24 cut to 60 seconds

If your attention span could not cope with watching all of Kiefer Sutherland's spy thriller 24, help is at hand.

The makers of the US show have created a spin-off series of 24 episodes which last not 60 minutes, but 60 seconds.

Fox TV will beam them to Vodaphone 3G mobile phones, making the series the first made for the medium. British subscribers will receive the first so-called 'mobisode' of 24: Conspiracy on January 30.

Sutherland will not appear but maker Spark Hill Productions said the new characters will 'closely resemble' those from the original.
