Golden Globe and recent Emmy® Award nominee Simon Baker stars in The Mentalist as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation.
On Thursday 17th December 2009, London will play host to an epic Guinness World Record attempt as Covent Garden comes to a standstill for the ‘Most Coins Flipped Simultaneously’ in Heads or Tails: The Big Flip. Participants are expected to flock to the West Piazza at 10am laden with loose change where Justin Lee Collins, host of FIVE’s new game show, Heads or Tails, will compere the proceedings and join in with the synchronised spectacle.
FlashForward’s executive producer David Goyer has revealed that we will meet a host of new characters later in the first season.
Goyer confirmed that the Somalian boy we saw in episode three will return as an adult.
“We have already written that character as an adult,” he told MTV news. “We’re hoping to have a certain actor play him. We haven’t nailed it down yet, but we’re crossing our fingers.”

TV presenter Justin Lee Collins has hinted that once his two year deal with Five ends, he may consider retiring.
Speaking to the Daily Record, the 35-year-old explained: “I am not so in love with this job that I just want to carry on doing it forever. The money is nice and I enjoy what I do. But family is more important – and so too is my health.
Olivia struggles to accept Bryce’s suggestion that a patient’s flashforward holds the key to a correct diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile, Demetri accuses Mark of waiting for the future he saw in his flashforward to come true without incident, while Mark feels Demetri is letting his fear of what he witnessed envelop his life; and Nicole returns to work as Mark and Olivia’s daughter’s baby-sitter, and discloses her shocking future vision — involving a murder.
Mark and Janis travel to Germany to speak with an imprisoned Nazi who claims to have knowledge about the blackouts, and an anonymous tip leads Demetri to believe his deepest fears about his future. Meanwhile, Aaron pleads with Mark to help him get the approval to have his daughter’s body exhumed in order to re-test her DNA and confirm the identity of the remains.
Mark and Demetri head to Utah to track down a suspect who may be connected to the global blackout, Olivia comes face-to-face with the man from her vision, and Mark and Olivia’s daughter, Charlie, has trouble coping with the aftermath of her flashforward.

The show has been a huge hit in The States, where it won 10 Emmy Awards and five Golden Globes but its audience in the UK had dipped to around 100,000.
A spokeswoman for the channel said: “30 Rock just didn’t find a big enough audience in the UK, although it was critically well-received.”
Fans need not worry, as of next month the comedy can be caught on Comedy Central instead.
