Default Heads up...Life on Mars is back tonight 9pm

Awesome, best TV programme for years, and what a change someone has actually spent some money on production rather than trotting out some c-list celebs for yet another celebrity <insert 1001 different lame assed name>.

its 1973 and I'm havin' hoops!

First time I've watched that. I thoroughly enjoyed it but would appreciate a bit of back ground from someone please. Got the basic bones of if but wish I had seen it from the beginning

First time for me too. I had a Cortina just like that, although it was the XL version, awful car.

Good viewing.

Hmmmm.... getting a tad jaded. Needs some new inspirational twists to keep it fresh. Don't you think there's a bit of overacting going on too ?

Could have watched part 2 on BBC4 after. It is quite a bit better IMO.

I thought it was wicked. You just want Annie and Sam to get it on, don't you? Wonder if they ever do?

I definately felt this was an introductory episode to those that didn't watch the 1st series. It was OK but I hope it gets better.

Did anyone else notice the Three Degrees' 1974 hit "Year of Decision" playing in 1973?

No, I thought not!

That had me in stitches last night

Gene Hunt kicks doors down not picks fairy locks. I'll be the laughing stock at the Lancashire something or other.

Last nights was superb!

By why o why does Sam have a friggin allegro, probably one of the worst cars ever made, shameful in 73 and even worse now, at least the old GXL has some class.
