Life on Mars

Is anyone here a Life on Mars fan? If you have never heard of it I shall supply a few clips for you to peruse. Personally it is the best program I have seen in a long time and I believe that (like the Office) it will be Americanised very soon too. Although again the original will always be the best:brit: As a brief intro to it for you Sam Tyler is cop who has an accident and wakes up in 1973 and the action begins. Great cars, Great music and not so great clothes-Enjoy.




DCI Gene Hunt = Greatest TV character ever? I think so

i missed the ending, tell me, what happens? did the dream end?

The last episode is on next Tuesday. He hasn't woken up yet but there are signs he might.

I missed last episode and I'm going to miss the final too (prays it will be repeated)

Great show by the way. The American version will suck.

I think it is a fantastic show, it reminds me of growing up in the 70's when everything seemed a lot simpler. You've got to love Gene Hunt, the DCI, he's a bastard but he gets the job done. Real coppers!

Does any one else find that they all smoke and live in the pub brilliant? Bollocks to that PC healthy crap just ave a pint and some OOOPPPS!!!

Life on mars is the best thing ever i watch it every time it is on
Hunt is the best and that is how coppers should act

"He moves like a spastic in a magnet factory"

BRILLIANT LINE

"Anything happens to this motor, I'll come around your houses and stamp on all your toys. Got it? Good kids." - DCI Gene Hunt

"He deserved to die. Fat Bastard"

Another Gene classic

"I'm Gene Hunt. Your DCI. And it's 1973. Nearly dinner time. I'm 'aving hoops" - DCI Gene Hunt

The story seems interesting but the accent somehow makes my stomach turns. No offence for Brits here by the way.

Isnt Life on Mars a David Bowie song? maybe they named the show after that.

Yes it is a Bowie song (and a damn fine song) but I doubt it was named after the song. It is more to do with the alien environment Sam Tyler finds himself in. I just found this site for those who are fans of Huntisms!

it was named after the bowie song.......

I love the camblewick green dream that Sam had 'is it that Gene Hunt? Is he beating a nonce again?'

brilliant

I reckon it is perhaps a combination of the two. Is he in a coma or has he actually traveled in time? I can't wait for Tuesday but I don't want it to end

series 1 was better, but 2 is still great.

there is the 3rd option that last week's episode set up - that he is in the right time and was sent up from London undercover to get Gene Hunt arrested - and the accident he had has given him amnesia

He keeps getting communication from doctors or someone? Remember the episode where they overdosed him and was ill because of it? I reckon he is in a coma.

or he could just be ill from the overdose, and the voices could just be the injuries

though he knows too much about the future for that to really fit........

could be a dream like Dallas!

(and there are now hundreds of confused people on this board (well dozens) wondering what the hell hoops are)

All we can do is wait and see! What I would put money on is the Yank version will be rubbish:brit:
