'Doctor Who', 'Breaking Bad': Tube Talk Q&A

You wanted the return of the Tube Talk Q&A. The return of the Tube Talk Q&A you get - we aim to please! We've been rummaging through our online post bag and trying to help you find the answers to everything TV. If we haven't answered your problem this week, don't despair... CLICK HERE and send us your questions and we'll do our best to get the answers next time. Hold on to your hats, here is the good stuff...

Shane Moran: "I've loved the Marple adaptations. But ITV have been very quiet about announcing any new adaptations. Hopefully you guys can solve the mystery of the disappearing Marple..."
Tube Talk: "We got on to ITV and it turns out that there is still hope for
both Marple and its sister series Poirot. The channel told us, "We have one new Poirot film to broadcast later this year and ITV is in active discussions about doing more." As for Marple, they added: "Marple is produced consecutively with Poirot films by the same production team. Scripts are currently being developed but we're not currently in a position to announce new commissions." Hope that's of some help to all you Agatha Christie addicts!"

Marissa: "Any Doctor Who scoop? I love the show."
Tube Talk: How about a few teasers from this year's mid-series premiere, 'Let's Kill Hitler'? One character in the episode describes The Doctor as "hot", one scene features a number of gents and ladies in their underwear and the mad monk Rasputin also gets a mention at one point!"

Matt Simmonds: "Simply are Rory and River Song coming back to Doctor Who for next year's episodes?"
Tube Talk: "Arthur Darvill recently announced that he will be back in some capacity next year, and when we spoke to Karen Gillan recently, she also confirmed that Amy Pond will be sticking around! As for River, it's currently unclear how long Alex Kingston will be with the show, but we can promise that there's some big twists coming up for that particular character in future episodes."

Andy Winter: "Does any channel in the UK plan on showing seasons three and four of Breaking Bad?"
Tube Talk: "Walt and Jesse fans, we're afraid we've got some bad news. Just like you, we've been dying to see the latest episodes of Breaking Bad, but it doesn't look like we're going to get them any time soon. First of all, we turned to Channel 5 as they aired the first two seasons on 5USA. But unfortunately their chaps told us: 'We won't be showing seasons three and four of Breaking Bad but we do have some exciting new acquisitions coming to Channel 5, 5* and 5USA soon.' After that bad news, we thought it was worth giving Sky a call as Sky Atlantic's been picking up so much quality stuff recently, but their guys told us that they have 'no plans to pick up Breaking Bad'. We still have our feelers out there and we'll let you know as soon as we hear anything Breaking Bad related. In the meantime, the campaign to find the show a UK home starts here!"

Russel Guppy: "Does anyone have the rights to Parks and Recreation"
Tube Talk: "You'd think someone would have snapped this show up by now - it's very funny. But unfortunately, it doesn't look like we're going to be seeing Leslie Knope over in the UK any time soon. Channel 5 told us that they have "no plans at the moment" to give the comedy a home, but they've got some "new exciting programme additions" coming up. Sky's not looking good, either - they have "no plans" to pick up the show. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that someone eventually notices this little gem."

Ryan Martin: "When does Glee start on Sky1?
Tube Talk: "Well, this does look good. Sky couldn't give us an exact date, but what they did say was that season three of Glee will begin in "late September". Considering the fact that the show doesn't even start in the US until September 20, it looks like we'll only be about a week behind our friends across the pond. Start dusting off your dancing shoes now!"

Graeme O'Neill: "Is season two of White Collar ever going to air in the UK?"
Tube Talk: "Don't get your hopes up just yet. The first season of White Collar aired in the UK on Bravo, which is no more after Sky took over Bravo's parent company. Sky did pick up some of Bravo's acquisitions - see Spartacus and Chuck. So we reached out to them to find out if you'll be getting new White Collar, but they told us: 'We do not have White Collar's second season under licence so have no plans to air this'. Boo! The good news is that someone else technically could pick up the show - we've not heard anything to suggest that this'll happen, though."

Russel Guppy: "Who'll be broadcasting the third season of Leverage?"
Tube Talk: "Leverage was another show that got moved around in the Bravo shuffle. We know Sky aired season two, but it gets a bit confusing after that. Still, it all boils down to this - Sky told us: "Leverage is not currently in our schedule."

Russel Guppy: "When will season four of Private Practice air on Sky Living? As it has usually overlapped with the end of Grey's
Tube Talk:
"Well, it looks like you might have to wait a little bit longer. We got in touch with some Sky chaps, and they told us that 'new episodes are not scheduled at present'. To satisfy your cravings while you wait, though, Living Loves is kindly repeating season two and season three from next month."

Matt Overton: "It seems there were a lot of people annoyed at missing the latest series of Being Erica on E4 - do they have any plans to show it again soon?"
Tube Talk: "Being Erica is a lovely little show, isn't it? We're not sure if the latest series will get a repeat, although you never know now that E4 has to fill up all those Friends hours. But the fabulous news is that E4 has told us that it'll be showing the fourth series of Being Erica next year, so you'll be able to spend some more time with Miss Strange."

Alexis Nicholls: "I know Outnumbered series 4 was announced but we have heard nothing. Is the air date still planned to take Miranda's slot in October?"
Tube Talk: "This is an easy one. The Outnumbered clan are back on Friday, September 2 on BBC One."
