Life on Mars Returns

BBC – Press Office => Life On Mars press pack

John Simm is back for the final time as DI Sam Tyler, the time-travelling detective who, following a car accident, found himself back in 1973, as the International Emmy Award-winning series Life On Mars returns to BBC One.

Here’s a show I don’t think I mentioned last year, but really I should have. Life on Mars was a truly amazing police put out by the BBC.

The show will be starting again for the conclusion this month. I can hardly wait.

The recreation of the early 1970′s is richly textured and completely believable. It does harken back to a time before the great western societal homogenization had reached the advanced state it is in today. Looking at 1970′s Manchester makes me think of 1960′s America. I wonder if it was really like that?

Some American company has purchased the rights to a US-based remake: Crap, another travesty on the way to our screens.

Maxentius’ Roman treasure discovered

UKTV History => Roman treasure discovered

The lost treasures of Emperor Maxentius have been found on the Palatine Hill in Rome 1,700 years after they were hidden.

Archaeologists in Rome have discovered the lost treasure of the last pre-Christian Roman emperor, Maxentius.

I was really rooting for Maxentius, Constantine really screwed the world over.
