The 10pm episode on BBC4 is a repeat :(

Re: life on mars
 

Not bad !!!!!
The Sweet with Hellraiser :tu: A Trimphone, Parker Coats.....the storyline wasn't bad either.

Why have I got this urge to go out and buy a Cortina Mark III ? :)

Yep :(

Re: life on mars
 

was there ever a 'performance' version of the Mk3 Cortina? ;)

I've had a Mk2 & a Mk4, Cortina, btw - the mk4 was definitely bought at night, but did cruise fast, ;)

Re: life on mars
 

Was a great episode last night. Can't wait to see how it develops towards the end of the series.

Re: life on mars
 

My dad had a Cortina Crusader, Y-reg from new. Wonderful car. Colour was a bit naff though, sort of turqoise-y

shame BBC4 showed the wrong episode though :(

Re: life on mars
 

BBC4 have stopped showing the first look episodes and are now showing the previous weeks BBC1 episode in case people miss it.

Re: life on mars
 

I've enjoyed the whole series of LoM... (it's filmed in my hometown, the town hall is the outside of the police station :D)
I'm gonna wait until the box set of both series comes out towards the end of the year and I'm gonna watch it all again and again :D

(some of the locations in series 1 are fairly local to me.. no, I'm not gonna start offering LoM tours...!!!) ;)

Surprised that no nerd has picked up on this... ;) :D

Was he not transported back to 1973?

Re: life on mars
 

Yes, but models are built and sold in advance...

I.E the 1974 model would have been on sale from 1st August 1973

Re: life on mars
 

I wish I could afford it.

It would be great to own that car.

Re: life on mars
 

There are some anachronisms, including the car, on the Wikipedia page...

What's interesting though, is it mentions a spin off to be called Ashes to Ashes set in 1981. Anyone know any more about this?

Re: life on mars
 

Hi yes, if it does go ahead Ahes to Ashes will be set in the 80's and star Phil Glenister as Gene Hunt.

Re: life on mars
 

Its a shame they are ending it... I think the concept has more mileage. For example, you can also have a hotshot doctor go back to victorian-era and diagnose/treat people House-esque, using victorian tools.

I love the alias names they are using while undercover :D
