11.06 | "Part of getting a second chance is taking responsibility for the mess you made in the first place"

The new series of hit TV thriller '24' has suffered a ratings dip after its first instalment aired in the US. The opening episode of the show's third series, which stars Kiefer Sutherland, lost two million viewers compared with its second season debut.

Programme bosses are blaming the loss of interest on a change of "lead in" - the show which goes out immediately before '24's evening time slot.

The less popular 'Joe Millionaire' has replaced 'American Idol' before '24' airs.

Quick! Somebody hand me a hacksaw! Jack Bauer's problems are blamed on some millionaire guy.

Well, maybe just the formula has given all it had to give. We know enough the characters, and there's been enough mayhem in the two first seasons, I guess.

The first episode was excellent. I don't think has given all yet. The start is slower than last year, but that doesn't mean it has lost quality. Let's see how the next do. 24 is still far, far better than most of the others shows on TV. Third Season or not.
