I've just started watching Being Human recently, and I'm curious. Does anyone know why they recast the vampire and the ghost after the pilot?

Yay, Being Human! I'm not sure exactly, but they were not originally going to pick this up as a series after they made the pilot. They were going to drop it and go with something else. But it got such a huge following on the internet that they changed their mind. So, like the person above said, maybe the actors had moved on because they'd been told no at first.

That's really cool that the internet following convinced them to pick it up! Shame it was only for 6 episodes though :/

Not just 6! They just finished series 2 and have been renewed for a series 3. :D

One bonus with the shorter seasons is that I am kind of slow on catching up on shows, so at least this way it shouldn't take me too long *g* Other than the original pilot, I've now seen the first two episodes of the main series as well

I'm not totally won over by yet and completely hooked or anything, but I am enjoying it
