"There&amp;#039;s no feeling in the world that compares to finding out that your favourite show is about to come back on air. Seriously, it&amp;#039;s a life highlight. For example, when we found out Homeland had been renewed for a third season, we jumped up in the air and the legs were out there... it was magic. But who cares about us? We&amp;#039;re only interested in you and the shows you wanna know about - like Dallas, Hannibal and Bates Motel. Read on for details on these and more... When will we know if new Dallas is being renewed - awesome show!  It&amp;#039;ll probably be a little while yet - following the triumphant return of Dallas in 2012, we got definite word on a second season in late June, before the first run had even wrapped... But it&amp;#039;s no secret that Dallas has had a rougher ride this year on both sides of the Atlantic, suffering declining ratings on both TNT and Channel 5, so expect to endure a few more weeks of waiting. That said, TV&amp;#039;s Patrick Duffy has said that he feels &amp;quot;optimistic&amp;quot; about the show&amp;#039;s chances of renewal and we&amp;#039;re with him. We reckon as things stand, the revamped Dallas has at least one more season in it. Any idea when Sky Living will air Hannibal?  May 7 at 10pm is the confirmed UK airdate for NBC&amp;#039;s take on Thomas Harris&amp;#039;s cannibal killer - with Sky Living having landed the broadcast rights. We&amp;#039;d advise tuning in - you can read our full review of the Hannibal pilot here, but suffice to say that it&amp;#039;s wonderfully dark and visually inventive, with a top-notch cast. Bryan Fuller&amp;#039;s series stars Hugh Dancy as Will Graham - an unusual and really rather unsettling protagonist - and as the good Dr Lecter, Mads Mikkelsen is a million miles away from Anthony Hopkins&amp;#039;s chilling camp. Think Casino Royale&amp;#039;s Le Chiffre, if his thirst for torture was exchanged for a hunger of a different kind... Keep your eye on Digital Spy in the coming weeks for interviews with both series star Dancy and showrunner Fuller as Hannibal&amp;#039;s UK premiere approaches! Has any UK broadcaster bought the rights to Bates Motel?  They have now! A&amp;amp;E&amp;#039;s Psycho prequel has been acquired by the Universal Channel (Sky - 113, Virgin Media - 137, BT - 858) for UK transmission. They&amp;#039;ve yet to confirm a transmission date - but the good news is that there&amp;#039;s plenty of Bates Motel to come, with a second season already confirmed! Along with Hannibal, Bates Motel is a great new addition to the under-exploited genre of horror television. Put Hitchcock&amp;#039;s Psycho out of your mind and what you&amp;#039;re left with is a decent, compelling drama with some great actors attached. Freddie Highmore is particularly terrific as the young Norman. Remember that cute little kid from Finding Neverland? Well, he grew up and he got creepy - no offence, Freddie! Hi guys. Recently Channel 5 picked up the rights to the American hit show The Bible, but do you have any idea when it will air here in the UK?  Hi samy1014 *waves*. Some of you may only know the Mark Burnett series as the one that got people mad by casting an actor who looks a bit like Barack Obama to play Satan. But come this autumn when The Bible makes its UK debut on Channel 5, we promise there&amp;#039;ll be much, much more to talk about. The five-part religious drama features retellings of stories from Genesis to Revelation, including the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, so we&amp;#039;re picturing fans awestruck by its epic scale facing off against outraged members of the Daily Mail brigade. We at Tube Talk are going to stick our necks out right away and say we&amp;#039;re fans! Vicious looks hysterical! When is it on?  Can you believe they managed to get Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi on a TV show together... and then forced them to make awkward &amp;#039;70s sitcom-esque gags? Nah, we kid. Vicious seems like good fun, and we&amp;#039;ll be tuning in just to see how wide Iwan Rheon can get his mouth to open. Seriously, in the trailer his jaw is flopped down like a Sesame Street puppet:  Anyway, Vicious, which stars McKellen and Jacobi as a catty gay couple and also features Frances De La Tour as their hag, Violet, will start at 9pm on Monday, April 29 on ITV... just enough time to warm up the laugh track.
