Indeed - LMAO at that one. :D

Although, I'd never laughed so much as I did when they did the little 'Trumpton' style intro the other week. :rofl:

Re: life on mars
 

'You are surrounded by armed b*stards!' :D

Agree on the intro...

'Listen, you. I can just about handle you, driving like a p*ssed-up crack-head, and treating women like bean-bags, but I'm going to say this once, and once only: stay out of Camberwick Green!' :)

Take that as bad then you've conformed to the PC brigade. What was right in those day was right, you shouldn't or can't question them now. Just that fact you now think it's a little close to the bone and that you can't take it in context means just that. I say you because of the way you mentioned it 'leeeeetle', it was emphasized which 'could' mean you object.

In fact I'd rather be back in that era than the big bro, pc, lemming/sheep society of today.

"Blacks, they all look the same" sounds sooo bad today, but was soo right then, it just not out of context of those times.

Am I now a racist?? :rolleyes: lol.

The series was pure class and well done BBC for letting it go out on a high.

Re: life on mars
 

Utter, utter, utter class. I challenge any American re-make to end as deliciously ambiguous as that did.

Re: life on mars
 

What an anticlimax :(

Re: life on mars
 

Absolutely excellent, but I suspect my head hurts more than Sam Tyler's now :erm:

Re: life on mars
 

You have got to be kidding! This was a piece of classic TV, and you were there to see it! We'll be arguing about what the ending meant in the pub for decades!

Re: life on mars
 

And what's the point of that? Why not give us an ending which would really have thrown the cat amongst the pigeons by getting the modern-day Tyler meeting up with his aged 70's colleagues?

Re: life on mars
 

brilliant, loved it, the series has been a class above - and they all live happily ever after ;)

Re: life on mars
 

they should have ended the series when he jumped off the roof, the ending was tacky.

Re: life on mars
 

Just about to settle down & watch it. (Recorded it). The one liners are brilliant, the "tyranny's fanny" one was superb. There was one about "As much use as Liberace`s cock" something or other, wish I could remember it, laughed my ar*e off.

Re: life on mars
 

Well, apart from Ray, whose new missus turns out to be a raging feminist, and rips his danglers off after about 5 minutes :D

Top class TV - absolute classic. I loved the bit at the end:

Sam: You shouldn't be driving.
Gene: Well, I am... (you just know he's thinking 'sod off, you nancy' :D )

But that would have left us with even more questions. No way was that tacky - by leaving it ambiguous, it actually makes us think about it. Bit of a shock for this day and age...
