Here it is - everything you need to know about Lost in 10 minutes.

The Reduced Shakespeare Company, best known for its concise classics, presents all five series of the show in, yes, 10 minutes.

Our clip is introduced by Lost masterminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.

So get a coffee, a 15-minute window, sit back and enjoy!

Actress Gina Bellman was born in New Zealand.

The 43-year-old rose to fame in Dennis Potter's drama Blackeyes, and also starred in Coupling, Jekyll and the hit American drama series Leverage, which can be seen on the Bravo channel, which airs Wednesdays at 9pm.
Gina, who has a 10-week-old daughter, divides her time between west London and Portland, Oregon.

Those who pondered ending our lives when Battlestar Galactica came to an end now have a reason to carry on.

The prequel series Caprica starts airing on Sky One this Tuesday in the UK.

Having already managed to grab a gander at the elongated pilot I can tell ya that it's top stuff.

And there's something for Buffy/Angel fans hiding in one of the trailers.

The hype is starting to ramp up ahead of the new - and last - season of everyone's favourite mind-bender.

Here Hurley, Sawyer and Kate answer some fan questions.

In MY opinion. This should never have been allowed. I said the same about Battlestar Galactica - they did that well though I hear.

Wrong, all wrong.

Christmas is over. We're well into January. What this actually means, finally, is some decent telly. But forget the return of 24 and Lost, for my money the most unmissable US show of the next few weeks is Leverage.

Following a team of thieves, hackers and grifters who seek revenge against those who use power and wealth to victimize people, Leverage starts on Bravo tomorrow (January 20).

Oscar-winner Tim Hutton takes the lead, as former insurance investigator Nate whose son died as a result of corporate greed. He now puts his energy and intelligence towards securing justice for society's underdogs, having teamed up with a bunch of criminals who - it turns out - have their own code of ethics, including a martial arts expert (Angel's Christian Kane) and a grifter played by Hustle's Gina Bellman. In a lot of ways Leverage owes a lot to Hustle, mixed with a smattering of The A Team and a pop culture reference-laden script zinging with one liners and great chemistry between the ensemble cast. In tone it is the best Joss Whedon show Joss Whedon never wrote. Although there aren't any vampires, spaceships or singing. Yet.

Laugh-out-loud funny in places and with conspiracies fun enough to unravel this is unashamedly fluff, but well-written, well-made fun fluff and arguably one of the best things you'll see on telly this January (you're watching Being Human already, right?).

Plus, the writers of Leverage are unashamed geeks, and manage to shoehorn in random little nods - watch out for an early episode where resident hacker Hardison books the rest of the team on a flight using aliases including Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy and Tom Baker - which means nowt to most US viewers but amused me lots, particularly since it was never addressed in the script.

If you want to brighten the grey days of early January, then get Leverage. There's nothing better, promise - no matter what the Lost lovers on here might suggest.

* Leverage series one starts on January 20 on Bravo

While Ginger-gate still rages on in the Doctor Who community, David Tennant's tenure as (not quite) the last of the time lords has been recognised by sci-fi watchers. They have voted him best actor in the inaugural Total Sci-Fi Awards 2009.

Winner David Tennant in his seasonal swansong The End of Time

Heroes is back for a new season on the Beeb.

But don't expect the edge of the seat antics that closed the last series.

The new episodes have attracted a record low viewing audience in the States.

And word is that unless Heroes improves, it could be ditched.

A double episode at 10.10pm tonight on BBC2 finds Sylar having an identity crisis in Nathan's body, Claire meeting an old pal with a secret, and the arrival of a sinister travelling carnival troupe.

And the leader of the freak show is Robert Knepper - best known to you all as Theodore T-Bag Bagwell from Prison Break.

Be warned that T-Bag's players will play a big role in Sylar's future ...

So, did the earth move for you?

David Tennant's Dr Who swansong was so heavily hyped, it was never going to live up to expectation.

But did any of us expect it to be such a mixed bag?

The whole End Of Time story about the Master transforming the human race into the 'Master Race' in his own image was twaddle.

And the head-shaking special effects were just silly.

Having endured the depressing first half (saved only by the poignant cuppa chat between Tennant and Cribbins) I sat down to second helping on New Year's Day.

And it went from bad to worse.

Read on and weep ...

Be warned, He says "Geronimo!" whenever he gets excited ...

Come back Chris Eccleston...
