Iconic mystery thriller series is now free to stream in the UK

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video An iconic mystery drama series hailed as 'paving the way for modern TV' has officially dropped on ITVX and is free to stream in the UK. The long-running US cult drama, Lost, will has landed on the streamer just in time for those who are overdue a rewatch or looking to finally binge one of the buzziest shows of the 21st century. The ABC series, starring Matthew Fox, Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly, ran from 2004 to 2010 and follows the survivors of a plane crash on a remote tropical island in the South Pacific Ocean. As our characters scramble to stay alive, we delve into what led each of them here as they begin to uncover a bigger conspiracy at the heart of this disaster. Created by J. J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and Jeffrey Lieber, Lost quickly amassed a cult following before cementing itself as one of the most culturally influential American TV shows of the era. The synopsis reads: 'Their survival is threatened by a number of mysterious entities including polar bears, an unseen creature that roams the jungle, and the island's malevolent inhabitants.' The six-season series, largely filmed in Oahu, Hawaii, won several accolades during its time on air, including a Golden Globe and 11 Emmys (from a whopping 54 nominations). Lost has an impressive 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and has been praised for paving the way for modern TV. Is Lost one of the best TV shows of all time? 'Simply one of the most extraordinary pieces of art ever made. It demonstrates how ambitious, brilliant, and transcendental the serial format can be,' Google reviewer Neil Geisler wrote. 'One of the best shows ever made in my opinion. If you're willing/ready to binge watch a series, I am sure you won't be disappointed. All of the characters are great and the show just keeps getting better,' Joe S echoed. 'One of the best damn shows that I shall never forget along with it's amazing characters!! Lost gave me everything I wanted great storyline, suspense, funny, emotional and the cast !!' Megan Pillay shared. Over on X, Mica wrote: 'We as society don't talk enough about the fact that the season 1 finale of Lost practically invented cliffhangers and paved the way for modern TV shows.' More Trending And noicebandito warned: 'I'm not even exaggerating when I say that watching Lost for the first time this year completely ruined my life because there's literally no other show that can make me feel the way I felt when watching this.' Zach Silberberg added: 'If you've never seen Lost, do yourself a favor and watch the opening of the pilot. After 20 years it's just as intense and brutal as ever.' Lost is available to stream on ITVX. View More » This article was originally published on March 7, 2025. Got a story?

Il Divo "excited" ahead of show at Llangollen Eisteddfod

The global classical-crossover sensation will take to the stage in Llangollen on July 11. Since their formation in 2003 under the vision of Simon Cowell, Il Divo has enchanted global audiences with their masterful fusion of classical technique and contemporary repertoire. Comprising four exceptional voices – Swiss tenor Urs Bühler, Spanish baritone Carlos Marín (who passed away in 2021), American tenor David Miller, and French pop artist Sébastien Izambard – they embody musical sophistication, charm, and international flair. The group is set to go on a worldwide tour, starting in June, which will take them across the globe until March 2026. Ahead of their performance at the eisteddfod later this summer, Urs and David spoke to the Leader about what's to come. Urs said: 'We have never performed in North Wales. The only place we've performed in Wales was in Cardiff, and there for the last 20 years, but never in North Wales. We're very excited and curious, it's a part of the UK where I have never even been to, so very excited about that. "We've had about five months off which is great as it allows you to live a normal life and feel like a normal person every now and then. "That makes you really excited to go out again and I always count myself very fortunate that after 20 years I can still travel the world for work and discover new places I've never been to. "It's wonderful to have that chance to go out again. We've taken a breathe and we're ready to take on the world again." David added: 'It's wonderful, none of us being from the UK, but being a UK band has really created this unusual sense of being adopted by the UK. "We've played many places but when we play a new place it's always very special for us, we're looking forward to it, very curious as to how it's going to be especially to have the opportunity and honour to perform in a historic occasion is very special to us." Read more When asked what the eisteddfod audience can expect from Il Divo, Urs explained: 'Some people expect a classical concert, which this is not, we've always been singing pop songs. "It is classical crossover, so it's kind of its own thing. It's not a pop concert, where a band just gets up and plays whatever. I like to compare it to a recital. "Our repertoire goes all the way across the pop music, we intend to move the audience. We intend to create emotion, passion, romance, heart, love and that's what we want to transmit and you get an evening of that and hopefully everyone walks out with a big smile."

My pick for Rangers job is the cosmopolitan option and I can't believe the cheek of Dave King's suggestion

Dave King was acting like someone who had sold his house yet reserved the right to tell the buyer how to decorate the property Dave King's public push for Steven Gerrard to be named Rangers manager was always a backward step based on shaky ground. And a bit of a cheek as well. ‌ The former Ibrox chairman was acting like someone who had sold his house yet reserved the right to tell the buyer how to decorate the property after he had left the building. ‌ In other words, the managerial search was none of his business. King sold his 13 per cent interest in Rangers to 49ers Enterprises to help facilitate their majority shareholding takeover of the club, which is now officially done and dusted. Andrew Cavenagh, the driving force behind the Californian conglomerate, was always going to be the man who would ultimately take the decision concerning the hiring of a new manager. ‌ And he was never going to listen to, far less comply with, outside influences. Cavenagh is, with his feet now firmly under the table in the Blue Room, manoeuvring Rangers towards the door marked '21st Century' and former actors in the Ibrox melodrama, which has lasted since administration became liquidation in 2011, must now leave the stage and take the past with them. An American-owned club playing in Scotland could now be managed by one of two Italians, Davide Ancelotti or Francesco Farioli. ‌ Former Scotland star Russell Martin, late of Southampton, relegation and removal from his post, may also be in the frame for the job. I've got even less to do with what happens next than King. But I'd go for cosmopolitan Ancelotti, whose coaching career as assistant to his father Carlo has turned him into a European sophisticate after working at Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Everton and Napoli. ‌ Rangers' squad is such a cultural melting pot they started 2025 by beating Celtic with players of 11 different nationalities. Ancelotti and the club's new owners would add to the intercontinental mix. ‌ A futuristic business opportunity has landed at Rangers' feet and given them the chance to leave the parochial world behind. King, in the midst of his support for Gerrard's candidacy, said the 'Glasgow thing' had to be a key factor regarding the election of a new manager at Ibrox. 'You can't really explain it until you live through it,' Dave said. ‌ Well, having lived nowhere else but Glasgow for the last 75 years, and spent 40 of those years speaking to radio callers who embraced the unique aspects of the football environment in the city, I beg to differ. And I cite the club across the road on the other side of the city as the basis for my contradiction of King's philosophy. When Fergus McCann crossed the Atlantic to take control of Celtic in 1994, and save the club from collapse, he appointed Tommy Burns as manager and the pair immediately fell into conflict. ‌ Tommy was word perfect when it came to the 'Glasgow thing'. His sole interest from the outset was to stop Rangers from winning Nine-in-a-Row and thereby equalling the record originally set by Jock Stein on Celtic's behalf. Fergus disagreed. His target was to rebuild the club as a viable business and reconstruct the stadium as a modern-day edifice. He did so in the belief that Celtic would have a better future on a long-term basis as a result. ‌ Rangers eventually got the Nine but Celtic's trophy haul and financial growth over the last 30 years entitles McCann to be viewed as a visionary. Gerrard stopped Celtic from winning 10-in-a-Row in 2021 during his time at Ibrox. The 'Glasgow thing' dictates such an achievement bestows immortality on the creator. Ironically, the 'Glasgow thing' has now caused Gerrard to withdraw his name from the list of prospective managers at Ibrox because his wife Alex has no interest in swapping Bahrain for Bearsden, or anywhere else in the city. ‌ That doesn't mean the eventual appointee will be getting the job at Ibrox by default. Gerrard's track record since leaving Rangers, 17 wins from 40 games at Aston Villa and five wins from 17 matches at Al-Ettifaq, didn't make him the outstanding candidate. Martin, while trying hard not to be disrespectful, might be the one who got the job if the Celtic fans were allowed a vote. ‌ Farioli is, apparently, a graduate in philosophy, which doesn't move him up the queue either. He's only available because his Ajax side blew a nine-point lead in the Dutch title race and let PSV Eindhoven win the league, creating his resignation. What Rangers need isn't a handle on the 'Glasgow thing'. ‌ They need a winning mentality, long missing from their make-up, and Ancelotti brings that from his time at top clubs in Europe. Talk of him being his dad's boy is insulting on the basis that his father would have been the first one to bin him if he wasn't good at his job. Ancelotti Jr can translate talent into trophies and articulate his playing philosophy for those he's working with, as his track record suggests. And, as they say in Glasgow, that's all that matters, by the way.
