Catch up with Lost in just eight minutes

Given up on Lost a while ago and not sure you want to rejoin it for its final season? Silly you/poor you without Sky. The last season ended brilliantly.

But I feel your pain, so here, in just eight minutes, you can catch up with everything that’s happened in the last five seasons so you’ll be ready for season six.

In the US: December 26th/January 2nd, BBC America

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Yes, it was Christmas, but it was also time to say goodbye to David Tennant as the Doctor in a two-part special of Doctor Who. We laughed (maybe), we cried (probably), we said “WTF was that?” (a lot) – it was a typical Rusty way to end it all.
