Being Human gets a full series 
The nature of my job is such that I get a lot of press releases through every day. Depressingly most of them are dross. There are a shocking number that are misspelled, misaddressed (no, I'm not a man, or the Editor), or downright misguided (why would I care that it's national Alfalfa Sprout week?). Of course there are useful press releases that come through - well written ones that make your job easier but, alas, they are the minority.
But never before have I had a press release that made me squee sat at my desk. This one did. In fact it's such a beauty that I'm just going to reproduce it verbatim in its entirety:
