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.
