Geek shows and movies on UK TV in the coming week

You may have cottoned onto the fact that at Den Of Geek we're of the opinion you can never have too many True Blood mentions or reminders. So, we're happy to serve as your personal neuron nudger and say the show airs in the UK on FX on Friday nights at 10:00pm. Tonight's episode, the fourth in the series' initial season, is Escape From Dragon House and finds the Stackhouse siblings have more than a handful of trouble apiece. Catch it if you can at 10, or the repeat showing at five past midnight.

On Sunday, 9 August, Metallica is profiled in an hour-long look at the heavy metal music masters at 9:00pm and again on Monday the 10th at 8:00am and 2:00pm. Tune up those air or Hero guitars and tune in to the Bio channel if you're likely to want to rock along.

And now the films airing over the next 168 hours or thereabouts for your audio-visual feasting. There's some crackers in the coming week. And some cheese. And even some treats for ickle geeks. Enjoy!
