12.05 | BBC talks to buy '24' collapse
"The BBC2 controller, Jane Root, had already been forced to move '24' from her winter schedule, which is where the show played this year, because of the failure to reach a deal with Fox."
Yet more news from The Guardian. Does this mean that, whoever gets the rights to show it, the new series of '24' won't start until way after it's usual February slot?
UPDATE: The BBC itself pitches in:
"Messages on the BBC's '24' website have been speculating for months that the third series would be shown on Five, though a spokeswoman for the channel said it had no plans to bid for it 'at the moment'."
