OT: Burn Notice on FX UK

There's been a lot of chatter on the DorothyL mailing list recently about this 'spy' series. My own interest in it is due to the fact that Michael "Stargate" Shanks will be guest appearing in series 2. An advert on FX has given the UK premiere date of 5th October. From the official Burn Notice website:
WHAT IS BURN NOTICE?

When spies get fired, they don’t get a letter from human resources.

They get BURNED...

This summer, USA Network presents the second season of Burn Notice, a sexy, action-packed original series starring Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Westen, a blacklisted spy. Dumped in his hometown of Miami without money or resources, Michael struggles to put his life back together and find out why he's been burned. In the meantime, he uses his unique skills and training to help people in need ... mostly people who can't get help from the police.

Burn Notice also stars Gabrielle Anwar as Fiona, a beautiful ex-IRA operative who happens to be Westen’s ex-girlfriend. Bruce Campbell stars as Sam, Michael’s closest buddy in town, a washed up military intelligence contact who is keeping an eye on Michael for the Feds. Also starring is Emmy® Award-winner Sharon Gless as Madeline, Michael’s hypochondriac mother, who couldn’t be happier to have her boy back in town.

Created and written by Matt Nix, Burn Notice combines the best of the action/thriller elements with surprising humor and an iconic new breed of spy.
