Tonight's episode of True Blood is Sparks Fly Out, airing at 10:00pm on FX and again at 2:20am. This is do-not-miss stuff as terror escalates too close to home in the Stackhouse household and Bill's bitey origins are revealed.

We've been remiss this past week, missing out on the repeat broadcast of a very good homegrown show from some months back. Being Human, about a trio of supernatural flatmates, moves house to BBC1 and is being reshown on Thursday nights at 10:35pm. Not much help for last night's episode, although we hope to have reviews to you soon. So, if iPlayer fails you like we have, come here for a first ep catch-up and then watch the next on the 20th and stop back and let us know what you think of it.

Update: Den Of Geek Hero Reviewer, Mark Oakley, has used his super telly viewing powers to put an episode one review together for us under very short notice. You can read that here and be sorted in time for next Thursday's show. Thank you, Mark! May your cape never wrinkle.

A little earlier on Thursday the 20th of August, BBC3 is showing the first of a new series Doctor Who Greatest Moments. At 8:00pm the first kicks off with focus on The Doctor(s), followed by Companions, the week after. 'Key' actors will offer up insider info and reminiscences about some of the most memorable scenes and set pieces of the series.

Now, here's a week's worth of what looks good for geeks of all ages and interests. Be sure to check your schedules, though. Due to our occassional clumsy thumbs, this list may not be gospel. And telly scheduling gods often assert their powers at the worst possible times. We want no disappointed TV worshippers in the Den pews. Enjoy!
