UK fans of hit US drama series 24, will be upset to here that the next season may not make it across the pond. Discussions between Fox and BBC 2 executives broke down and there is no chance it will appear on the channel (reportedly). So unless someone else comes in to pick up the rights, no one in England will no what happens in another day in the life of Jack Bauer.

Non-spoiler spoilered for sake of the 24 Club who don’t want to read anything about this season…

You won’t be missing much. Most viewers are unimpressed with 24 this year.

The rights will surely be bought by Sky, Channel 4 or Channel 5, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. The BBC just had first refusal. It’ll mean commercial breaks in the show, that’s all.

Damn. Us merkins’d miss out too, because the BBC’s <i>24</i> website is leaps and bounds better than Fox’s.
