The great one is back

At the centre of TOUCH is Martin Bohm (Sutherland), a widower and single father, haunted by an inability to connect to his mute 11-year-old son, Jake, played by David Mazouz (Criminal Minds).

Everything changes when Martin discovers that Jake possesses the gift of staggering genius – the ability to see things that no one else can in the patterns that connect seemingly unrelated events. Jake is indeed communicating, but it's not with words, it's with numbers. Now, it's up to Martin to decipher the meaning and connect the numbers to the cast of characters whose lives they affect.

TOUCH co-stars veteran Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon)as a professor and expert on gifted children who works alongside Martin in deciphering the meaning of Jake's visions; and British actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw (JJ Abrams' Undercovers) as a social worker who works with Martin as they learn that Jake can see things and patterns that connect unrelated events. The series marks Tim Kring's first television series following his Emmy nomination for the drama Heroes, which ended in 2010.

Following a special preview in the US last month, TOUCH has already proved to be one of the biggest hits of the TV season attracting over 12 million viewers, with critics saying the pilot "was compelling, emotional, mature and hopeful" and calling Sutherland's performance "magnetic" .

In a television first, there will be a worldwide launch for the series, which will premiere nearly simultaneously in more than 100 countries. Speaking on what originally attracted him to the role, Sutherland commented: "There was something interesting because obviously this is very different to 24. Yet there is a real similar through line in the kind of character of the man. Jack Bauer would be faced with unbelievable circumstances in the course of a day and he would never win completely.

This guy is never going to win either. He's never going to have the quintessential relationship of a father and a son. And yet he perseveres and that's a great kind of character statement and I identified with him greatly on that."

Sounds really good. The UK are only going to be a few days behind the US, too.

I've been looking forward to this for a while now. Looks very promising

[Novo]

Looks like one of those shows that will start really well then go **** after the first season

[King Gizzard]

Danny Glover, bound to be amazing

[Locke.]

Only 13 episodes per season so they will be able to make sure it is right and not have a lot of filler

[Marsh.]

Looks really good. But this premise looks like it can only go so far. Which may be a good thing, except if they drag it out.

[Shaun]

[Locke.]

Great stuff

[Mystic Mock]

I was wrong to doubt this,what a fantastic start,Kiefer Sutherland is brilliant as always and the Autistic boy is a very good actor,his one to watch out for in the future.

[Niall]

I meant to watch this. It looked good.

Didn't the creator of Heroes have a hand in it too?
