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!

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 ...

You know him as the wooden action hero of a dozen dodgy movies.

Or perhaps as the bloated bluesman who played Bilston some years back.

But martial arts movie star Steven Seagal is a cop for REAL.

And a new reality show takes you out on patrol with him.

It's on the Crime & Investigation channel (Sky 553 or Virgin 237) from 8pm on Tuesday.

Here's a sneak peek ...

For almost 20 years, Seagal has been working as a fully commissioned deputy with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana.

In addition to going out on patrol, Seagal is an expert marksman who has worked with their SWAT team and has instructed Jefferson Parish officers in firearms and hand-to-hand combat.

Steven Seagal Lawman allows fans to ride shotgun as he and his hand-selected elite team of deputies respond to crimes in progress.

Then, when Seagal goes off duty, the cameras follow his many ventures, including musical performances and philanthropic efforts in Jefferson Parish and New Orleans.

Fancy a sneak peek at the final season of Lost - before anyone else?

Then head for show-maker ABC's Message In A Bottle sweepstake.

Eight hundred and fifteen winners (well, it was Oceanic Flight 815 remember) will each scoop a Message In A Bottle, containing a USB drive.

Plug it in and you'll see five minutes of the season five finale, and about the same of the season six premiere ahead of its February 2 broadcast.

The questions are easy, and even if you miss one, you can go back and do it again.

Entry into the sweepstake ends on January 17, 2010 and the random draw will be held on January 18, 2010.

The 815 winners will receive a Lost bottle containing a USB port that resembles Desmond's failsafe key - certain to be a real collector's item.

Let me know if you're a winner!

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

Come back Chris Eccleston...

At the risk of being branded a heretic, be honest - aren't you just a little tired of Tennant?

Yes, he's been the best-ever Dr Who (although Chris Eccleston ran him damn close).

And yes, I'll be tuning in on New Year's Day to watch The End Of Time unfold.

But I could have done without the Wall-to-Wall Davidmas.

He was on QI (where he was quiet but amusing at times).

He was on Never Mind The Buzzcocks (where he was funny).

He was on BBC breakfast (by the numbers).

He was reading CBeebies Christmas stories (missed that one).

He was on the BBC Christmas station ident (genius!)

He was on Catherine Tate's Nan Christmas specials (predictable)

He's on Alan Carr's chat show (not seen that one yet)

He's on three radio shows including Desert Island Discs (what's a radio?)

He was in Hamlet (good but not as breathtaking as the stage production)

And, oh yes, he was in something called Dr Who.

Speaking of the latter, am I the only person to think that it didn't live up to the hype?

I hated the epic voiceover, the golden oldies in the bus and the Exorcist head-spinning.

Thank God for Bernard Cribbins, whose coffee shot chat with the Doctor stole the show!

Get rid of Tennant now. Send him on holiday.

So we were right.

Back in the mists of time we predicted that Ros Myers would be the next Spook to die.

And although our pals at Telly Talk hope she survived the blast that ripped through the hotel as she tried to drag the Home Secretary to safety, we're not so optimistic.

She was getting too big for her boots, and the Home Secretary was too Tony Blair-like for comfort. Good riddance to them both.

We await the arrival of John Simm, once he's finished trying to enslave the world in the Dr Who New Year's Day special.
