APOLOGIES in advance if you're not a Lost fan as none of this is going to make any sense.

But the return of the TV equivalent of Marmite - love it or hate it - last night on Sky One cannot be allowed to pass by without comment.

Not since Twin Peaks or perhaps The X-Files has a TV show aroused so much debate.

You suspect that even the writers (when they're not on strike) aren't quite sure what's going on.

So what's new to report.

Well, via the wonders of flash-forward we now know that Hurley - the only man to spend months on a desert island and put on weight - survived and is in a mental institution getting visits from a dead Charlie telling him to return.

I told you it wouldn't make sense. Meanwhile on the island it looks like the rescuers have arrived, but are they actually rescuers?

And - if you recorded the show and haven't watched it yet, don't read on - but was it really just me who spotted Jack's supposedly dead father sitting in Jacob's rocking chair?

We now know that six people got off the island - Kate, Jack and Hurley.

But really trying to delve too deeply into something like Lost is rather pointless.

You have to accept it for what it is, brilliant hokum, if hokum is your cup of tea.

And all you can really do after that is hope that it will make sense eventually.

After all there are only another 47 more episodes to go..
