Includes bibliographical references.

This exemplar discusses how research into television fandom was conducted, with specific focus on how fans reacted to the ending of favourite television programmes. Since the research was focused on a range of different TV programmes, analysis of online postings offered a useful tool to access a broad range of respondents who were in different geographical locations and who were fans of different shows. The dataset details fan responses to the final episodes of favourite programmes 'Lost' - an American drama series incorporating aspects of the supernatural and sci-fi which ran from 2004 to 2010 - and 'The West Wing' - an American political drama series which ran from 1999 to 2006 - and includes postings from an online message board.
