to his programme? Just guessing....

But out of curiosity - what was cut? (In spoilers please) I felt like there was something missing from the car scene at the very end? And there was one cut after a commercial break that felt clunky. Before the break they were all talking in the same room and after the break, everyone had moved to another room.

I have tried to get into Being Human but found myself kind of lukewarm about it in general. NW was great, as usual. She walked the line between parody and reality very nicely.

Series 3.5 Being Human Spoiler: show

The sandwich, the computer, the Red Bulls - all made us both laugh! But I think my favorite was the smoking bit - Thank you Jesus!
