Life on Mars - BBC 70s Action Series

[SAS]

Anyone been watching 'Life on Mars'? It's a series where a present day policeman is knocked down and placed into a coma. He finds himself back in the 1970s, still as a copper, struggling to awaken from his coma in the real world (he keeps hearing doctors talking about his response levels e.t.c) and trying to work out wtf is going on .

Quite a good show so far: http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/lifeonmars/

I've been enjoying it. Forgot it was Monday on Monday, so missed this weeks. I'll catch the repeat later in the week.

Apparently they've already commisoned a second series, so I guess he won't wake up at the end of this one

I'm wondering if he comes out of the coma slowly. He could jump to the 80s as he slowly heads back towards the present day? Then the 90s... Lots of possiblilities

I thought it was quite good. I had a 2000E Cortina mk 3 when I was a kid

Your a lier. No way you were only a kid in the 70's you old codger.

 

[Sar]

Lol.

I've been watching it too, very good. Just wish they'd do a proper 70's cop show like that nowadays, that didn't have to be explained off as a coma. None of this Political Correctness bullshit.

I had the 2000E in the eighties , OBVIOUSLY !!

It nearly bankrupted me from fuel costs as I recall

You'd have got better fuel consumption if you hadn't shot the tyres out

Threadnomancy, because I've just watched both series in the space of a few days.

Fucking ace. Who can forget quotes like "fast as a spastic in a magnet factory"

Best ending of any series, ever.

 

[throdgrain]

Yep, it was good In a way I mourn the seventies

 

[Tom]

I loved seeing all the back streets, cobbles, kids in flared jeans - exactly how I remember it Fucking around in smelly old lodges, hardly any cars anywhere, it was great.

I want to be in a coma

I heard there wasn't to be a second series, but that there was gonna be a spin off with the politically incorrect copper?

 

[leggy]

Yeah 'Ashes to Ashes' with DCI Hunt and some bird. Can't wait. Loved Life on Mars .

 

[Rubber Bullets]

Brilliant series, one of the best for a long time. The Camberwick Green opening to one of the later episodes was simply genius.

This is an interesting read. Looking forward to Ashes to Ashes.

I actually got into this when it ended, made me cry.

New series starts in 240 days, by the way. They're recording soon.
