Kiefer Sutherland was mobbed by fans as he joined fellow cast members in front of Tower Bridge to celebrate the successful launch of the new series of 24.

The show returned to strong ratings when it launched last nights with many fans taking to Twitter to voice their excitement that Jack Bauer was back. 'Live Another Day' is set in London, and pits Bauer as fugitive on the run in London.

Joining Kiefer at the London launch in historic Old Billingsgate was long-running co-star Mary Lynn Rajskub who plays Chloe O'Brian, alongside newcomer Yvonne Strahovski who plays Kate Morgan. Also there was British actor John Boyega who plays Chris Tanner, a computer tech. Boyega has just been named as a lead actor in the new Star Wars series.

Kiefer told us he had some trepidation about returning, but was happy fans had received the first two episodes so well. He said he will see how this series goes before committing to further series.
