BBC Three has ordered its first new drama since it was announced that the channel would be moving to online.
Tatau - consisting of eight 45-minute episodes - follows two friends from London, Kyle Connor and Pete 'Budgie' Griffiths, who are travelling the world.

It is always a bummer when one of our beloved television shows ends its run. It is a sad but inevitable truth that all good things must come to an end. The latest to fall under the ax is the British Being Human. The good news is that the announcement comes at a time when the show can be wrapped up in a way that will make a great series finale.
There isn’t much given by the BBC as to what the reason is behind the cancellation. In fact, their official press release is wall to wall compliments and praise. Here is Rob Pursey, the show’s executive producer.
I’d like to take the chance to thank Toby Whithouse (creator and writer) for his incredible writing and storytelling; the other screenwriters who’ve made the series their own; the three producers who’ve nurtured the show; and the...

It’s true; no matter what certain networks may claim about their “winter finales,” winter doesn’t actually start until December 21, and isn’t over until March 20. Syfy, at least, understands this, and has announced their appropriately-titled winter schedule accordingly.
Happily this means that, starting on Monday, January 14, 2013, we will have some great television to get us through the cold months, including the return of Being Human and Lost Girl, and the premiere of Continuum, and later in the week, the return of Ghost Hunters and Face Off.
Here’s the schedule of premieres, along with series synopses:
Syfy’S 2013 Winter Programming Highlighted By Series Premieres Of Ghost Mine, Robot Combat League, Stranded And Continuum Season Returns Of Hits Being Human, Face Off, Total Blackout, Ghost Hunters, Lost Girl, Haunted Collector And Final Season Of Merlin

The war between vamps and lycans heats up next week on Syfy's "Being Human", and to help you choose sides, we have a preview and a clip from Episode 2.07, "The Ties that Blind".

We never expected to enjoy "Being Human" on Syfy as much as we do, and with the tease of Mark Pellegrino's return next week in "Mama Said There'd Be Decades Like This", we're even more psyched for the episode. Check out the preview and a sneak peek clip to see if you concur!
"Being Human" Episode 2.06 "Mama Said There'd Be Decades Like This" (2/20/12 Air Date):
Aidan is haunted by memories of Bishop (Mark Pellegrino) when his protégé strolls back into Boston while Sally must confront the secrets revealed by her mother's death.
In the clip Josh is in the midst of making dinner when two cops burst into the kitchen yelling at him to put his hands up. Taken by surprise, Josh is handcuffed while the cops tell him that they have found his "stack of dead".

Syfy wasn't kidding when they said this season of "Being Human" is all about temptation! Last night's episode took a really dark turn down that path, and from what's shown in this preview and clip from Episode 2.05, "Addicted to Love", it doesn't look like things will be changing soon.
"Being Human" Episode 2.05 "Addicted to Love" (2/13/12 Air Date):
Aidan and Suren's (guest star Dichen Lachman) love affair heats up while Sally gets tangled in her own love triangle.
In the clip Josh walks into the kitchen and notices Sally with her head down on the counter and jokes about having a rough night. Sally finally lifts her head and looks shockingly pale. She says she’s been experimenting with a woman, using her body to do things she is not able to do as a ghost.
