I would have thought this would have been right up your street.  Final series is looking good.

No, as in I was alive and kicking at the time these series are set and remember the 70s vividly. I remember Aztec Bars, Ford Granadas, Party Sevens, kipper ties, round shirt collars and being an opressed female.

As Life On Mars was initially set in 1973, that would have made me 3 going on 4!

i was about -4, so needless to say my memories of the time are a bit faded.

Still, Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes are some of the best TV ever!

never really watched either. how does L.O.M. compare to the US version, by the way? i'm hearing alot about how the yanks actually made a remake that was better than our original, for once.

Er, it bombed in the US as they weren't ready for that kind of retro telly.  Only lasted one season with a real cop out ending.  The British Life On Mars is far, far superior; much more sinister and mind-bending!  Plus, you have to look out for all the Wizard Of Oz parallels.
