Channel 5 Pick Up FlashForward

Channel Five have got the rights to show ABC's next 'Lost', FlashForward. The plot sees everyone on the planet black out for 2 minutes & 17 seconds during which time they see glimpses of their own future. The show stars John Cho of Harold & Kumar fame and Jack Davenport from Coupling amongst others.

Five will show the 13 part series, which starts in the US on 24 September, this Autumn.

"I am delighted we will be the UK broadcaster of this gripping new series," said Jeff Ford, managing director of digital channels and acquisitions at Five. "When we saw the pilot at the LA Screenings this year, we knew it would be perfect for our channels and make a fantastic addition to our autumn lineup."
