Geek shows and movies on UK TV in the coming week
Gaye Birch
Merlin and Peep Show return, True Blood gets better, and there's a whole host of great movies in Gaye's TV week round-up...
Published on Sep 17, 2009
This week's True Blood, at 10:00pm tonight and 12:05am in the wee hours of tomorrow is entitled I Don't Wanna Know. But you so do, because there are only two eps to go and disturbing visions and revelations give clues to what's in store for Sookie in Bon Temps, Bill in Vamp court and Eddie in the basement.
This is the magic month in Tellyland with lots of goodness brewing up and coming to a boil. We start with a slow simmer and the new (6th) series of Peep Show on Channel 4 at 10:00pm tonight with Merlin's second series opener on Saturday the 19th at 6:40pm on BBC1.
Now then, feast on these movies until there's more telly show salad to add to your daily diet. And, as always, if there's anything we've missed, let everyone know below.
