In "Lost" battle Channel 4 wins war. C4 outbid its competion to have the exclusive U.K. rights to the hottest show at this year's L.A. Screenings, Buena Vista Intl. Television's thriller "Lost." The show will start airing next year. It features former Whedon alumns David Fury and Daniel Dae Kim.

Also another Angel guest star will be starring in this series, Josh Holloway - who guest starred in the pilot episode of Angel.

First thing off the top of my head...right here right now...YAY! i hope its as good as herc and everybody else is making it out to be, although is that really a good thing due to the cancellation rate of 'great' shows?

Channel 4 bought the rights? Oh crap. Then the show is doomed. I'm sorry but they completely mishandled Angel and I have very little faith in them. I hate to say it but Sky One should have got the rights.

ok...simon i agree. i know i was all yay up above but your totally right. they did ruin Angel, badly placed ad breaks, missed episodes, cut scenes...pivotal scenes. But doesnt that also mean that it will be re-shown on E4? maybe untouched...?

I had the pleasure of watching the pilot of this new series today and I must say (NO SPOILIERS COMING) that it has got to be one of the most interesting pilots I've seen in a long time.

Great acting, great casting, great character development, great storytelling (I loved the direction and editing of the show), simple (yet utterly effective) film making techniques used to draw you to the characters and their situation - Do yourself a favor and DON'T READ ANOTHER WORD ABOUT THIS SHOW - the less you know the better.

Can't say enough just how much I enjoyed the show - I can't wait for it to air so that I can spew forth all the stuff that I want to talk about and discuss with everyone, however my desire to let others enjoy it as much as I did compels me to shut the hell up!
