About this deal

The series has a slight and (I'm guessing) deliberate grain look that aligns with the period setting without lessening the viewing experience. The series eventually attracted the attention of BBC Wales' Julie Gardner, who persuaded BBC Head of Drama Jane Tranter to commission the programme from BBC Wales for BBC One. Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Entertainment Magpie Limited t/a Music Magpie acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers, PayPal Credit is a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH.

Hunt is supported by his fiercely loyal subordinates, Chris Skelton and Ray Carling, with the latter portrayed as a character similar to Hunt. That was back when cops pounded the beat, and pounded the suspects to get to the bottom of crimes, visually and emotionally more engaging than the dry forensic analysis of 21st Century police shows.I was still in infant school when that decade ended, and I only remember the good things about the years of the seventies that I lived through, the Muppet Show on TV, hot summers, being carried on my dad’s shoulders, trips to the beach, innocent entertainment from people on telly who thirty years later would wind up accused, and in some cases convicted of sexual offences. Such a good gimmick, in fact, that American TV went for a remake with Jason O'Mara and the original Bad Lieutenant Harvey Keitel (but not good enough; the ABC series wasn't renewed).

In practice, it makes for a thumpingly enjoyable piece of television — not least because everybody involved was obviously having such a great time".Unsure if he's hallucinating in a coma, a time traveler or yet one more victim of Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge syndrome, the cop goes to work for a hard-nosed detective chief inspector, Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister), in his old precinct while trying to sort out his dilemma. Behind the Scenes of Tufty’s Cameo lasts 4 minutes, and offers some profane comments from Philip Glenister on his time in the squirrel costume.

Sam loses his whole being, and he is saddled with the same massive doubts that so intrigue us as viewers. And just when he thinks he's figured out why he's in 1973, we get a different and rather unsatisfying explanation that those enjoying the series up to this point may wish to discard.

The third thing isn’t format specific, but on home video release, some of the songs in the show were replaced. His background leads Sam into conflict, as other characters exhibit openly sexist, homophobic, and racist behaviour, and often indulge all these prejudices while carrying out their police duties.A federal agent investigates the precinct in the death of a fugitive criminal whose given reason for revenge. This features interviews with the cast and crew, and the odd look behind the scenes, as they follow the show from concept to screen, the influences on the show, and the character conflict that drives it. Life on Mars: The Complete Series is a combined repackaging of the earlier Series 1 and Series 2 sets released by Acorn; if you have those there’s no need to upgrade, but if you don’t, this has the whole show in one complete package. Thankfully, no one needs to bother with the knock-off, we've still got the original Life on Mars, and it gets the finish just right, making it sixteen hours of television worthy of the time you invest in it. The original version also was broadcast in Canada from September 2006 to April 2007 on BBC Canada, and from 8 January 2008 to 23 April 2008 on Télé-Québec in French and Showcase in English.
