A bit of Thursday excitement… Five’s bought the rights to the exciting new sci-fi drama FlashForward

Fantastic news! Brand new sci-fi drama FlashForward, being touted by some as a worthy successor to Lost, will be appearing on our screens here in the UK courtesy of Five.

The drama, from ABC, has an impressive line-up of British actors -  Joseph Fiennes (of Shakespeare in Love fame), Jack Davenport (Coupling and Pirates of the Caribbean), and Sonya Walger (Penny from Lost), and follows the aftermath of an event that causes the entire world to black out for two minutes and 17 seconds. During this time everyone sees a snapshot of their life on a specific date six months in the future.

Here’s the trailer – we think it looks brilliant!
