Life on Mars

**jebus** · 06/03/2007, 9:52 PM

Anyone watch this show? Great to have a proper 70s style cop show back on TV, although it's odd that Auntie Beeb has commisioned something that at times is very, very un-PC. Really makes you wish you grew up back in the 70s, when men were men, aids didn't exist and you could cave a Leeds United fans face in with a claw hammer without the PC brigade getting their backs up about Leeds fans being human beings too

**Magicme** · 07/03/2007, 9:54 AM

Its bad when you have to hire actors to be your flatmates

**noby** · 07/03/2007, 10:52 AM

You employ people to act as your flatmates?

It's not a bad show. There seems to be more of the 'how did I get here' element creeping into it. It would have been braver, and possibly better, to just do a straight 70's cop show, and not using this coma/time travel/dream thing as the excuse. A seedier Heartbeat, if you will.

The point of the coma/ dream / time travel is relevant that he is bringing todays policing to the time. Maybe they'll do an episode where he can prove that the Birmingham Six and Guildford 4 were innocent, now that would be brave.

Its John Simm and he is even nicer in person - He drinks in my local from time to time

**Magicme** · 07/03/2007, 6:26 PM

Thats right! John Simm....hubba hubba....ok here's the plan.....next time you see him in the pub, hit him over the head and put him in a coma and bring him over here....we can share him and convince him he was always in a hippie commune!

Sounds like a plan

Few of the ones from teachers, brookside and the bill drink in there too. Seem fairly sound.
