A much-loved TV series that had viewers hooked worldwide in the 00s has finally made its way to Netflix - and on a rather spooky date at that. Lost, which first aired in 2004, introduced us to a host of beloved characters, including Jack (portrayed by Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway).

They were 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42, which are used by the character Hurley (Jorge Garcia) in the lottery before he hits the jackpot.

The entire series is now available for binge-watching on the streaming platform, with all episodes released on A.
