That wouldn't have thrown any cats anywhere. Virtually everyone has worked through that scenario in their heads or in forum threads like this one almost since the first series started. It would hardly have been an original ending.
They have ended it in such a way that it is going to be *extremely* difficult to explain it without leaving any loose ends. Honest, this is a classic. I predict the 'Life on Mars question' will become a modern TV phenomenon.
My thinking so far hinges on the DCI/Surgeon. Who was more believable as a 'real' person? DCI Frank Morgan or Mr Frank Morgan?
