Watch "Life On Mars"
Titled after the David Bowie song of the same name, this is a great
time travel drama. I've just finished watching the first part, and I
think its safe to assume I'm going to be addicted for the next few
weeks. The plot revolves around a 2006 policeman who is transported
back in time to 1973 when he is run over by a car. He finds himself
wearing different clothes in a strange Manchester he has never seen
before. As well as coping with the new decade he now inhabits and the
sense of displacement he feels, he also is forced to deal with the
crimes of 33 years ago, using very primitive methods. A WPC tries to
help this fish out of water, but can he ever find his way back home
again? And what is with these strange voices in his head..? Sufficed to
say, we'll find out the answers soon enough, and I for one can't wait!
Oops sorry I forgot, Celebrity Big Brother and Soapstar Superstar are on the other channels.. and we all know which'll get the most viewers between this and them. "You'll never go broke appealing to the lowest common denominator" etc. But for those who are sick of cheap reality shows clogging up our schedules and want something with a bit more substance, you're in for a treat.. |
