Lis and I were talking a while back that you could make the Gunpowder Plot into a pretty decent season of a historical version of 24. To fit into the format, you'd have to do some time-compression, fitting events that actually took place over several days into one day, and probably even sticking a couple of even earlier events into the time-line (although I'd start the season with the tunnel under the Houses of Parlament already finished, and having them finish loading the barrels of gunpowder in the first episode.

Also, I don't know what you'd name the main character.

However, "Bauer" is a German surname which seems to mean "peasant farmer" of a particular status. An English surname with approximately the same meaning is "Bond."

Just sayin'.

One problem is that the result might look a bit too much like V For Vendetta.

"Problem?"

I'm sure DC's lawyers would have one. Also you might get a very angry Alan Moore showing up on your doorstep.

Huh, I didn't realize that "Bauer" had the connotation of "serf". I associate it with Josie Bauer defeating the traveling salesman in the Callahan's stories. :)

Yeah, but would it really be 24 without the miraculous cell phone that gets 18 hours on a charge? :-)
