The award-winning drama featuring the lives and loves of a group of Californian lesbian, bi and trans women, and has been a huge hit around the world.

"The L Word will culminate early next year in eight final episodes, marking the end of an era chronicling the lives of these iconic characters who have played a pivotal role in changing cultural perceptions of lesbians and the transgender community on and off screen," the show's producers said.

The winner will get a behind-the-scenes look at how one of television's hottest series gets filmed, meet some of the actors, tour the production facility, and eat lunch with the cast and crew. And they can bring a friend.

The auction, hosted by eBay.com, is currently up to US$1,025 (NZ$1,460). Bidding began yesterday and concludes next Wednesday.
