Jack Bauer Season 9 But This Time On The Streets Of London

   

It was always one of the most action-packed series on television.
And the newest season of 24 looks to be as explosive as ever, as first pictures of the cast filming on Wednesday show the action has relocated to London.
Kiefer Sutherland looked grim-faced as he prepared to reprise his role as former CTU agent turned fugitive Jack Bauer for the scenes.
However, despite Kiefer's bloodied and bruised appearance, it was his co-star Mary Lynn Rajskub who courted the most attention on the set - mainly because of her incredibly dramatic makeover.
