Life on Mars

He did those...

He did two of the better episodes of Life on Mars as well, didn't he? And that must have been just before this or around about this time too.

2006-ish, Life on Mars?

Probably six and seven, right?

Yeah.

right, let me try and convince you that it wasn't better in 2006.

OK, on the upside, Life on Mars starred on BBC One.

Loved that show.

Really, really good.

OK, can I instantly make an objection? Life on Mars was the first time I felt old.

Oh,

because that

That's what made me watch the other one.

I never watched the British version of Life on Mars.

Did you watch the American version?

Yeah, I think I borrowed it from you.

I like that one a lot.

That was right around the time of Dead Like Me.

mm-hmm yeah 2008 2009 same as uh another show that we're talking about the uh life on mars

oh okay life on mars was before that

In a way, people go places in crime novels, and this is just where she goes, the past.

And when I was sort of thinking of this series, and I'd had it in my head for a long time that I wanted to write about a time-travelling detective, And I kept thinking about that TV show, Life on Mars.

And I don't know about you, but I can't remember why they travelled in time.

And I know there is an explanation at the end.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, he was in Life on Mars, apparently.

Yeah.

And

...

Life on Mars.

No, Ashes to Ashes.

Yeah.

Am I here or am I not? Uh, because I would argue that I'm not, and I think I'm, uh, more than qualified to, uh, talk about the issue.

Although having recently been watching the show Life on Mars, a UK version, I'm beginning to doubt that now.

Uh, we'll see.

Uh, I've been reading ahead.
