Yeah, I'd say so too. If the US do a good run of say 12 episodes by Christmas, there's a chance RTE could start in January (or more likely February), but the US took so many dodgy breaks last year, RTE will want to see a timetable from ABC in advance before launching something they'll risk having to take breaks on themselves.

Definitely won't be before Christmas unless RTE want to do a "Friends" on it by purposely taking breaks when the US are too close. (That'll probably be a dangerous thing to try on a show like this here.)

They do this with ER every year (start in November), but the Christmas break and more at Easter and a few sporting events means that it always runs quite neatly. I doubt Lost would be workable as effectively.

nubbintom · 27-09-2005 11:13am

i know thats what usually happens, they do it with ER, but did RTE not double up the eps so they could catch up with the US second series?

nome · 29-09-2005 5:26pm

just got this reply from rte bout series 2

Thank you for your query.

The series Lost has been very popular, and over the
last day or so we have received many enquiries
regarding series 2. The update is that RTÉ has secured
series 2, but it has not yet been scheduled. The
current plan by RTÉ Television is to show it next year
(2006) and there is no indication of the season.

Glad that you enjoyed the first series of Lost.
Your support of RTÉ is appreciated.
Kind Regards

mickymg2003 · 30-10-2005 6:26pm

Does Rte work with a kinda season thing where series nearly always start at the beginning of a season? Well if this is the case we could be waiting until june over
here because a lot of new series start then. Well i cant really say im botherd cos i seen up til ep. 5!!

Chumpski · 01-11-2005 2:42pm

Lost Season 1 on DVD released in two parts! What a joke. What do they think? We arent made of money...

I am so annoyed about this, why didnt they release the whole lot together in Ireland and other european countries who have finished the series? Screw any countries who havnt seen it all yet. Expecting us to pay EUR50.00 a piece for something in total that should be no more than EUR80.00 (in the more expensive shops at that price).

The worst thing is the wait. Its bad enough we wont get season 2 over here until sometime next year.

This is the biggest incentive yet for people to download the whole series 1 for free. When will these people cop themselves on?

monkeyfudge · 01-11-2005 2:44pm

Surely it's a bigger incentive to get yourself a multi region DVD player?

Mr E · 01-11-2005 2:47pm

I imagine that about 1-2 months after part 2 is released, a single box set with all episodes will appear. I'd just wait it out if I were you.

Chumpski · 01-11-2005 2:48pm

you are damn right. It is a big incentive to get one:D Theres one going for £25 on amazon.co.uk and i am seriously considering it. But %^&$, why should we have to wait for the whole thing here. That is a load of £$%^ in fairness.

Basq · 01-11-2005 2:49pm

To be honest.. i can't blame them for what they're doing!

Channel 4 have paid a lot to screen the 1st series... it is their fault they screened it so late thanks to Big Brother... but releasing the entire series before broadcast is as far as i know, unheard of!

And besides Region 2 is Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Egypt, South Africa and Greenland. 'Lost', as far as i know has completed it's run in most of these countries / continents.

The release of the 1st Series in 2 parts was to try and combat people from buying the full Region 1.

Just buy a Region 1 DVD and quit moaning!

Chumpski · 01-11-2005 2:51pm

Why not release it in 2 parts in the UK and places who havnt finished yet? Sorry for the moaning:D have to release the frustration somewhere...

Catsmokinpot · 01-11-2005 2:59pm

they are ripping us the fúck off! deal with it, i mean we should be used to it by now, rip off ireland!:rolleyes: im getting the american dvds anyway, god bless dvd region changers!

Elmo · 01-11-2005 3:51pm

Season Two will be starting early in the new year on RTE TWO, according to the Sunday Tribune.

Chumpski · 01-11-2005 3:53pm

Great stuff RTE. Might be on in january so, looking forward to it.

surfin · 01-11-2005 4:19pm

Hi,
I was lucky enough to see the first two episodes of season two, my cousin acquired them somehow, but point is i can give you a snoposise if you like, if not i wont ruin it for you, but it is good so far!

phileeoonskee · 01-11-2005 4:25pm

@ least RTE is getting on with it sharpish. But with this hiatus we could end up with big gaps between certain episodes.

Nah,most shows here start in January so that there won't be any breaks. There will be no need for breaks anyway,but you never know with RTE,they might just decide to have a few for poops and giggles.

Sleepy · 02-11-2005 11:51am

Region-specific DVD players can usually be unlocked by a code you enter through the remote control. I've come across a few sites offering these codes on-line and I'm sure a quick Google will turn them up.

It's possibly illegal to publish these codes but I can't imagine that it's actually illegal to use them, and given the way the studios are treating consumers, I think it's entirely justified.

Elmo · 02-11-2005 3:28pm

Generally speaking with the Big shows RTÉ doesn't take long breaks (Except for ER and CSI:Las Vegas (the best and orginal

).

If the run it like DH then their won't be any breaks.

Lets hope It does get tuesday night when RTÉ start showing champions league every second week from 2006. :mad:

That doesnt make any sense. Surely theres more incentive to buy it region 1 if its cheaper/all together.

It does make sense - most Irish people wouldn't be aware of the Region 1 release.

And if they saw the 1st Season Half DVD in their local record store.. they'd assume no different and buy it.

It's only under further research that they'd learn about the Region 1 set.

My brother made that mistake!

skywalker · 02-11-2005 4:34pm

You mean they'd buy it thinking it was the full season 1? Im not seeing the logic here.

No.. but most people would presume if only half of the season was released, it's their only option not realising the full season boxset released in the US.

PS - anybody get my drift?!

Niall123 · 02-11-2005 11:51pm

Why is it on the autumn schedule, is it cos they aquired the liecesne then. Should it not be on the Witer schedule?

Well anywho glad to see it come early.

techie_2006 · 03-11-2005 3:09am

I don't think I can wait till January.

...... Any advice for LOST withdrawals ?
