Being Human Creator Has Never Seen Buffy, Surely Not?
Sci-Fi geeks may find it hard to believe but Being Human creator Toby Whithouse insists that he has never watched an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly or Angel. Yep, that’s right, Whithouse hasn’t seen any of cult director/writer Joss Whedon’s most influential works.
In an interview with SFX Magazine, Whithouse admitted that although he has seen the Firefly movie spinoff Serenity, he has yet to sample the goodness of one of Whedon’s cult TV shows…
“It’s one of the great myths about me. I have never in my life watched an episode of Buffy or Angel. Not in terms of hating it, I just never got round to it. I’d love to see them. Everyone says they’re great. I’ve not seen Firefly either, I saw the film but never the series. Don’t look at me like that.”
Although he hasn’t watched any Joss Whedon shows (he didn’t even give a mention to Dollhouse so I guess we can safely say he didn’t see that either but then, who did?) he did admit to watching, and enjoying, True Blood…
“It’s brilliant, but very different to Being Human. Theirs is much more of an ensemble show. Theirs is in a way about an official subset of humanity and how this subset will coexist with the rest of humanity. Ours is more about an anonymous pocket of the supernatural who are fighting to preserve humanity.”
