Well 24 proved me wrong last year. After the departure of President Palmer, I thought series four would not bode well. But, be it without a brieft appearance towards the end, it did.

Now comes series five, which premieres Sunday, January 15 on FOX and early February on Sky One in the UK.

What we know from Digital Spy so far is that we can expect at least two new actors. Syriana star Jayne Atkinson has been signed to play Karen Hayes, a "heavy-handed" Homeland security official who "is sent to CTU to clean up a situation".

Stephen Spinella, a Tony Award winner for Angels in America, will play Miles, her subordinate.

"We feel lucky to be working with so many great actors," said exec producer Howard Gordon. "Each of these newcomers, as well as the previously announced cast additions, will help deliver the thrill ride 24 fans have come to expect."

I also heard rumours that the new series will also be going out on Sky Three, which will be good for all those with Freeview...
