I’ve just finished watching this week’s Panorama - not a programme I normally watch, but the pre-broadcast hype about the conduct of the presenter made me intrigued about the content of the show.

Having watched the whole thing rather than the clips available earlier on YouTube, I can understand why the presenter, John Sweeney, flipped out - although the Scientologists would counter that by saying we have only seen the BBC’s side of the story.

If you haven’t seen the show, then basically the BBC were initially granted access by the Scientologists but subject to certain conditions - conditions the BBC felt they couldn’t abide by if they were to give a balanced and fair argument for and against the movement.

I’m going to surmise that the whole premise behind the show of Lost is to confuse, bewilder and annoy the life out of it’s viewers - and it seems to be working a treat!

The show is nearing the end of it’s third series (or season as they call them in the US of A), and it’s just been announced that the show will carry on for another three slightly shorter seasons with the finale of all finales airing in 2010 when we will finally discover what the hell is going on!
