Lots to see there, thanks :tu:

I did see a trailer for this the other day ... it's just the show's title doesn't easily connect with the idea of a copper sent back in time to 1973 (the year of my birth! :spin: )

I will definitely be tuning in.

BTW there is a handy video clip on that page that sets the scene nicely.

SFX has done a few odds and sods about it over the last couple of months - I thought it was going to be a full series, but I understand that it's just a 3-parter? Hopefully, it'll be a success, 'cos the premise sounds great :)

I have to agree that I can't really tie the title in with the idea - all I can think is that, to someone living in 2005 / 6, maybe life in the 70s would be like living on Mars :shrug:

'73 was the year Bowie released "Life on Mars" as the second single from Hunky Dory.

This is from the lyrics...

That's a theory from the Daily Mirror as to why it's called life on mars. :shrug:

The program looks like it could be good...

Re: life on mars

Re: life on mars
 

Yea I saw the trailer on xmas day while settling down to watch Dr Who. It does look really good and totally different.

Auto-tune reminder has been set. :)

Re: life on mars
 

Is it a series or a one-off drama?

I thought it was a series but my Sky+ box doesn't give it a series link option.

Re: life on mars
 

Supposed to be a series, but I was wondering the same thing, can't get my regular digibox to do a series link.

Definitely a series, in eight parts according to radiotimes.com. Dunno why the series link doesn't work. :confused:

Re: life on mars
 

I had Sky Installed last Wednesday, gonna try doing one of these and setting my PC to record it when the time is right, fingers crossed (I'm at work tonight).

Re: life on mars
 

I liked the music for the soundtrack :)

...and it wasn't bad either. :)

Thought it was pretty good! Will def be watching the rest of the episodes. C5 at 8 was pretty good too.....the building of the channel tunnel. I'd hate that tunnelling as a job!
