The coolest tv show on BBC is now finished. Last episode was shown last night. I always thought it was very original idea: bloke gets knocked over by car, wakes up in the year 1973. Is he mad? In a coma? Or in the past?
Good actors and characters. DCI Sam Tyler (John Simm) and DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister). I think everyone likes Gene Hunt. Tough no nonsense kick the shit out of someone attitude.
It's quite obvious sam dies towards the end. Getting back to present time/coming out of the coma. Then being pretty depressed and not fitting back into normal life. He jumps of the police building. Putting himself back in the coma, back in 1973. When he gets in the car with gene you can hear a sirens from the radio and a doctor saying "were loosing him". To make things more clear the little girl in the red dress that pops up every now and then appears and turns the tv off (tv off effect and then the screen goes black).
I love the car. The classic brown Ford Cortina MK III
Best quote of the whole show have go to be:
"Don’t move, you’re surrounded by armed bastards" ~ Gene Hunt
The sequel to Life on Mars is to be set in the 80's called Ashes to Ashes with Gene Hunt back! which begins filming in the summer.
