"Bionic Woman" sees Michelle Ryan starring as Jaime Sommers, a down-on-her-luck surrogate mother to her rebellious teenage sister, Becca (Lucy Kate Hale). She falls for a professor called Will Anthros (Chris Bowers), who works for an organisation that develops bionic replacements for human limbs. When Jaime is seriously injured in a car crash, Will saves her life using experimental medical implants. After being fitted with new bionic powers, Jaime agrees to work for the Berkut Group, a quasi-governmental private organisation that performed her surgery. This update of the 1970s US science-fiction show was cancelled after eight episodes. It premiered in the UK on ITV2 in 2008.
