Channel Five has been on a shopping spree, and has picked up the UK transmission rights to the shows Training Day and Taken, both based on hit movies.

Five will be showing them on its 5USA channel. Training Day stars Justin Cornwell, the late Bill Paxton, Katrina Law and Drew Van Acker. Taken, meanwhile, sees Clive Standen step into the character of Bryan Mills, as played by Liam Neeson in the movie trilogy. Jennifer Beals co-stars in that one.

Training Day’s run will be limited, given that the show has already been cancelled in the US. Taken, though, is already up to season two.

Transmission dates have not yet been announced for either.
