View Full Version : 24 - Season 7 / Redemption - *SPOILER ALERT*
Found this on another forum.... Don't know if it's genuine or not, sounds ridiculous :doh:
The innovative, addictive, Emmy Award-winning television series 24 resets the clock for Season Seven with a special two-night premiere event Sunday, Jan. 13 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Monday, Jan. 14 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
In keeping with FOX’s commitment to airing original programming year-round, the intense season will unfold in 24’s regular 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT time period beginning Monday, Jan. 14, and will continue to air all originals all season into June.
“Day 7” of 24 will continue the show’s unique and trend-setting format with compelling new elements. With CTU dismantled, the show’s setting moves to Washington, DC, where JACK BAUER (Kiefer Sutherland) faces trial for his actions in the pursuit of justice. Bauer’s day gets off to a shocking start when former colleague TONY ALMEIDA (Carlos Bernard), last seen in “Day 5,” returns after being left for dead by a terrorist conspirator in CTU’s infirmary.
“Tony’s uncertain fate near the end of ‘Day 5’ left the door open for his return,” said executive producer/show-runner Howard Gordon. “And since there was no silent clock at the conclusion of his last appearance – the 24 tribute to a major character’s demise – we always kept this as a possibility.”
Bernard’s return highlights a list of notable cast members clocking in for Season Seven, including the previously announced Cherry Jones (“The Heiress”) as President ALLISON TAYLOR and Janeane Garofalo (“The Larry Sanders Show”) as FBI Agent JANIS GOLD. Colm Feore (“Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee”) will play First Gentleman HENRY TAYLOR and Bob Gunton (“Desperate Housewives”) is White House Chief of Staff ETHAN KANIN.
FBI Agents assigned to the team investigating the crisis befalling Bauer include Garofalo’s Agent Gold in addition to Annie Wersching (“General Hospital”) as Agent RENEE WALKER, Jeffrey Nordling (“Dirt”) as Agent LARRY MOSS and Rhys Coiro (“Entourage”) as Agent SEAN HILLINGER. John Billingsley (PRISON BREAK) portrays security specialist MICHAEL LATHAM. Although CTU is no longer, CHLOE O’BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and BILL BUCHANAN (James Morrison) are back for another momentous day of shocking events.
As part of News Corp.’s global commitment to fighting climate change, 24 has pledged significant and innovative changes to its production practices with the goal of saving energy and reducing carbon emissions. Created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, 24 is a production of Real Time Productions and Imagine Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Joel Surnow, Robert Cochran, Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, Jon Cassar, Manny Coto, David Fury, Kiefer Sutherland and Brian Grazer are the executive producers.

Apologies if there is already a thread dedicated to the warm up to the new series, but for some reason the forum search will not allow me to locate it.
Anyway, rather stunning news overnight that I'm surprised is not actually here as yet.
Fox announced a press release detailing properly the location and characters for the new series. Bewarned, there is a biggie listed below.
But is it a cause of celebration, or a sign of desperation?
"Day 7" of 24 will continue the show's unique and trend-setting format with compelling new elements. With CTU dismantled, the show's setting moves to Washington, DC, where Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) faces trial for his actions in the pursuit of justice. Bauer's day gets off to a shocking start when former colleague Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard), last seen in "Day 5," returns after being left for dead by a terrorist conspirator in CTU's infirmary.
"Tony's uncertain fate near the end of 'Day 5' left the door open for his return," said executive producer/show-runner Howard Gordon. "And since there was no silent clock at the conclusion of his last appearance - the 24 tribute to a major character's demise - we always kept this as a possibility."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The press release also confirms that Mary Lynn Rajskub ("Chloe O'Brian") and James Morrison ("Bill Buchanan") will be returning in Season 7, though CTU is no longer part of the show.
As for other cast members, here's a bit more from the press release:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bernard's return highlights a list of notable cast members clocking in for Season Seven, including the previously announced Cherry Jones (The Heiress) as President Allison Taylor and Janeane Garofalo (The Larry Sanders Show) as FBI Agent Janis Gold. Colm Feore (Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee) will play First Gentleman Henry Taylor and Bob Gunton (Desperate Housewives) is White House Chief of Staff Ethan Kanin.
FBI Agents assigned to the team investigating the crisis befalling Bauer include Garofalo's Agent Gold in addition to Annie Wersching (General Hospital) as Agent Renee Walker, Jeffrey Nordling (Dirt) as Agent Larry moss and Rhys Coiro (Entourage) as Agent Sean Hillinger. John Billingsley (Prison Break) portrays security specialist Michael Latham.
24 resets the clock for Season Seven with a special two-night premiere event Sunday, Jan. 13 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Monday, Jan. 14 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
The fact that this information is in a press release means that surely, its not really a spoiler.
But its hidden anyway :)
Next they will be saying it was all a dream and Keifer will wake up to find Tony] in the shower.
You may wanna put spoilers round some of that.

I always kind of thought he was alive, because Tony is like Jesus and can return to save us. I hope they reveal that he's been spending the last couple of years watching football and drinking beer out of a mug like that time Jack went round to his house.

Exactly what I thought when I first heard this.
Desperation on the part of Fox. They know the last series was basically rubbish and they killed off far too many of the favourite characters.
Hope some miracle cure is currently being found for Edgar too.

24 was never the same after they 'killed off' Tony. I gave up on season 6.

Are they though. The press release says "JACK BAUER (Kiefer Sutherland) faces trial for his actions in the pursuit of justice". That sounds potentially "tedious as hell" to me, unless Jack smacks the judge and runs off in episode 1 and spends the rest of the series evading the law.

Ok sounds rubbish (the trial bit) so let's write the script:
Day 1: Some Terrorist guy says "I'm going to kidnap some Government official at the Senate within the hour". Miss President is keen to boast to the world how tough she is on Jack, so demands all security personel guard him to prevent him from escaping and ignore everything else. First Husband says that's too strong a force, Jack is a man and I'd divorce you if Jack Bauer ever asked me out.
Jack Bauer is on trial, it's the day of his hearing in the Senate where he must answer questions and they're demanding answers
Jack Bauer decides to be truthful, he's asked a difficult question about trying to Kill Heller, but then BAM explosion in the senate, masked gunman run in and kidnap someone (speaker of the house? Vice President? No idea don't care for the moment, as long as there's explosions).
Jack Bauer's instinct is to run, kill one of the bodyguards by doing something to his neck.... then says "DAMMIT" beep beep beep beep..
Episode 2 - Tony says Hi
Bill at Counter Bad Things Happening to America Unit* "Have you secured the Perimeter around the senate?"
Chloe: Yes
Morris: Darling, you should be more elegant now you have a child
Chloe: shut up Morris
Tony: Yeah shut up Morris
Bill: Where is Jack?
Chloe: He's on the run
Bill's boss: Ok any contact with him Chloe and you tell me AND ONLY ME
Chloe/Jack phone conversation, overheard by Tony, Tony helps Jack.
Tony and Jack go on the run to find the kidnapped senator while the guards are chasing Jack, he's gone off the grid.
*Based in Washington, they moved the original CTU building brick by brick as to get away from the bad terrorist attacks that happen in LA.
But hey I'm not that inventive, I'm sure the writers will come up with better material =)

Certainly hope so as this - as it stands - is a dull premise for the new series.
Kiefer Sutherland has been jailed for 48 days.
But looks like he's "saved" the show though - what a hero!

Fox's 24 will world-premiere a Day 7 trailer on Thursday, Oct. 25, at 1 pm/ET on the Panasonic jumbo screen in Times Square. For those of you who don't work a half block from the New York City landmark (and thus don't have to navigate around aimless tourists on your way home), the preview will also unspool at 24Trailer.com. That night, the first promo for the seventh season (launching Jan. 13 and 14) airs during Game 2 of the World Series.

Anyone that has Sky+ or Sky HD may be interested to know that the trailer is available to view via Sky Anytime.
Just checked it out and it looks brilliant on a proper TV.
I hardly recognised Entourage's Billy Walsh with the slick hair do.
Tony with a skinhead. :lol:
Well they usually give a character a beard to turn them evil, so something different was obviously needed in this case. ;)
While the Tony thing is a little silly, I don't care...killing him off was the biggest mistake they made...even the nature of his death was so underwhelming.
I wonder if they knew they would bring him back or they were just trying to recoup from the backlash they got for killing him off.

He'll only be evil till about episode 8, it will then turn out that he's been a good guy all along and working undercover.

Don't forget George Mason!!!

Unfortunately I think you may well be right.
I remember season 1 I hated Tony so much when he was snooping around Nina and Jack. He's one of the best characters in the series, I hope he isn't REALLY a bad guy..even if it is predictable.
I wonder if they knew they would bring him back or they were just trying to recoup from the backlash they got for killing him off.Well Tony never did get the silent clock that even Edgar got so...
That said, it's probably not even "our" Tony but the baddies, some face swapping shenanigans and a dastardly plan! :D
That silent clock stuff is BS anyway. Didn't Jack get the silent clock at the end of season 6 ? he's still alive.
The trailer looks good. Don't like the sound of the green screen business with Fox post-syncing the actors in location shoots months after the scenes were filmed.

26-10-2007, 23:31
I'm glad that they've finally done away with the dour CTU offices and gone for a bright and breezy look. The different locales should give the show a little more pep, and with Tony as the Bad Guy I'm instantly intrigued. In true 24 style there's obviously more to it than that, but even as a mere starting point it sounds good to me. Hope they don't throw it all away though...
It's good to see another actor from Robocop in season 7! :notworthy
"I work for Bauer... Jack Bauer! He's head of CTU" :lol:
Psycho :nuts:
Well after the poor season 6, I hope 24 gets back on track.
At least with CTU gone and a change of location they are trying to freshen it up, and it looks like Jack is going to torture at least 1 person so I am looking forward to it already.
Looks like the guy Jack's given permission to torture is taken out by a sniper after an FBI mole has revealed his whereabouts. New territory ;) ?

The writers work on three/four episode arcs, so I doubt whether they've scripted more than the first three or four episodes so far - which IMHO has been one of the main failings of the show, nobody having much of an idea of where it's all heading.

24 season 7 delayed until Jan 09!!!.
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/14/tv.24delay.ap/index.html
NEW YORK (AP) -- One fallout of the Hollywood writers strike is that fans of Fox's drama "24" have to wait until next January to see Jack Bauer again.
The network has committed to air a full season on consecutive weeks and had been planning to start last month. If it had started airing new episodes soon, the season finale would not have taken place until the summer, when TV networks rarely show their high-profile programs.
Even though eight episodes for this season had already been filmed before the beginning of the writers strike, producers would have had to ramp up production soon to complete the season.
So "24" represents this television season's most prominent casualty due to the writers strike.
A January 2009 start seemed the best way to comply with viewers' wishes that a season's episodes run without interruption to conclusion, Fox said on Thursday
:(
Could be for the best as we'll hopefully have a fully plotted out season rather than one that is half thought out and then spins off in random directions.

i think this is the best thing that could possibly happen.with viewer interest waining last season, a year off, almost as though the show has "ended" seems the best way to build up the hype for jan 09.
does this mean that when it returns to production in september they'll just have 16 episodes to film?
after 6 relentless "days" over 6 years, a one year break is the best way to revitalise the format. yes its annoying, but 24 could potentially come back stronger from it.

Cos then we would have 4 weeks of 24 viewing and that would be it. Its the simple fact they've not made enough to cover the season as yet.
I will happily wait till next year as long as we get a VERY good season from all the extra tike they've got, rather than season 6, which was a bit like throwing mud at a wall to see what sticks.

The producers of the Emmy-winning series are developing a two-hour "prequel" to the upcoming seventh season.
The movie, designed to bridge the two-year gap between Seasons 6 and 7, is targeted to air in the fall, leading to the January return of the real-time drama. On Wednesday, "24" producers began securing the show's core cast members for the film.
"24" was one of the biggest casualties of the writers strike. Three days into the work stoppage, Fox decided against airing a partial season of the serialized drama with the eight episodes produced before and during the first weeks of the strike.
Each season of "24" is a closed arc that takes place in real time over a 24-hour period. The upcoming seventh season is set in Washington and features the first female U.S. president, played by Cherry Jones.
At the end of the writers strike, there were rumblings about a possible split of the seventh season into two parts to air in the fall and in midseason. But Fox was quick to put those rumors to rest, reiterating that the show's scheduling pattern will remain intact with a January launch.
The "24" writing team is back at work, with filming on the remaining episodes of the seventh season slated to begin in April. Missing from the writers room is the series co-creator/executive producer Joel Surnow, who left at the end of the strike. Since the fifth season, "24" has been run by exec producer Howard Gordon.
Fox and 20th Century Fox TV, which produces the series with Imagine TV, declined comment Wednesday.

Looks like we wont have to wait until Jan '09 for some 24 thrills & spills.
The Hollywood Reporter is saying that a 2hr TV-movie is starting production to fill in the gap between S6 & S7 & will be shown this Fall (as early as September perhaps?). :thumbs:
Will it be called "2"?
2 hours is barely enough time to drive to the shopping centre and find the air conditioning plant room, let alone zoom all over California chasing bad guys who turn out to be minor bad guys compared to the next lot of bad guys who also turn out to be minor bad guys until eventually he figures out at 1h59 that it was the President all along ... etc.
I guess the 2 hours will only contain 5 minutes from each of the 24 hours.

A new two-hour 24 television movie will act as a prequel to the delayed seventh season.
The show's executive producer Howard Gordon told IF Magazine: "This will be a standalone movie that takes place almost a year after the sixth season ended, and will set up the story that launches the seventh season. It will be entirely new material."
Jack Bauer was originally due to return to screens in January for an uninterrupted run of episodes, but only eight were filmed before the writers' strike caused the production to temporarily shut down. Fox opted to withhold the episodes until January 2009, to allow time for the remaining 16 to be produced.
The 24 television movie will reportedly be screened in the autumn.

I think it will be called 120 Minutes, and feature Bauer infiltrating My Bloody Valentine to prevent an assassination attempt on Kevin Shields.

It's set in South Africa and Robert Carlyle is in it. Looking forward to it.

Or maybe they want more money from us buying the DVD prequel...

Methinks they were given both the budget for season 7 last year, and the budget for season 8 this year, while still making season 7. They wanted to have the first few hours of season 7 set in Africa, and then do away with the standard 24 hour timeline and jump forward to Bauer getting back into the States. Alas, the budget got in the way, and they had to jettisone the SA storyline.
With the likely extra money, they've been able to tell the story they wanted to in the first place. Also, with the extra year gap, if they mess up season 7 I'll be royally ****** off. No excuses this time, they've had LOADS of time to get a fully plotted season together, instead of just winging it like S6.

Rather high profile casting announcement overnight.
In his first tv role in over 40 years, we have Jon Voight appearing as the big bad for the season. He'll also be in this year's tv movie.
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - In his first series role in 40 years, Jon Voight has signed on as a recurring character on the upcoming seventh season of "24."
On the Emmy-winning Fox drama, Voight will play the uber-nemesis of Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), who is pulling the strings behind next season's terrorist threat.
The character will be introduced during "24's" two-hour Season 7 prequel and will be featured heavily in the latter half of the season.
The prequel, now shooting on location in South Africa, is slated to air November 23, with Season 7 of the series kicking off in January.
Voight's role marks the first high-profile villain casting on "24" since Season 1, when Dennis Hopper appeared in the final episodes as Serbian nationalist Victor Drazen.
Voight did several TV guest spots early in his career -- including a three-episode stint on "Gunsmoke" in the late '60s -- until his movie career exploded with "Midnight Cowboy" in 1969.
A four-time Academy Award nominee, Voight won the best actor Oscar for 1978's "Coming Home." He recently reprised his role as Nicolas Cage's father in "National Treasure: Book of Secrets."

This need for terrorism in every season is getting me down now, my god, do they really need to reinvent the same wheel every year? Either think of a new, fuller, direction for the show that will produce an end result or kill the show completely and let us remember it for what it was when season 3 ended...pure brilliance.
If you ask me, they should never have come back to the U.S. so quickly after season 5, it should have focussed on Jacks escape from the Chinese' clutches. It may not have been feasible within "24" hours, but it would have made a hell of a better story than season 6.
Sorry, I had to say that. I love 24 as much as anyone and more, but it's really let down by the fact that the producers won't let sleeping dogs lie with this whole "same thing every season" routine.

Surely the show centres around the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) so it's pretty much odds on that they would be dealing with terrorists?

One of the original concepts for the show was a comedy drama set 24 hours before a wedding. S'true.
Surely the show centres around the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) so it's pretty much odds on that they would be dealing with terrorists?
If the story didn't deal with terrorism they could find an excuse to focus on a different organisation. Or just change CTU's name and extend its remit to deal with something else (not unheard of in government). Or move key characters to a new organisation (or make them independent). Or throw out the old characters: kill them off in the first episode (shades of the season 5 premiere) for the double-win of a dramatic opening and a series shake-up.
I've found 24 less appealing as it's gone on, and I only watched half of season 6. I too was disappointed that the Chinese prison camp angle wasn't explored further: a dual story with Jack in China and some CTU gubbins in the US would have been great (and given that 24 is set a few years in our future, I reckon they could even have brought Jack back to the US with a little artistic license).
Similarly I thought season 5 missed a huge opportunity to give us a few hours at the start where Jack was on his own in small-town America.
Terribly_Mauled
13-06-2008, 14:43
I'm guessing you didnt see the trailer for S7 late last year?
CTU is dismantled and Jack is 'on trial' for his activities [ir: his methods of 'information gathering'] in Washington DC.
I didn't see that (generally I don't watch trailers for TV shows if I'm intending to watch the show so I avoid spoilers, but in this case I should have done so given my comments above). The plot you describe sounds like a much-needed shot in the arm for the franchise, and will get me watching again. :thumbs:

Its unclear at present, there are multiple location cuts though so I'd find it unlikely. The action jumps between Washington DC and a coup in a fictional South African country, where Jack is. Probably have some exposition and then jump into real time for an hour or so. They are currently filming IN South Africa now.

Actually Kiefer menstioned season 7 for the first time has it's whole season figured out due to the extra time this year, and that's gotta be good. Whatever this 2 weeks or so are, perhaps it's just extra fine retooling, you know they are ahead on episodes, episodes 1 to like 7-8 were filmed like a year ago, they have the advantage of taking their time, something they didn't have in any previous 24 season, I think it's actually good news.
I think there is alot of pressure to make this season good, given the time out, it's good they are thinking ahead.
They must of already wrapped like 18 episodes, they have episodes up to April 2009 covered already, so stop with the sad smilies, and celebrate the tralier of 24 REDEMPTION!!!!
Actually this means they can have season 8 written and planned out with the extra time, and maybe they are working on the season finale and final episodes of season even. Maybe the writers strike was the best thing to happen to 24.

So they've seen Hotel Rwanda and John Rambo then...
Its not grabbing me at the moment. Hope I'm wrong but I think we have seen the best of Mr Bauer.
The 2 hour "movie" seems to have been cobbled together from what they intended to be the opening story arc for season 7, before deciding it wasn't all that great and ditched all the Africa footage so as to go straight into the return of Tony Almeida story - which would have been played out by now if it hadn't been for the writer's strike. If they thought the Africa stuff wasn't going to be good enough to start off season 7, what makes them feel it will make a good two hour show in its own right. Hope I'm wrong but it doesn't bode well.
Looks like they've been having "script problems" anyway, even with the long break:
Filming for the new season of 24 is to be suspended for 18 days while the show's team works on revisions to scripts.
The pause in production begins on September 25, when episode 18 has been completed, and will run until October 9. It will not affect plans for the launch of season seven in January, however.
Executive producer Howard Gordon made the decision because he was concerned about the quality of upcoming scripts, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Work on the Fox thriller resumed in April following a break in production caused by the WGA strike. There had previously been filming hiatuses in summer 2007 after producers decided to make changes to the season's plot.
Lead actor Kiefer Sutherland, who plays Jack Bauer, promised earlier this year that the forthcoming season will be the best yet.

The reason Africa was ditched in the first place was money reasons, they couldn't film in Africa.
Then the writers strike happened, fans didn't get any 24 this year, so they gave money for tv movie, yence Africa back
look at the cast
Tony Todd
Jon Voight
Robert Carylse
Impressive cast, they wouldn't of got them, or the money had the writers stike happened, obviously they made changes and had more time to do things differently. it's fans like you that put unnesscarry pressure on a great tv team, LET THEM WORK. :D
24 does a incrediable job to provide near like movie entertainment, don't forget it's still tv, not a feature film budget.

Right, I getcha, it was them fans what ruined season 6.
Anyone missing their 24 fix would do well to watch the latest series of Prison Break. It's practically a total rip off.
"I'm on it" references a-go-go
Could the 7th season of "24" be the last?
There's an interview with Kiefer Sutherland in the latest issue of Total Film magazine in which the end of "24" is hinted at.
Total film: What's the status of the 24 movie?
Kiefer: It's in limbo. It's never been anything but. The writers decided they couldn't write the film and do the series at the same time. So we all agreed that we would approach doing a film if it was still desired when the series ended, which could be as early as next year!
Sounds interesting, but I guess we'll have to wait and see how it does in the ratings..........

I love 24 but would be far from devestated if it all ended. It's had a good run.
I thought Redemption was the 24 movie :thinking:

No. They've been talking about a theatrical movie for years. Redemption is just for television.

Hell, yes! Was thinking that I wasn't bothered by 24 any more but that's a great trailer :D
that looks a lot better than the Robert Carlyle prequel show

Looking good so far.

That last line in the trailer! :lol::lol::lol:
And Clarence Boddicker! How did I miss that!
Jack also appears to think he is now Horatio from CSI Miami.

Was wondering when Clarence Boddicker was going to turn up seeing as nearly all of the rest of the Robocop cast have been in the last few seasons

Colour me excited now!! Looks like a lot of changes (although we've still got Chloe!). Really hope the time off has allowed them to come up with a proper plot this time. Otherwise it's back to the George Mason Bingo Board :)

Looking very impressive from the trailer. But it couldn't ever be worst than season 6! Some great looking stunts and production and some nice lines.

It's probably all nicked from the first 3 eps. It's the other 21 you have to worry about. ;)

That looks superb. Over the top corny action. Perfect.
And Clarence Boddicker! How did I miss that!
and CandyMan and Tommy Flanagan !
can't wait
"The FBI has been compromised; we have a leak."
Ho ******* hum.
Same old same old.

What is different about it, the other trailer seemed similar?

Lots more stuntwork on show in this one, The Tony/Jack confrontation at the end is different. Just lots and lots of new material other than the opening and expositional stuff.

How good does that look, cannot wait! Great casting as well! Roll on January! Will we get it pretty quickly after the US, want to watch this in HD!
Just saw this advertised on Sky Sports News. :thumbs:
Was anyone else thinking Far Cry 2 :D
Trying not to read all the guff above, I don't want to spoil my viewing.
I'm trying to set my Sky+ to record 24: Redemption, but it refuses to do so. Will quite happily respond to record requests for other programmes on the same date. Anyone else got this problem?
I've just sent a remote record command from the Sky website and it claims to have worked.

I tried setting it to record last night and it wouldn't work either...

I managed to set it to record this morning.
Holy moly - had forgotten I started this thread, now Season 7 is almost upon us, I'm nearly foaming at the mouth with anticipation, especially now that I get to watch it when broadcast on Fox :D Seen the ad's on TV for Redemption though and it looks a bit strange... we'll see Sunday I guess :)

Got it to work now. Won't series link to the rest of the season though.
I notice Sky1 are showing this at 10pm because, for some reason they're showing a repeat of "Road Wars" at 9pm!
I can only see two reason why they made that decision.........
1) It's so violent Sky felt that 9pm would be too early - even for them!
or 2) It's so rubbish Sky clearly feel that they will get a larger audience watching "Road Wars" then "24".
On a slightly seperate note, I see that Sky2 are showing the entire 6th season all in one day from 6am on Saturday 22 'till 6am Sunday 23.
Here's what Radio Times had to say about season 6, which I though hit the nail right on the head:
Before Sky1's new double hour of Bauer power, a chance to see all the season six on one day. Morris gets tortured with a power drill, Jack's brother has a plastic bag over his head, a villain gets his neck chewed off.... and one of the shows Executive Producers ends up apologising for the decline in quality.
What's the point of that when they'll have to cut loads of it?

Can't believe this is nearly upon us. Virgin just got the channels back in time. Anyone know what number Sky 1 is on Virgin now?

How about you press channel up or down until you find it or use the EPG and find it that way? :nuts: :thinking:

It's channel 121 according to google. As for scrolling through all the channels, I could do if I had a spare 30 minutes! There are rather a lot.

not pin protected, am watching right now. Doubt they will cut that much, most of is is talky talky politics and no swearing anyway or nudity. So just some violence and most of that was never that bad.
Am at 10am today. hopefully sky+ will series link it all. had no memory of the plot :D
I am really surprised at this all day thing not being pin protected, it must be cut as there are still some pretty brutal parts in the episodes airing pre-9pm.
btw who is able to watch tv for 24 hours straight through? It's impossible.

Season 7 is gonna be shown on Tuesday night's less than 24 hours after it's aired in America :)

Why why why are they showing this on monday and not in the usual sunday 9pm slot????
Some of us are working night shifts this week :mad: Well me anyways :D
I guess it's my duty to be the first one to post about Redemption seeing as I started this thread.... Just finished watching it - pretty good, though the amount of adverts was insane - that won't be an issue for a lot of people on here though I suspect ;) There was the obligatory torture scene etc.... Ready for season 7 now.... roll on Jan!

bah as if even America would vote that hideous woman in as their president. Was this written and filmed when Hilary Clinton was still in the running?
well I found that rather tedious. Less than 10 minutes of action in approx 1h25 of footage. Basically just a load of filler to set up the new series rather than anything useful in itself - I hope they pick up the pace. Robert Carlyle deserved his destiny just for his awful accent.
Always like to see the Candyman. Always disappointing to not see Chloe.
It's back, now with 5% less JPG artifacts.

You need to do a special CTU-free edition. Even so, I think you could almost tick all of column 4 though. And the Cisco phones are still in full shot so you can tick Product Placement for sure.
Well it was for next season as well. But if you can confirm if CTU won't be in it and can tell me the replacement then I guess I could re-do it.
Digitalspy ran 10 things they knew about Redemption:
9. CTU is out (and indeed, won't be back in season seven, either). In this movie there's no Chloe and no Bill Buchanan.

Ah well bugger. Suggestions for the Season 7 Bingo Board needed then.

Watched redemption this morning. Pretty good really. Typical 24 fare but with slightly strange local(?) acting.
Sort of like if 24 was on BEN.

I couldn't work out why they put so much effort into hunting down that group of kids. Couldn't they have just found some others?
