[Grumpy Old Fart]

The TV series Lost which has been show in the States a while now and has something like 20 million viewers and had 12 emmy nominations premieres tonight in the U.K. on Channel 4 tonight (10/08/05) at 8:30pm. Here's the basic plot...

After a somewhat mysterious sequence of events, an oceanic flight from Sydney to LA crashes on what appears to be a deserted island. The chance of being found and rescued are fairly small, so the survivors have to cope with a set of challenges. They have to learn to survive on the island, a mysterious place with enough dangers on it's own. Also, they have to learn to live with each other if any success is to be expected. And finally, they have to live with themselves and their pasts. Interwoven with the events on the islands are flashbacks to the pasts of some 10 main characters. Step by step, we learn a little more about their diverse and unexpected pasts as the group's quest to survive takes shape.

Anyone besides me going to be watching it tonight?
