24 Returns

A new series of 24 with Kiefer Sutherland will air in 2014.

Does this excite you?

It does me.

No - I've never watched a single episode...

You clearly haven't lived. Buy the boxsets in the morning, they will enrich your life.

Neither have I but folk keep telling me that it's good.

The last thing that I saw Kiefer Sutherland in was the film Stand By Me.

Me too. Cracking film.

Never seen it.

I have watched them all. Compulsive viewing. A bit far fetched because there is only somebody like AD who could probably play Jack Bauer but the scriptwriters must be clairvoyant. They had a black President before Obama was voted into office.

First 4 series were excellent the last few weren't as good, but still worth watching.

May be dragging it out a bit now but I'll still watch it.

Season 5 is one of the best ones it's the Charles Logan one where he conspires to kill the russian president lol! Absolutely superb TV and it's also got Edgar Styles who was one of the greatest characters ever.

Season 6 IIRC is where they started to bring in Jacks Brother and Dad which was a mistake IMO.

What season is it where Jack has to stop a terrorist from leaving a shop so robs it, that was absolutely amazing, as the clock runs down he pulls a balaclava on.

I am pumped it is back.

Are you easily excited Nat?

1 hope it lives up to expectations .

Never heard of it.

I watched half of season one the other week and gave up on it as it was average at best. It didn't grab me like Lost or prison break. I am going to start watching breaking bad or the wire when I have the time.

The first season is actually the worst of the lot in my opinion.

Lost? That was awful.

Lost was superb at times, awful at others.

The flashfoward reveal is one of the best episodes of anything ever.

Breaking bad may be the best show ever, it's brilliant, closely followed by the wire.

The first season of prison break was by far the best IMO they got steadily worse I gave up eventually, all got too ridiculous.

It excites me about as much as us signing Beckford - i.e. not much.

Still here?

it is coming back for 12 episodes ONLY so the titke of the show is wrong, yet again! It should be 8 hours 40, whereas the original series should have been called 17 hours 20 - once you remove all the commercials!

Seriously, though, I think its a bad move, financially from a "we need commercials money" Network TV point of view its a winner but can't see the standard being teh same as the old series.

I'll watch it but I will be pleasantly surprised if it is any good. The last few series tended to get a bit samey and most of the characters we know apart from Chloe have been killed off by now.

Maybe this time Jack will die and not come back.
