Re: life on mars
As the DVD feature length is 470 minutes, I'd guess 3...

Re: life on mars
Correct, it's an eight-part series, part 5 aired on BBC1 on Tuesday ... although I've only seen part 4, I'm following it on BBC4 so I can see BSG on Sky One.

Re: life on mars
Ashes To Ashes
LIFE On Mars may be ending as we know it but there’s good news for fans of the hit TV drama set in 1973.
BBC1 bosses today confirmed they are developing a spin-off show – also to be named after a David Bowie song – which could be filmed in Manchester next year.
Ashes To Ashes is set in the 1980s and is due to feature some cast members from the original show

In December 2006, it was reported that the BBC had commissioned a Life on Mars spin-off series, to be titled Ashes to Ashes... Julie Gardner confirmed that the spin-off was to be produced during an interview for BBC Radio Wales in March 2007

Re: life on mars
It's about time we paid tribute to those little gems that helped make Life on Mars what it is - ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to post a list of your favourite Gene Huntisms. 
My recent favourite:
As genuine as a tranny's fanny
And one for further discussion - do we think that 'this investigation is moving at the speed of a spastic in a magnet factory' was perhaps a leeeeeetle too close to the bone, even given the 1970s context?

You can't have it both ways - why is it funny to take the mickey out of transsexuals, but not spastics?
A lot of it is very close to the bone, but that's how it was in the 70's and I for one am glad that todays overwhelming PC directive hasn't affected a brilliant bit of television.

A very good point. To what extent do we only laugh at the things we haven't been banned from laughing at?
I'm not sure they're quite the same in this case though. In the one case the metal leg braces are necessary medical intervention, in the other the surgery is elective ... however I don't want to get in to over-analyzing.
Another recent selection:
More fingers in pies than a leper on a cookery course
as nervous as a very small nun at a penguin shoot
