Life on Mars

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Anyone been watching this on BBC 1?

I've watched all 3 so far, I think it's brilliant. It's exciting and it also highlights the different attitudes to policing between the 1970's and the 21st century. I think it's brilliant and also funny at times. I don't usually watch all these new dramas but I decided to give this a go and I love it.

Missed the first one after looking forward to seeing it, so didnt see the point watching the others!!

yup, I usually steer well clear of TV 'Dramas' but as this one was billed as a cross between The Sweeney and Back To The Future I thought I'd give it a go, plus I like John Simm ( as an actor before anyone starts ). Very enjoyable, with some wry humour thrown in.

Excellent - but then it is made by the same people who make Hustle and Spooks, and they are fantastic.

Good original idea - interesting to see how they try and get another series out of it...

I used to like him before I saw Human Traffic.

Utter pony.

I like 'The Lakes' though.

Plus all that great 70's music - Bowie, Free, Sweet etc.

Last night's was excellent. Can't wait for the 2nd series. Nothing better than some good old 70's football rioting.

Quality quote too:

Picks up the scarf on the dead man.
Tyler: "United"
DCI Gene Hunt: "Well, at least they had a decent motive."

Will they do a second series?, next weeks one seems to suggest they might be turning him off at the hospital.

Let's hope so Kenny - but I would also like to see another series of both Hustle and Spooks...

Hmm, you know what the Beeb's like, their dramas are normally good. Shame about the soaps.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Yes, they are doing a second series. Look HERE

 

[Bluesmanager]

A movie version? Bit iffy on that one...
