Geek shows and movies on UK TV in the coming week

Gaye Birch


FlashForward is back, TV Burp comes to an end, and there are plenty of movies to keep you busy too in our guide to upcoming UK TV...

Published on Mar 18, 2010

Harry Hill's unique take on telly in his TV Burp comes to an end of the current series on Saturday March 20th at 7:00pm on ITV1. Between Harry's Burp and Charlie Brooker's Newswipe it's how we prefer to catch up with all things relevant in tellyland. We'll miss them both and hurry back, boys.

It's a hardy and dedicated bunch that is sticking with FlashForward. If you are, you're of sturdier and more patient stock than we're made of, so we'll remain in awe and help out with a reminder that the show picks up after its long, long, long break on Monday March 22nd at 9:00pm on Five with Revelation Zero Part 1. Part 2 airs immediately after at 10:00pm. Now, that's more like it!

Evidently, the telly scheduling torturers, I mean, deciders, acknowledge it's been a bit of a stretch between eps and that we mere mortals can only retain so much information for so long, and are showing special FlashForward: What Did You See? summaries of the first ten epiodes on Five and Fiver at various times before Monday, starting Saturday, March 20th at 12:30pm on Five.

And that's the miserly lot this week. But, no worries, as we always aim to help lessen resentment over your TV License and wring the most of your money's worth out of those subscription movie channels. And this week is no different in that respect.

Now, on to the films showing through the weekend and a bit beyond. As always, if we missed anything interesting, have a shout in the comments, with our thanks.
