22 to go

It's back. 24, the show where secret agents dressed by FCUK and Gap wander round an Ikea warehouse looking shifty, had its season 4 premiere last night. Whereas the thrill of season 1 - 'WTF is this?' - gave way to season 2 - 'can they pull it off again?' - many viewers thought season 3 lost its way. When Kim got kidnapped for the third time, or menaced by a mountain lion, the phrase 'jump the shark' sprang to mind.

The first two episodes were moderately entertaining, on the back of a cast cull - only Kiefer Sutherland and Chloe are still around from last time - and Kim Raver (Third Watch) and Nestor Serrano, who was fantastic when Jesus Hopped the A-Train came to the London stage, have joined. The show also seems shameless about its status as the informal torture manual for the war on terror.

Perhaps Jack Bauer could get mixed up in this: a secret service ban on crosses during the inauguation day parade. Not sure if it's true, but the story appears at http://www.family.org/cforum/fnif/news/a0035137.cfm
