That's a good point, I listen to that too, but I totally forgot about that. In
fact I should have really thought about it since even in Friday's documentary
the cast was talking about how, at the time of when the doc was filmed, they
had no idea how it was going to end. Well let's hope tonight's repeat at 9 is
audio described.

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.
