Life On Mars - Series 2 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Life on Mars was definitely my favourite TV programme and probably still is. Series one was fantastic and series two simply picked up from where it left off ********NB: I apologise now if you feel I have included too many quotes, I just wanted to highlight how good I feel the show is.******** Life on Mars tells the story of Sam Tyler, a police officer, who after being hit by a car woke up in 1973. He constantly questions his own sanity and at the ...
...the title track David Bowie's Life On Mars. All of the songs are authentic to the period and combined with the costumes, hairstyles, buildings and mannerisms of the show the feeling that you are in the 1970's is always prominent (and I wasn't even born then). The show itself is very well written and filmed. It is comical and satirical but also manages to hit the nail on the head on more than one occasion. The best thing however about this comedy ...

Review of Life On Mars - Series 2 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

...two episodes a night-I live life on the edge as you can tell!).Life On Mars:Series Two was released on dvd in April 2007, but if you are like me and have been living under a rock and not heard of this show, or simply watched it on BBC2 previously but want to watch it over and over (which no doubt I will be),then you can't do any worse than buying this and the first series. Series Two~ Series one is about Sam Tyler, a detective who after a near fatal ...
...Sam Tyler literally where the first series ended; still playing good cop/ bad cop with partner(in crime) Gene Hunt. All the usual gang are back but this time Annie plays a more prominent role having been promoted but still get's treated bad because she's a "bird". The sexual tension between Annie and Sam is more intense this series and has you screaming 'Kiss her' nearly every episode! The Plot~ With series one I liked the fact that most of the way ...

...1973 as he fears his life support system is being fiddled with in 2006. Fearing it is the same man in both eras he failed to out about in the twenty first century, Sam goes to any length in order to stop them. Best quote - 'Good work Raymondo, I'm bumping you back up to DS...this time it will stand for Detective Sergeant instead of Dog S***!' (Gene Hunt). Marks out of 10: 9 - a brilliant way to get us back into the swing 1973 style! Episode 2 - ...
...but in his new retro life style, can he convince his colleagues that the IRA were not responsible? Best quote - 'It's not about impressing anybody, you moron!' (Sam Tyler to Ray Carling) Marks out of 10: 8.5 - another solid episode, helping to progress the plot in both centuries. Episode 4 - Sam and Annie, posing as Tony and Cherie Blair, are soon thrusted into the under cover lifestyle once again, trying to catch a killer at his own game at a ...

The second series of Life on Mars continues Sam Tyler's journey that began in the first series. If you haven't seen the first series then this set won't make complete sense to you, though I think series two could stand alone as the first was fairly self-contained and had its own overal story to tell. Series Two is a little more arc orientated, being the last series, and every episode takes the story another step towards its conclusion. So to the ...
...setting. The essence of Life on Mars is that of a traditional cop show. Series Two dives straight into the story, and the credits sequence gives a quick rundown of what the series is about. In 2006 Sam Tyler is a rather excellent policeman. He is struck down by a car and wakes up in 1973. Sam's monologue at the start of the titles sequence gives us the core questions that drives the series. Has he really traveled back in time? Is he in a coma? Or ...

I was fortunate enough to watch both series of this programme all in one go. I had no intention of doing so but story line is just so gripping that you are instantly caught in a web of intregue from the main charactor Sam. In the first series (this is a reveiw of the second afterall) We know that Sam, a DCI from the 21st century, is hit by a car and stuck in a coma. But whilst in this coma ends up in 1973. Is he in this coma? Is it really 1973? or ...
...where the first left off with Sam still trying to figure out what is real and what is not. The series takes some incredible twists and turns untill.......Well, im not gonna give anything away. Incredable writting, immense acting, and a great soundtrack. Almost makes you want to be in the 1970's. ...
