People should remember that Sky can be (and have been) beaten when bidding for programmes. Remember, they lost the first two series of Lost to Channel 4 and the only reason that they have 24 is because the BBC refused to pay as much as fox demanded for what it considered a minority programme. They were also beaten on Friends and (I believe) ER as well.
