The hit series 24 is back on our screens this week after a four year hiatus.

For eight seasons of this Fox thriller, Jack Bauer repeatedly saved the United States from the brink of disaster at grave cost to himself. But far from receiving gratitude he was branded a most-wanted villain. He had no choice but to go on the run.

Kiefer Sutherland plays Bauer and his co-star Mary Lynn Rajskub who returns to the show looking very different, describes where it picks up.

"Jack (Bauer) is a fugitive,. "He is on the run, he is wanted by everyone and he has actually started working, it's revealed, with the Russian mob a little bit and it's believed that he now is plotting to kill the president. And there's a CIA agent who is trying to find him, which tune in to find out if that's actually true or not, and Jack (Bauer) finds me (Chloe O'Brien) and breaks me out of an extreme circumstance that's crazy. My mother did not like what she watched at the premiere. I am in a really bad situation."

It's worth recalling that "24" premiered in the Autumn of 2001 and just before it was set to be launched, the whole landscape changed. What had been created as slick TV escapism seemed suddenly, for some, too close for comfort.
