Apart from the fact it's got that girl (Jemima Rooper) from 'As If' & 'Urban Gothic', I'm quite looking forward to it

Haven't heard or read much in the way of detail, but the trailer keeps catching my eye. So I'll be watching just to see if it's any good.

I tend to watch E4, Trouble, UKTV and stuff like that. Oh and Living. We've only had our NTL for a week though...

It's on Sky One, so it may not have been trailered on any of the channels you mentioned.
I tend to watch the same channels, which is why I've also not seen any trailers for it.
I've just heard about it through online & magazine articles.

Apparently.
She was also in the first episode of Urban Gothic, so she's got some precedent in the genre.

Watched it last night and, 
A part from sort of introducing the three main characters nothing really happened.
And it's a bit like 'Carrie' - Unpopular girl tries to get in with the in crowd is picked on (at the party) and has the ability to move things with her mind.
So far .... a bit pants.

Must admit, it was slow going and it lifted a lot from Carrie and Buffy amongst other cult movies/shows.
There's only five eps in total so let's hope the pace picks up quite a bit.

I kinda liked it, ok not a lot happened but I still thought it was pretty cool! Plus i've always been interested in the Nephelim, but I thought when they mated with human women they gave birth to giants. Can't quite remember now though

Close, but not quite. The usual interpretation is that the Nephilim were the offspring of human women and angels, more specifically of the "Grigori" angels who were tasked with watching over humanity. The Nephilim are traditionally held to be of great physical stature -- hence the association of the term "giants" with them.

The obvious biblical reference to them is the start of Gen 6 (the first 4 verses of which are pure J text, the rest is a mix of J and P) but there's not much there, if you want more you're going to have to go off-road a bit -- most notably Enoch.
