Geek shows and movies on UK TV in the coming week

Saturday brings Doctor Who fans both great anticipation and a bit of reluctance for its arrival, as it means possible resolutions of some of our most fierce speculations about the show, at the same time as it leaves us for the entirety of the summer, returning in the autumn.

The mid-series finale, A Good Man Goes To War, airs at 6:40pm, Saturday, June 4th on BBC1. We've had video and images hinting at its contents, but nothing concrete has been revealed, leaving possibilities of TARDIS interior proportions.

We'll have our review up as fast as fingers can make it happen, and we'll be anxious to read the comments of those, like us, who've followed this sixth series closely and are still mystified at what will happen Saturday.

Another finale is in store this week, with the conclusion to Psychoville 2. We've been following the stories and fates of the collection of quality crazy characters, in a series where anything can happen and no one is safe from the chop, stab, noose, or what have you. We'll be tuning in on Monday, June 6th (not the regular Thursday slot) at 10:00pm on BBC2, to see where it all ends up, and who survives.

To end our telly highlights, we'll be happy to welcome back Mock The Week, the comical panel show headed up by Dara Ó Briain. The first of twelve episodes launches the show's tenth series on Thursday, June 9th at 10:00pm on BB2, laughing at our leaders and the news and current events, all disguised as a competition of funny makers. The premiering episode sees Chris Addison, Greg Davies, Milton Jones and Seann Walsh join regulars Hugh Dennis and Andy Parson for proceedings.

Now, on to those films showing through the weekend and a bit beyond.

If you like your comedies full of lewd, crude and rude dudes and dudettes, this is your week! American Pie kicks thing off alphabetically tonight, before its scheduled reunion, and Role Models brings up the rear of the weekend, on Sunday night.

Or, with a clue in the title, you might want to end your Sunday evening with The Shawshank Redemption, a film that featured prominently in our recommended prescriptions for the end of any especially trying and tiring week.

And if you're planning to see the latest X-Men film, you can watch a brief refresher course, and see why X-Men: First Class is the best so far, with both X-Men and X-Men: The Last Stand airing tonight and tomorrow.

As always, if we missed anything interesting, have a shout in the comments, with our thanks.
