Lost arrives on Sky One on November 18th

Kate and Jack from LostLove Lost? Live in the UK? Have a sodding great big dish strapped to the side of your house and pay an exorbitant subscription charge each month? Then you’ll be delighted to hear that Lost, season three, will be arriving on Sky One on Saturday 18th November. It’ll also be on Sky One HD if you’ve really wasted your money and bought an HD set and a Sky HD subscription. And for true money wasters, it’ll be on “Sky by broadband” as well, subject to technical requirements and your having Sky Sports 1 and 2 and/or Sky Movies 1 and 2.

Woo hoo.

The good news is that the six episodes that will have aired in the US by then will all get aired before Christmas; Sky will continue the season in February, with each episode airing just a few days after it airs in the US.

Lost trivia: have you noticed that whenever a major character dies, it’s always at the end of their flashback episode? So if you know, thanks to trailers, that someone’s going to die, as soon as you see the flashback, all sense of mystery is removed and you know exactly who’s going to pass on. Just mentioning that in passing and not because I’m hacked off as a result about last night’s episode. Oh no.

Eddie Izzard leaves 24

Eddie Izzard has managed to last only one day of torture at 24. He was supposed to be playing a baddie, but now he’s not and the part is going to David Hunt, another English actor. Depending on whom you talk to, Eddie was either a bit of a diva and got given a push or he couldn’t juggle 24‘s filming requirements with those of his own show, Riches.
