well, as an avid listener to the Lost podcast, you find that actually
they're filming stuff right up to about a week or two before it's
broadcast. So they can't deliver an entire series in one go because it
hasn't necessarily been filmed. It depends on the show, though. All
shows are different.
Oh and if we in the developed world suddenly stopped developing our
systems and technologies so that the rest of the world could catch up to
make it fairer ... the developing countries wouldn't have much to aspire
to.

Hi Damon, I have no idea if it was broadcast over the satellite, but I
don't think so because when talking to a friend from New York, ABC was
showing it over there between 9 and 11:30, which would mean 2 to 4:30
our time, plus as you said, all those other countries must have needed
time to have had it translated in to their local languages. It is
interesting to know though that this is how audio description companies
work. I thought that they audio describe entire series before it's even
broadcast. If what you say is how they work (and I have no reason not to
believe you, you working for the BBC and all *smiles*), then it's a bit
more of a reason for me to be sympathetic to them. Like I said, it's
being repeated tomorrow and on Friday. Of course I'd hope that
tomorrow's would be audio described, but if not, Friday's surely would
be. Now I got to go and camp somewhere in the middle of nowhere and
totally disconnect myself from the world so I don't find out what
actually happened! Just got to hope that in my camping adventures the
smoke monster doesn't get me!

Hi Vanja. I'm a huge Lost fan and I Sky plussed it overnight,
ready to watch later.
I held out a little hope that they might put audio description
on it, but figured it might be too much work for the AD company. They
usually need a day or two turnaround time and, as this episode was
simulcast with west coast america at 5am this morning, they may well
have had no time at all to describe it.
Was it a direct simulcast from ABC in America, down the line? Or
did sky physically have the video in advance and fire it up from their
headquarters in London? If so, how many days had they had it for?
If they'd had it a few days there may have been time. However,
the description company may not have been able to meet that deadline.
Sky only decided in the middle of last week that they'd be carrying it.
Flash Forward on Channel 5 is broadcast in the UK a couple of
days after the US broadcast and its first airing doesn't have AD on
Five. But it's Friday showing does. It's all about time taken.
And, with such a big global tv event like finding out why the
hell they were on that island, perhaps ABC were being very guarded by
not letting anyone have the tapes until it aired in the US. Oh but
actually this can't be true because I know it went out live in Spain and
Portugal too, so presumably they would've needed a bit of time to dub it
into their local language.
If you're angry, I'd bring it up. I think it's a shame it wasn't
audio described because, as you say, I've now got to avoid the facebook,
the internet and my friends who watch it, until an AD version appears.
And I suspect it won't be audio described until Friday's usual showing.
Lets find out.

I'm so pissed off beyond belief! Probably like many people
across the country and the world, I woke up early to watch lost, the
last episode of it. Yet, for hell knows what reason it's not audio
described! Every episode on sky 1 was audio described, yet this last,
probably most crusual one is not being audio described! Maybe it's a
technical fault and that is probably what it is, but it is so so so not
fair! I understand that the episode is being repeated again tomorrow at
9 PM, but it is still unfair that everyone will be talking about it and
that I have to wait because sky can't be bothered to fix something that
might not be importart to the majoritty of viewers, but it is still
important!
I don't know if any of you watch lost and have just now
attempted to watch this last episode, but I would assume you're
experiencing the same problem. This is just umbelievable!
I'm sorry, this is probably somewhat off topic, but I'm so angry
and I had to let it off my chest somewhere and especially since not many
other people are awake this time of the morning, this seemed like the
perfect place.
