FlashForward

Of course, I had to do it didn't I? What with Season 5 of House just coming to an end I was feeling rather bereft and ready for a new tv series to get hooked on, and along comes FlashForward. The first episode, shown on Channel 5 on Monday night, really hit the ground running and has totally captured by imagination. Everyone in the world falls unconscious at exactly the same time, for two minutes and seventeen seconds (any significance in the length of time?) during which they have a 'flashforward' of the same time (around six months ahead). There was a cheeky nod to Lost with a billboard advertising Oceanic airlines and one of the main characters is the actress who plays Penelope Widmore in Lost. The cast is actually quite impressive - Joseph Fiennes and Jack Davenport in particular.

Definitely looking forward to seeing how this is going to unfold...
