Return to Mars

My favorite new show from last year returns February 13th at 9pm on BBC1.

Life on Mars
is a police drama, but not your run of the mill drama.

From the BBC press machine:
Sam Tyler (John Simm), a cool, sharp young detective, is working hard to keep the streets of 21st century Manchester safe from crime. But his world is turned upside down when the hunt for a serial killer becomes a personal vendetta after Maya (Archie Panjabi, The Constant Gardener), his girlfriend and colleague, goes missing. Desperately afraid she has been kidnapped by the killer, he sets out to find her, only to become involved in a near-fatal car accident. When he wakes, he finds himself in a different era - 1973. Is this reality, madness or a dream? Sam struggles to understand what is happening to him.


Thanks be to the internets.



If you haven't seen series one of Life On Mars, keep your eyes on BBC America, and hope they rerun it. I would expect a US DVD release is forthcoming, but nothing has been announced yet.



Yes, Thanks be to the internets for allowing us to watch the second, and unfortunately final series mere hours after it airs on Aunty Beeb.
