'Lost's Andrews praises flashforwards

Lost star Naveen Andrews has hailed the impact of the show's use of flashforwards during the fourth season.

The English actor, who plays Iraqi torturer Sayid, told Digital Spy: "It was a bonus... it's a challenge to be able to play a character in the present and then zoom ahead to a point when they may have undergone great changes.

"I felt in season four, Sayid was spiritually dead [in the future], and something awful happened to his soul. To be able to play that and then go back to the island, where he's still quite active in life, was good."

However, Andrews added that he is told "absolutely f**k all" about the predicament of his character before filming the flashforwards.
