    This is something I've noticed on some of the new shows out recently, namely Alcatraz and Death Valley, where instead of showing what's in the next episode, they show what's happening in the rest of that season. Has this always been the case?

    Off the top of my head Top Gear have done it for quite a few years and those awful American reality shows like meet the Kardashians.

    Can't say I remember a TV show like lost or prison break ever doing it.

    Can they do it without giving away spoilers ?

    I never liked those "next on" clips, I'm currently watching Strikeback: Project Dawn and they nearly give away 2/3rds of the episode when they show the clips. I have stopped watching them.

    Yeah never liked that. Soaps are the worst. Whole magazines about whats goign to happen. Why not watch and be surprised? Whats the point if you know who's going to die/get with who etc?

    Its even worse when they show you highlights from the previous show. Especially if they are showing a double bill.

    I noticed it most with Death Valley, where they show pretty much all the best bits from the coming series. Is this a new thing within the past year or so, or have there been more examples?

    They should all do "on the next episode of X" like they do on BBC's Luther, where they're interspliced with the end credits, so they realistically have 30 seconds or less. Enough to whet your appetite but not enough to spoil anything major.
