Eleventh Hour

From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.

Airing on CBS in 2008, Eleventh Hour is an adaptation of a BBC series originally titled The Eleventh Hour. Knowing that British audiences had never seen 24 before, the BBC gambled that series based entirely on the events of "Hour 11" from various seasons would make at least as much sense as anything Russell T. Davies has done recently. The high ratings (by BBC standards anyway) proved them right, and as a result the show will be exported to the United States. As CBS viewers have probably never seen 24 either, Eleventh Hour will probably be a success.

Canadian Version

Independently of CBS and the BBC, CBC has also produced their own version of Eleventh Hour. To distinguish it from the other shows, this version is set entirely in the chill of the Northwest Territories.
