If you find Twilight too teenage and far-fetched, but like the idea of a spunky series involving vampires, then True Blood is about to become your new favourite show. Already a massive hit in the States and a burgeoning one over here thanks to it's recent run over on FX, True Blood is about to hit the a mainstream UK audience with a metaphorical stake through the eyeballs when it debuts on Channel 4 tonight at 10pm. The action centres around 174-year-old (but still very hot) vampire Bill Compton (played by Brit actor Stephen Moyer) and a young mind-reading waitress called Sookie (Anna Paquin). The couple fall for each other, but then have to deal with the fact that people are dropping dead all around them, and Sookie's mouth-wateringly hot brother is the main suspect. Yesterday heatworld went to meet up with the star of the show Stephen Moyer, and we think he has actual vampire powers. He certainly managed to "glamour" us, anyway. Anna Paquin is one lucky lady. He also told us that over in the US there is a group of True Blood fans who call themselves "Bill's Babes". They like nothing better than to follow Stephen and ask him to bite them. Scary, yes, but totally understandable. In fact, we're thinking of joining them. Make sure you check out the show tonight on Channel 4 at 10pm. For now we've added a sneaky peek below to whet your appetites. Have a watch and tell us what you think. Oh, and if you want to laugh at heatworld's flushed face and check out the very gorgeous Stephen Moyer minus his vampire slap, then just click here to see our photo on Twitter.
heatworld asks: If you were a vampire, which celeb would YOU bite?
