"It&amp;#039;s a thankless job compiling the Tube Talk Q&amp;amp;A. Every week we go to extremes to uncover juicy telly info - we sit outside channel HQs in a surveillance van, we flirt stuff out of homely TV executives and we&amp;#039;ve been known to conduct a few Mission Impossible-style operations to obtain first drafts of the schedules. But at the end of the day we love doing it all, so, with a proud tear in our eye, we present the bits we uncovered this week on the likes of Merlin, An Idiot Abroad and How I Met Your Mother... Any news on Hot in Cleveland? Sony only showed a few and now it&amp;#039;s taken a break, even though the whole series has aired in America...  Erm... the best news - it&amp;#039;s already back! Here&amp;#039;s a direct quote from the folks at Sony - &amp;quot;Re: Hot in Cleveland, Sony Entertainment Television (Sky 157, Virgin 193) is still showing the UK premiere of Season 3 with a double bill every Saturday from 9am and then in the afternoons from 6pm. These are all new episodes.&amp;quot; So there you have it. Oh, and in case you missed it first time round, check out our awesome interview with Hot in Cleveland star and all-round legend Betty White, who told us that things can get &amp;quot;a little bawdy&amp;quot; on set! Any Merlin spoilers? I&amp;#039;m a huge fan and am loving the new series!  Well, first off there&amp;#039;s this Saturday&amp;#039;s instalment &amp;#039;A Lesson in Vengeance&amp;#039; - you can check out our traditional ten teasers for some cryptic hints at what&amp;#039;s coming up, but let&amp;#039;s just say that Gwen (Angel Coulby) gets in touch with her dark side and Merlin (Colin Morgan) had better watch out when he finds himself in the queen&amp;#039;s bad books! Following that... remember we brought you an exclusive image of episode eight&amp;#039;s guest star John Shrapnel? Well, he&amp;#039;s playing Sarrum of Amata, a fearsome tyrant who sends chills down the corridors of Camelot... Then there&amp;#039;s episode eleven, where - thanks to guest character Kara (Alexandra Dowling) - we get to see a very different side to Merlin&amp;#039;s frenemy Mordred (Alexander Vlahos). But beyond that, our lips are sealed! I&amp;#039;m so happy that The Big Bang Theory is back! Any teasers for the new season?   Geeks rejoice! Season six of The Big Bang Theory launches tonight (November 15) at 8pm on E4 with an episode titled &amp;#039;The Date Night Variable&amp;#039;, which sees Howard trying to keep both new wife Bernadette and his mother happy from the International Space Station. Meanwhile, on Earth Sheldon risks ruining his relationship with Amy by inviting Raj out on their anniversary, while Leonard tries to push Penny into discussing their own romance. Later episodes will see comic book guy Stuart attempt to integrate with the group, Howard deteriorate as he floats aimlessly in space and Penny consider whether or not to dump Leonard again. It&amp;#039;s classic Big Bang Theory stuff, so order in some takeout, make sure nobody&amp;#039;s sitting in your spot and just enjoy! When will Karl Pilkington be back again for An Idiot Abroad?   It won&amp;#039;t be long now until the man with the perfectly round head, Karl Pilkington, is reluctantly pushed out into the world by Ricky Gervais yet again for the third and final edition of An Idiot Abroad. However, this time Karl won&amp;#039;t be alone, as Life&amp;#039;s Too Short star and former Ewok Warwick Davis will be joining him. Sky1 have confirmed that the first instalment of An Idiot Abroad&amp;#039;s three-part swan song will air Friday, November 30 at 9pm. Digital Spy were lucky enough to see a bit of the new series, which follows the pair as they recreate Marco Polo&amp;#039;s journey from Italy to China, and we can confirm that it&amp;#039;s still bloody hilarious. Granted, seeing Warwick genuinely enjoy the experience does kind of water down the show. But then scenes like the one where Karl loudly expresses his fears about an Indian holy man who&amp;#039;s shouting obscenities, thrashing on the floor and punching a fire are pure comedy gold. So basically, we&amp;#039;re still very much looking forward to it. You lovely people can also get a first peek at An Idiot Abroad 3 by clicking here and soaking in a DS exclusive trailer. When will season eight of How I Met Your Mother be on?   Kids, it&amp;#039;s about time we told you the story of How I Met Your Mother&amp;#039;s return to E4. Well, actually, it&amp;#039;s not really much of a tale - basically we asked them when season eight will be airing in the UK and they gave us a tentative date of early January 2013. The season has already started over in America and in just five episodes there&amp;#039;s been tons of break-ups, secrets being outed and even a marriage proposal as we very slowly make our way towards the wedding of Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) and, hopefully, the titular mother&amp;#039;s big reveal. Oh, and Barney recruits a dog named &amp;#039;Brover&amp;#039; as his wingman... When is the new Primeval series New World going to air in the UK?      If you&amp;#039;re one of our readers who&amp;#039;s looking forward to this Canadian spinoff from ITV&amp;#039;s dino-drama, then you&amp;#039;ll probably be aware that the first episodes have already aired on the Space channel, with the series premiere attracting a disappointingly low 134,000 viewers... As for a UK broadcast, Watch have the rights to air the show over here - with no current plans for ITV to follow suit - and are planning to launch Primeval: New World in early 2013 - likely January. Make sure you stay tuned until then, because we&amp;#039;ll have an exclusive video chat with the show&amp;#039;s stars - Sara Canning, Danny Rahim and Eureka&amp;#039;s Niall Matter, who told us all about reuniting with his former co-star Colin Ferguson on New World!
