Right...so Lost season 2 starts tonight....but the Lost season 1 re-run
doesn't end till Friday????

I missed the first airing of Lost, and was so chuffed to know that they
were
re-running season 1 and about to start season 2 also. Understandably, I
*thought* I'd get to watch all of season 1 before season 2 started. And
I
could have done......*IF* they'd started the season 1 re-run three days
earlier...or started season 2 three days later.....or any other
possibility.... of which there has to be many. This, to my mind, is
f'ing
ludicrous. :'(

Now I'm going to have to record tonight's three episodes of season 2,
and
sit on them until Friday. Hard to do with something so addictive as
Lost.
Much easier said than done. :(

You could always watch them on your PC, from the C4 website for the
bargain price of 99p each :-)

Only you can't. The pointlessly expensive on demand eps they are
offering
are season 1 only.

That's completely mad. I see from their site that season 2 eps are
available a whole week after transmission, which seems a bit pointless
as the next will be broadcast at that point.

Given that the episodes can be downloaded 24hrs a day, I expect they'll
be the censored versions too. That was BBC7's excuse for blanking out
f-words from the Listen Again versions of comedy shows (and also the
main post-watershed broadcasts themselves until I challenged them on it
as I explained in this group a short while ago)



Well they really have not got the hang of these on demand video services
yet. Like the media excitement over King Kong. Download it for £15.99 and
they will send you the disc through the post too. Or just buy it down the
supermarket for £12. Well worth it.

Indeed. I couldn't see what they were trying to achieve. If they made it
available for download while it was in the cinema, and it cost no more than a
fiver and it was decent quality and DRM-free...
