"If you&amp;#039;re anything like us Digital Spy guys, you&amp;#039;ll have been counting the days - heck, the hours - until 24 returns. New 12-part event series Live Another Day is the show we know and love given a transatlantic twist, as Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) rocks up in London to prevent the assassination of the US President.  The new season begins Monday, May 5 on Fox, with Sky1 simulcasting the premiere in the wee hours of Tuesday morning for UK fans. Ahead of that double-bill opener, join as we celebrate five of 24&amp;#039;s greatest ever moments. Spoiler Alert: Most of them involve someone dying. The death of Teri Bauer - Day One, 11:00pm-12:00am  A moment that set the tone for future seasons of 24 and forever shaped the character of Jack Bauer - all season, Jack had been fighting to get back to his kidnapped wife Teri (Leslie Hope) and though he executes the villainous Drazen clan, he&amp;#039;s unable to prevent his beloved falling prey to insidious CTU mole Nina Myers (Sarah Clarke). The final scene of 24&amp;#039;s first season is perhaps the show&amp;#039;s most downbeat climax, as a heartbroken Bauer cradles his dead wife - who was carrying their unborn child - in his arms. Cue the show&amp;#039;s first use of the chilling &amp;#039;silent clock&amp;#039;. Jack is forced to kill Chapelle - Day Three, 6:00am-7:00am  British terrorist Stephen Saunders (Paul Blackthorne) held all the cards in 24&amp;#039;s third season, forcing the US government to accede to his demands by threatening to unleash a devastating virus. Jack is made his puppet and, in harrowing scenes, is forced to execute terrified CTU bigwig Ryan Chappelle (Paul Schulze) to prevent wider catastrophe. The snooty Chappelle was always a bit of a dolt, but he didn&amp;#039;t deserve this. Palmer, Michelle and Tony are targeted - Day Five, 7:00am-8:00am  Apart from snarky-but-loveable Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub), Jack Bauer&amp;#039;s closest friends and allies were President David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) and his CTU colleagues Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard) and Michelle Dessler (Reiko Aylesworth). So it was fitting that when Jack was forced to fake his own death to escape a serious reprimand from the Chinese government, it was these three that helped him arrange the ruse. But their association with Jack cost each of this trio dear - with a ruthless assassin determined to bring Bauer out of hiding, tragic Palmer took a bullet to the neck, Michelle perished in a car explosion and while her husband Tony survived, he&amp;#039;d lost the thing he loved most in the world - his pregnant wife. Again with the pregnant lady killing, 24? Yeesh. Edgar&amp;#039;s heart-wrenching demise - Day Five, 6:00pm-7:00pm  There have been more explosive, more extravagant deaths in 24 history but none as painfully tragic as the exit of Louis Lombardi&amp;#039;s cuddly CTU analyst Edgar Stiles. Edgar was always an easy target for his CTU chums, but when terrorists launched a nerve gas attack, he proved himself a true hero - attempting to save a colleague and perishing as a result. His final whimpered &amp;quot;Chloe!&amp;quot; is, without question, the saddest 24 moment of all time. &amp;quot;Shut it down!&amp;quot; - Day Eight, 3:00pm-4:00pm  The final season of 24 had its problems, but there&amp;#039;s no denying the power of that final scene as Chloe - and millions of fans across the world - bid a final farewell to Jack\u2026 or so it appeared. Hunted by the US and Russian governments, Jack must go on the run - abandoning forever his last chance at a &amp;#039;normal&amp;#039; life with daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) and her family - and it&amp;#039;s hard to hold back the tears as our exhausted hero thanks Chloe for her years of friendship and support. Honourable Mentions  Just like Jack, we get s**t done by breaking the rules, so here are a few bonus Greatest Ever Moments: Day Two - The bombing CTU bombing and Mason (Xander Berkeley) giving up his life in the Mojave Desert. Day Three - The brilliant mole fake-out with Jesse Borrego&amp;#039;s Gael, Jack exacting his revenge on Nina, the death of Sherry Palmer (Penny Johnson Jerald) and Chase (James Badge Dale) losing a hand. Day Six - Jack being forced to kill a deranged Curtis (Roger Cross) and the detonation of a nuke in downtown Los Angeles. Day Seven - Tony&amp;#039;s alive! Tony&amp;#039;s a villain! No - Tony&amp;#039;s a hero! No, wait, Tony&amp;#039;s a villain - and he killed Larry (Jeffrey Nordling)! Day Eight - Renee (Annie Wersching)&amp;#039;s shooting by a Russian killer and Jack&amp;#039;s desperate - ultimately unsuccessful - dash to the hospital to save her. 24&amp;#039;s Clunkiest Moments  Just for balance - one of the reasons we love 24 is its absurd plot twists, but in eight seasons, you&amp;#039;re going to go too far or take a wrong step once or twice\u2026 Day One - In the show&amp;#039;s dumbest ever sub-plot, Teri bangs her head and gets amnesia - &amp;quot;Are you my doctor?&amp;quot; Day Two - Jack&amp;#039;s perennially unlucky daughter Kim stumbles into a snare trap and is menaced by a cougar! No surprise they brought the character into CTU&amp;#039;s ranks next season, before writing her out as a series regular altogether. Day Six - The detonation is an amazing moment, but why does no-one seem to care in the episodes that follow that A NUCLEAR BOMB JUST WENT OFF IN LOS ANGELES? Someone&amp;#039;s car gets diverted around &amp;#039;fallout central&amp;#039; at one point, but that&amp;#039;s about the extent of the aftermath. Day Eight - Most anything involving Katee Sackhoff&amp;#039;s Dana Walsh, but especially the stuffing of Bill Prady&amp;#039;s corpse into an air vent. I mean, really?
