24 season 8
Hi, does anyone know when 24 season 8 starts on sky one, I thought it was next monday but I can't see it listed anywhere. Thanks in advance.
excellent timing - SKY HD being installed that day!!!

You will be hoping the milder weather starts so there are no delays! I'm counting down to this one. Season 7 was much better than 6. Still a bit jaded though up to the early ones which had some real shock value which they toned down somewhat. I've not looked at wiki for the plot lines etc. as that spoils it for me. It will be good to watch Jack in HD for the first time for me.
10 days to go and counting!
Don't forget there are 2 episodes on premier night........It's also on Sky One HD at the same time this season, not like season 7.
24 - Without a doubt the best drama series on TV ever. I absoloutly love it.
I've got series 1-6 on dvd. I'll get 7 once the price drops to the same value as 1 - 6. Series 8 will be sky plussed for now!
Of course some series are better than others and you now know what you are in for. Terrorist plots, Twists, turns, and someone good will die or be a nasty person but still a cracking programme.
Only series to come near it is prison break, which is also totally brilliant.

100% agreed, without a doubt the best thing I have seen on TV.
And the PQ on Sky1 HD for tonight's Season 8 premiere was outstanding - far cleaner and less grainy than the Season 7 Blu-ray. Sound was nice and punchy too.
Here's to another few months of living for Sundays!

I love 24 but you lot obviously haven't watched Sopranos otherwise you would not even hint at 24 being the best show ever.
Gerrardasnails:I love 24 but you lot obviously haven't watched Sopranos
Or indeed Hole in the Wall.
Nah, Hole in the Wall's HD broadcast just isn't as effective.
But seriously - great-quality HD transmission. And good to see the usual Fox trick of recycling actors from (mostly sci-fi) series. Not only do we have Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica, there was an early exit for Stargate SG-1's Ba'al. And then there's Bubba from Forrest Gump heading up CTU.
Ah yes, load of old nonsense, but i'm sure to watch the whole damn lot.....
Clare Newsome:Nah, Hole in the Wall's HD broadcast just isn't as effective.
Oh I dunno - good test of your system's colour and motion handling, I say.

Mmmm. I never fancied the sopranos for some reason. I've decided to give it a go. Just ordered it on lovefilm. Then again I never fancied 24. I just happened to catch season 3 by accident and have been hooked ever since.
If anyone out there is a 24 lover and hasn't seen prison break I strongly recommend this as well.
Oh one horrible thing about watching 24 on sky is the non-stop adverts. Sometimes its only on for 5 minutes and along come another lot!
I'll probably wait until the discs come out then watch it all in one go, but my only reservation about season 8 is this... has anyone ever noticed that since the early days it's only the odd-numbered seasons of 24 that are any good?
Season 1 - brilliant; season 2 - good, then... 3 - amazing; 4 - not very good; 5 - amazing; 6 - TERRIBLE; 7 - fine return to form; 8 - ?
Sorry but got to disagree - Season 7 was the worst to date. Each twist got more and more ridiculous as the series went on. I was glad when it was all over. The only good thing throughout that series was John Voight.
Not sure about Season 8 at the moment. It's like they've having to guide you through the story and the history of the characters by the hand...
Oh, and what's with CTU's new swanky HQ?? I think all the US funding for counter terrorism went on those glass partitions and computer screens...
Season 6 gets the clanger award for me. 7 was great. I enjoyed the first 2 episodes of 8 greatly, even though we all knew that you know who wasn't going to get that flight to you know where with you know who. [Just in case I spoiled it for someone!]
I must admit I prefer watching the box sets and 4/5 episodes a night, I might save up a few weeks worth of this season......
I must say I quite fancy The Sopranos, you get get the lot for £50 or so.
