The annals of TV history abound with shows that were cancelled before their time, when the stories the series had to tell had yet to run out, leaving loyal viewers without a sense of closure.

How about the teenagers from the north-east of England in CBBC’s Wolfblood? The third season is just around the corner (15th September, put it in your diaries) and that means it’s the perfect time to take a look at what you’re been missing, and what’s in store for Rhydian and the gang.

To sum it up: Tatiana Maslany and every single writer on the show.

Let me set the scene for you: Orphan Black is the story of Sarah Manning, an orphan, a con artist and a thief to boot, who one evening sees a woman commit suicide by train. Sarah is the only witness and the only one to see that Beth has her face. It makes her pause, just barely before she steals Beth’s identity and as the show progresses, her life. Beth is a cop, she’s successful and she has everything Sarah doesn’t.
