I'm relaxed, I'm open, I'm in a giving mood. How about some questions?

Jamie: "I noticed Ugly Betty last aired on Channel 4 on December 14, but since then nothing. Is the series just on a Christmas Break or do we have to wait until the writers' strike finishes before we get the next instalment?"

Neil: There are three more episodes of Ugly Betty left to go, the first of which airs in the US this week. Expect to see them follow on Channel 4 here some time next month. After that, it's your lot until this thing is over, I'm afraid!

Dan: "Hi Neil, you said on your last Tube Talk that Criminal Minds is now an exclusive VMTV product, which means first runs on Living and no airings on Five, does this mean Freeview viewers won't get to see this show now? Thanks!"

Neil: Not at all - expect to see it airing on Virgin 1 also, but some time after Living's first run.

tony: "michael jayston apeared in wat be fore emmedal"

Neil: What do you take me for, some kind of soaps columnist? Pfffft.

bupesh: "Wow Q&A is back!! So about about some Curb??? Has More4 decided to screen season 6 yet?"

Neil: Good news: one of the funniest shows on TV is back with a new run next month. Prettttttttttttttttty good, eh?

karl: "Do you know if Sky are going to rerun episodes 1 to 8 of Prison Break Season 3 before it continues on sky on 21 Jan?"

Neil: There's nothing scheduled. Perhaps Sky One are trying to pretend those ropey early episodes never existed?

alan: "Do you know when Smallville season 7 will be airing here in the UK? It's already started in the US...Thanks!"

Neil: It could well be a looooooong wait before it pops up on E4. The current estimate is July.

Shaun: "Is there any news on whether Journeyman is going to be commissioned for a full series? Also, any news on when Dexter Series 3 is going to start (I really love that show)?"

Neil: New Dexter is on FX in the Summer, but I'm afraid Journeyman has had its time. The last episode airs on Sky One February 14.

Lawrence: "Hello there Neil! Please can you help me, I'm trying to find out when the Terminator spin-off TV series will be shown in the UK, it's not listed on the premiere list page?"

Neil: Sarah Connor Chronicles will air on Virgin 1 in the Spring, alongside Chuck. The former gets its premiere in the US this Sunday.

David: "Are Channel 4 still going to be showing Desperate Housewives in January? I know the season has been cut short due to the writers strike but surely C4 aren't going to make us wait until god knows when for new episodes???"

Neil: It was due to return this month - and that's still a possibility - but I'm hearing that it may be pushed back until March.

Maysie: "Wow! Just finished watching the Nearly Famous finale - was much better than I imagined. But, it did feel a bit like an end forever! Please tell me that Nearly Famous will be back for a season two with possibly more episodes!"

Neil: I'm told no decision has been made on this show yet. If I had to guess, it would be a 'no' to a second series, but there is still hope.

sam vernon: "I am glad to here Chuck is coming to the uk. but will freeview viewers be able to catch it our reduced programming time"

Neil: Absolutely - Chuck will be in the heart of Virgin 1's primetime lineup. You don't miss much during the daytime hours, FYI.

Josh: "Hey, can you please tell me if new CBS shows Moonlight and Cane have got a full season and what channel they will be shown on in the UK?"

Neil: Both shows are likely to be back, although no formal pickups have yet been given. Cane is destined for ITV2 this Spring, while Moonlight has not yet found a UK home. Can I get an 'awwww'?

Jo: "Hey, when can we expect to hear more goss on Torchwood season 2. Some of us just can't wait for more info."

Neil: My scoops are locked, loaded and ready to roll. More in the coming days, promise!

Liz: "Help!! I am so concerned. I feel for the poor underpaid writers in America. They must be starving having been on strike for so long, but now I'm beginning to get really worried.... Lots of shows are being halved in series length, but even that isn't my real worry. I've checked the PLP and I can't find any mention of Supernatural. Please give me some good news, I've been waiting to see Sam and Dean again in January. Help!!!"

Neil: Not long to go at all... the brothers Winchester are back on January 27! More premiere dates, as always, over on The PLP.

Dez: "Hi! I never watched The Apprentice when it first aired on the Beeb but I watched the first series on Dave (that still cracks me up!) and really enjoyed it. Can you tell me if Dave are planning to show the subsequent series and if so, when?
Loving your work, btw!"

Neil: Ahh, the naivety of the first series. The second will follow on Dave later in the year - but before that there's the brand new fourth series, on BBC One from April. A new celebrity version will also air as part of Sport Relief in March.

Lyns M: "Hi Neil...I've just watched series 1 and 2 (back to back) of Kyle XY on cable channel Trouble. Any news of when to expect series 3 ??"

Neil: It's technically the second half of season two you're waiting on. Those remaining ten episodes will air in the US from next week and follow on Trouble later in the Spring. A third season of ten episodes has also been confirmed, although this has now been delayed by the strike.

Which shows are you looking forward to seeing return? Should Curb have ended at the last season? Should E4 bring Smallville forward?

July for smallville?! What is that stupid E4 up to! Cant wait for Supernatural though. Ive been waiting for both for so long.

Sam, Black Country, on January 10th, 2008
Smllville definatley needs to be brought forward, cant wait to see pete and ollie again. DYING to see Supernatural, hopefully it will get more promotion this year, because it definatley deserves to be shouted from the ooftops

- Smalville should definitely brought forward. February sounds good :-) - Looking forward to see the new episodes of Cold Case, Lost and Prison Break (despite the mediocre start)
