'24' writers use T-shirts to improve show

The writers of hit show 24 have been wearing T-shirts to remind themselves of the highly criticised sixth season.

Carlos Bernard, who has returned to the role of Tony Almeida for the current seventh season, told Digital Spy: "Well, I didn't see the sixth year... [but] I'd heard that it was a weak year.

"When I came back I did notice that people were dedicated towards sort of redeeming themselves and redeeming the show and getting it back on track."

He continued: "I walked into the writers' room in the first month or two and they were all wearing T-shirts that said 'Season Six' on them just to remind themselves. So there was definitely a concerted effort to bring it back."
