Kiefer Sutherland missed his '24' "family" while the show was off air.
The 47-year-old actor is back as fugitive ex-Counter Terrorist Agent Jack Bauer in new series '24: Live Another Day' and he admits when the show ended in 2010 after eight seasons he found it hard to know he wouldn't get to see the friends he had made working on the programme.
Speaking at a special screening of the first episode at Old Billingsgate Market in London on Tuesday night (07.05.14), Kiefer said: "I was fine putting the character to bed but we had worked with the crew for eight years, 98 percent of those people were there from day one to the very end. I think over the course of the eight years 32 children were born and 42 marriages happened. I know it sounds trite but we were a family.
"I went to say goodbye to the camera operator Guy on the last day and we used to have a phrase 'we danced together'. He did some of the most beautiful handheld work I've ever seen in my life and he was like working with a really talented actor and I went to shake his hand I wanted to say, 'It's been an honour.' I'm not a real crier but my lip went and I had to look away and so did he. I miss that, I miss my friends ... I just knew that I wasn't going to be able to see those people everyday; I knew I wasn't going to work with those actors everyday and I think that was the hardest thing for me to let go of and that will always be the thing I missed the most about the show. With regards to the character if I want to pull out some costumes I can do that stuff in my house but I miss the people."
Kiefer admits he was as surprised as anyone when he was told by lead writer Howard Gordon that '24' was coming back.
The action hero was initially worried the new series wouldn't be able to match the show's high standards but he thinks the London-based adventure about a plot to assassinate the US President is the best series ever.
Kiefer - who was joined at the Q&A by his co-stars Mary Lynn Rajskub and Yvonne Strahovski - said: "What's it like having Jack back in my life? Well, surprising would be the first word. We put this to bed for a reason, Howard Gordon our lead writer was tired, he'd written 196 episodes which is an unbelievably prolific amount of work it's almost equivalent to a hundred in an eight-year period, so I was very surprised. I actually called him to congratulate him on his Golden Globe win for 'Homeland' and he said, 'I'm really glad you called, I want to talk to you about something.'
"We had set the bar for ourselves with the eight seasons we had done and the last thing we want to do is damage the legacy of a show you've put to bed. Having said that now we've almost finished I'm so glad that this was the decision we made, it's just been an unbelievable experience. I think we've made the best ever season of '24'."
'24: Live Another Day' starts on Wednesday May 7 at 9pm on Sky 1 HD and Sky 1 +1.

Michael Jackson's children have been granted a total annual income of $8 million.
The late King of Pop left behind three children when he died of acute Propofol intoxication in 2009 - 17-year-old Prince, 16-year-old Paris and 12-year-old Blanket - and the court that oversees their welfare has now allocated finances for their living expenses.
The expenses for the youngsters, who live with their grandmother Katherine Jackson and their cousin T.J. Jackson in Los Angeles, California, breakdown as $3 million for their school fees, $300,000 for holidays and $600,000 for a personal security team.
The court has also authorised them to spend a further $200,000 a year from their late father's estate on renting a mansion.
In addition to Paris, Prince and Blanket each receiving $15,000 a month in spending money, their legal guardian, Katherine, also receives $1.2 million a year for looking after them.
The value of the 'Thriller' hitmaker's estate has grown from £3.5 million to £400 million since his death five years ago.
The sums have emerged as the mother of Prince and Paris - Debbie Rowe - seeks to gain custody of her children, as well as Blanket, who was born through a surrogate mother.
The former nurse, who was married to the pop star for three years between 1996 and 1999, claims the children's grandmother is "too old" to raise them.

George Clooney has won over his soon-to-be in-laws.
The 'Monuments Men' star, who got engaged to lawyer Amal Alamuddin last month, has made a good impression on her father Ramzi, who was skeptical when he first learned of their relationship because of his Hollywood status.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "[The family were] scared ... that Amal's accomplishments and education would be neglected in the press - and even by George.
"The family is extremely educated and takes pride in what they've accomplished in life, both in Lebanon and around the world."
The source claims Amal's parents "devoted their lives" to providing the best education possible for their daughter and they were worried that all that could be eclipsed by George's fame.
But now Ramzi has got to know the actor he approves of the 53-year-old star "wholeheartedly" and is said to be a fan.
The source said: "He clearly has the brains to go with his beauty, and he's working hard to prove to them that he deserves a place in their respected family."
Although Ramzi is "not very fond" of the media attention surrounding their engagement, he is happy Amal's accomplishments have been recognised.
The source added: "Her father couldn't be prouder of her and is beyond thrilled that the world now knows her name and what she has done. He jokes that George will become known as Mr. Alamuddin instead of Amal being known as Mrs. Clooney!
"[Amal is] not a gold digger. She has her own money and things going on, and George has told people that's why he knows he can trust her and wants to be with her.
"She isn't going to be arranging paparazzi photos like some of his past girlfriends have done."
Meanwhile, George's close friend Julia Roberts has described the engagement as "sublime".
The 46-year-old actress gushed about his new fiancee during an interview on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.
She said: "I think it is sublime. [Amal] is beautiful and smart and he is happy and that's what matters to me."

Denzel Washington generously gave $1,000 each to students who were competing for a scholarship.
The 59-year-old star awarded 24 finalists, from select US cities, who were competing in the August Wilson Monologue Competition a cash prize.
According to the New York Post newspaper, the actor said: "Just don't spend it all tonight."
Competition judges included his wife Pauletta Washington and Stephen McKinley Henderson - who he worked with in famed playwright August Wilson's production 'Fences.'
Boston student Ashley Herbert won the contest after beating regional competitors who travelled to the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway to participate in a weekend devoted to the late American playwright, who died on October 2, 2005, before competing in the final round of the competition.
Denzel previously revealed he feels fortunate to have gone to college and then later acting school because both provided him with the early foundations for his successful Hollywood career, which has seen him win two Academy Awards.
He revealed: "I wanted to carry on with my education, because I realised how important it was. I went to university and acting college. I was in my mid-20s before I started work as an actor. It was something I enjoyed but it was hard to make a living. That's the thing about acting. To be an actor, all you have to do is say you are one. That is perhaps the saddest thing about it. That is why there a lot of angry, frustrated people walking around Hollywood without any training or any work."

Dean McDermott "wasn't attracted" to the woman he had a one-night stand with.
The reality TV star left wife Tori Spelling devastated when he admitted to having sex with Emily Goodhand while on a trip to Toronto last December, and he has now admitted he only slept with her because she "was there".
Speaking during a couple's therapy session on their reality show 'True Tori', he said: "Emily was there. ... I wasn't attracted to her. It was just like a warm body. I felt like I was on autopilot...
"It was an escape, just like drugs and alcohol."
Dean went on to complain about the lack of sex he has with Tori now they have four children, Liam, seven, Stella, five, Hattie, two, and Finn, 20 months.
He said: "We have four kids. In the sex department there are ebbs and flows. ... Do I always want more with you? Absolutely. Every day all day. I'm insatiable.
"Do I want more? Yeah. She has complications from the last pregnancy. Our sex life wasn't awful, but it wasn't stellar."
Tori - who pointed out they had sex the weekend before he slept with Emily - admitted she felt their intimate life was "never enough" for her husband, and was constantly paranoid he would cheat on her as a result.
She said: "It was never enough for you! I wore that guilt all the time thinking he's going to cheat on me. I can never give you enough sex."
Dean insisted he wasn't demanding and they even "pushed it to a month of going without sex sometimes".
The actress broke down in tears and said: "I thought you were really happy with me. ... This really makes me feel bad about myself."
Later in the session, her husband also aired his own insecurities.
He admitted: "I hear once in a while, 'You look handsome.' Every day I tell you I love you and how beautiful you look. I don't feel like you think I'm the cat's ass.
"I feel like a fatass, small d**k...piece of s**t."
The couple's therapist later urged the pair to write letters to one another about their feelings, but in another therapy session, Tori rejects her husband's apology, arguing he feels no remorse.
Her spouse insisted he does, and began shaking as he branded himself and his actions "disgusting".

The trio, along with other famous faces including Christina Aguilera, Kerry Washington, Shakira, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Sandra Bullock, have been recognised by Working Mother magazine in their annual list as parents who "inspire us to keep striving for bigger and better."
The publication selected mothers across eight categories, Entertainment/Literature, Fashion/Tastemakers, Finance/Business, News/Advertising, Politics, Retail/Manufacturing, Philanthropy and Tech/Science, and recognises those who "have demonstrated the talent, business acumen, innovative spirit and sheer guts to make a formidable impact on the world in so many compelling ways."
Jennifer Owens, the editorial director of Working Mother Media, said the "formidable" group of women on the list are prime examples of people being able to juggle their careers with family life.
She said: "The 2014 list of 'Most Powerful Moms' is a formidable group of women who manage to balance high-octane careers with caring for their families. From tastemakers to titans, these moms are a thriving group of women who revel in the payoff of integrating their work and motherhood lives."

A sequel to the 'Spring Breakers' is in the works.
Wild Bunch productions will launch 'Spring Breakers: The Second Coming', which will follow "the Spring Breakers who do battle with an extreme militants Christian sect that attempts to convert them", reports screendaily.com.
The original comedy starred Vanessa Hudgens, 25, Selena Gomez, 21, and Ashley Benson, 24, who play young wreckless teenagers and the follow-up will "allude" to their characters.
Wild Bunch co-chief Vincent Maraval said: "It's not a direct sequel although there are allusions to some of the characters in the original."
Irvine Welsh has written the screenplay and 'Horsemen' director Jonus Akerlund will helm the project.
'Spring Breakers' was directed by Harmony Korine who had missed out on what he saw as opportunities for hedonistic pursuits as he'd been devoted to skateboarding in his youth.
The film received positive reviews from critics and proved to be a commercial success as it grossed $31 million worldwide.
It premiered at the Venice International Film Festival on September 4, 2012 before being released internationally.

Ed Sheeran collaborated with Usher after the pair bonded at a Passover dinner.
The 'Drunk' hitmaker, who is set to release his second album 'x' next month, met the star during the Jewish holiday, which runs between April 14 and April 22 and they quickly hit it off and decided to record a song together.
Ed told DJ Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1: "I was at a Passover dinner and sat next to Usher, it was quite random.
"I met him once before, but never enough to be like 'Yo what's up man?' but he went over to me with his phone and he's like 'Yo check it out' and he downloaded 'Sing'.
"And he was like 'Yo, man, do you want to get in the studio sometime?' and I was like 'Yes, Usher, I would love to get into the studio sometime.'"
The 23-year-old singer-songwriter didn't hang around and sent Usher a text at 1am the day after with music ideas and soon found himself in the studio with Usher, Diplo and Skrillex.
He explained: "[Usher was] like, 'Yeah, we are just getting started. And I went down and we made this awesome song. I had this guitar idea on my phone it was literally just a voice note and I emailed it to Skrillex then he took it in sampled it and made a beat out of it, and then me and Usher just went back and forth on melody ideas and lyric ideas."
Ed confirmed the as-yet untitled collaboration will most likely appear on Usher's next album, which is due for release later this year.

Royal
Britain's Prince George enjoyed a secret ice-cream trip during his stay in New Zealand.
The youngest member of the royal family escaped to Frank Kitts Park, Wellington, to savour his first ice-cream with his Spanish nanny Maria Borrallo while his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were hard at work touring New Zealand last month.
The nine-month-old baby managed to avoid the cameras for a rare afternoon, no doubt a welcome break from being the centre of attention during his first official public outings.
The pair went completely unnoticed by passers-by, who missed George nibbling on his nanny's 99 Flake cone.
Barry Ludlow, the Mr Freeze ice cream van owner who served them the tasty treat, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "There were plenty of people walking around the waterfront, there were children everywhere, but I don't think anyone saw them.
"They didn't look out of place at all."
Wellington's Mayor Celia Wade-Brown added: "I have heard rumours from people that the nanny and Prince George were out and about in the city and were seen places, and one of the rumours was that they were at Frank Kitts Park.
"I hope they enjoyed a chance to have some peace and quiet without being recognised by anyone."
George is currently resting at home after a hectic three weeks in Australia and New Zealand, where he was showered with attention from fans and photographed incessantly.

Showbiz
Russell Brand is letting homeless friends stay at his Los Angeles mansion.
The comedian and actor, who has been spending more time in London with girlfriend Jemima Khan, has stunned his pals with his generosity in allowing them to "chill out" at his lavish $3.4 million pad while he is away.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "It's keeping a roof over their heads, and they're good people who don't bother anyone so he doesn't see the harm.
"They just chill out and watch TV in the home cinema, or relax by the pool overlooking LA.
"They're never seen anything like it in their lives. They're in awe of Russell and his generosity."
The 38-year-old star's Beverly Hills mansion is just yards away from properties owned by Jennifer Aniston and Keanu Reeves but Russell makes sure his guests are supervised during their stay so that they don't annoy his celebrity neighbours.
The source continued: "Russell knows having his pals unsupervised would be pushing his luck, and probably his neighbours' patience.
"So he's got a friend of his from the charity he runs to stay over with them and make sure everything's in order. It's been working out fine."
In the past, the comedian, who is a former heroin addict, has given homeless people lifts in a car, taken them out for meals and handed out cash in the street.
He was also once seen helping a man riffle through a rubbish bin.
