    Storyline

    Edit
    A werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost live in a flat in Bristol. Where's the punchline, right? Wrong. It's so much more complex than that, and once you sit down and give it a chance, you'll see it was a great decision. This is one of the best shows to grace the airways. Everyone needs to give this a go. You won't regret it. —zilla92

    • Trivia
      Annie (Lenora Crichlow)'s eyes are normally brown but they turn blue when she is visible to humans and turn violet when she is haunting.
    • Goofs
      Annie's headstone changes from season 1-2. The first time she views it, it reads "beloved fiancée.." In season 2 when her mother is viewing it, it simply states her name. Unless of course her family had it changed when Owen confessed to killing her, but they never mention it.

    "The Odd Couple" becomes the "Odd Triple" but in Bristol, England..
    Excellent off-beat drama about a vampire, werewolf and ghost who share a flat in suburban Bristol. The script was intelligent, with thoughtful but compelling story lines that did not treat the audience like complete idiots, was perfectly paced and matched to the main characters. The entire cast was excellent, with quality supporting performances as to be expected from Adrian Lester, Natalie Armin & others. The audience response was so good, it has now been remade by the BBC as a full series. As a whole, this was a perfect short film that deserved a lot more recognition. Sadly only one of the original main actors makes it into the remake, but hopefully the BBC won't screw up by trying to overplay their hand. If the rest of the production crew and cast have been retained this could be another classic in the making.
