Thumbs up anyone watching 24 on Sky One?

Superb plot, well written script, and great characters

Missed series 1&2 so need to buy them on DVD asap.

Anyone else watching!

cheers

I missed it on Sky One coz I thought it was gonna be on BBC2 (I prefer my viewing without adverts) But the stupid ***** at the BBC cited poor viewing figures as the reason not to take up their option to show it
If they'd showed it at the same time every week instead of moving it for everything from the All Lancashire Shove ha'penny championship downwards, they'd got better results

The first two series are well worth getting, the second IMO was better than the first.

Actually BBC were not allowed the series

they fell out with Fox over something else (it was along the lines of not being able to stop other parts of Europe viewing the BBC signal)

agreed was better without adverts, but now the hours are a real hour

Don't have Sky, but luckily, all episodes available on emule etc.
Just watched the last one of series 3. Want to know what happens?
Ok, I won't spoil it for you.
I wonder if there will be a series 4?

Loved Series 1 and series 2 was even better. Watched first 3 episodes of series 3 on Sky and then got bored waiting a week at a time so downloaded them all on bit torrent. Better than I thought as wasnt sure what direction they would take it this time. Last 2 episodes were a little soft IMHO.

I believe that there will be at least another 2 possibly 3 seasons yet, maybe even 4 or 5

I think there was talk originally of being 8 seasons, but we all know that any show can be pulled at any time for no apparent reason

Watched 1 and 2 religously (helped with it being on a Sunday evening and being able to get an hour ahead on BBC3). However watched the first few episodes of season 3 on Sky, then forgot and missed a couple, kind of gave up at that point. Guess I should try downloading them now I have broadband.

Haven't got Sky, but my folks have been recording it for me, so still no adverts , I'm just running a week behind Sky at the moment.

This series took a bit longer to get in to for me but am enjoying it more now.

Thumbs up

yeah, missed Series 1 and 2 so thought I'd try out 3 not expecting to enjoy it - but its the best thing I've seen on the tv for years now.

Just damn annoying when the clock ticks round to 59m.59s and you have to wait until the next Thursdays episode!

Wheres the best place to buy S1 &2 from on DVD? Play.com?

cheers

Really enjoyed series 2 got bored with series 3 to be honest after about 6 episodes - when you found out jack (spoiler alert) had sprung whatsisname out of jail to get the virus.

seemed like it was starting again

oh and Elisha Cuthbert doesn't look half as fit in this one...

I love it.

Impatience however got the better of me and I just had to download EVERY episode from about 7pm onwards after having watched up to then on Sky1, haha.

The producers said there will be a fourth day, super!

Saw the episode last night, possibly the best episode of the series yet... I'm still in shock from the ending. I won't spoil it but, man, I really didn't expect that was going to happen...!!!!
