Given what was revealed at the end of Ashes to Ashes about Hunt and the fact we’re fast coming up 20 years since the start of Life on Mars.

Would a 3rd show work? Early/Mid 90s setting with someone from the mid 2020s?

Philip Glenister could return, although leaning into the same premise would be a little repetitive on a third show, maybe it could lean a little more into the fantastical elements?

OK, big spoiler ahead... I read in the imdb trivia that the producers wanted to end the series with >!Sam committing suicide!<, but that BBC didn't want to. However, that's what I saw when watching it on Britbox. Is there an alternate ending?

I really wanna do a rock and roll au so what person would have what Instrument?

Just watching Ashes to Ashes and the scenes with Alex and her mum make me cringe so much I don’t know what it is 😂. I understand why she’s like that and I don’t think the scenes are bad just awkward (as intended). Same goes for life on mars

What's next if I see more these characters what happened with the third show?

Just making a post because I’m rewatching both series just finished life on mars and started Ashes to Ashes, and got the soundtrack is incredible. Don’t get me wrong the life on mars one is great too but Ashes to Ashes makes me feel like I’m in 1981 I’m only 2 episodes in and I can’t get over how good it is. I didn’t appreciate it properly on my first watch.

Just wondering why they all forgave him after he betrayed them?

If Sam didn't die in ashes to ashes how old would he be?

Not watched either show in ages but would you say that Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt were besties before Sam Tyler went into the pub?

Hello all. First time watcher. Just finished season 1.

I am a bit gobsmacked that Sam just let his Dad off the hook. The man was a double murderer, a gangster, a pornographer and would have also kicked Annie to death as well as shooting Sam himself. He was manipulative and dangerous and Sam just let him go because he's his father?

Doesn't this make Sam as corrupt as any of them in 73? Even worse maybe with his sancimonious, holier than thou attitude. Man's a complete hyporcrite.

Just started season 2 and it all seems to have been brushed under the carpet. Is the issue addressed at all because I've lost all sympathy for him and am not sure I even want to finish the series?

English is not my first language so I'm a little lost

I don't get the spastic in a magnet factory one or the chunky kitkat one

Is this new? Currently on BBC4, Philip Glenister and Matthew Graham "remember Life On Mars".

What would be Chris's aesthetic?

I finished Ashes to Ashes (and loved it) and have some questions about the timeline.

1. Is there only one purgatory and all the killed police officers in the world are in it or is it just for a few people with different and separate purgatorys?
2. If so, who are the civilians? Did they also get killed or are they just not real?
3. You can age in the timeline, so what happens when you die in purgatory?
4. If the timeline is single and fixed,are people from the past and the futures sent there? (E.g someone from the 2000s going back to the 80s or someone from the 1930s also going to the eighties) Or can you only go back in time?
5. Do you have any theories about what year Shaz, Chris and Ray died?

Sorry if this seems like alot. Thank you!

Did he forget that none of it was real?

Would anyone be actually interested in donating our own money to the cause of the production of Lazarus?

I was looking around on the BBC Life on Mars web page from 2007 on the Wayback Machine, and in the videos page I found a link titled "Watch John Simm's Life On Mars Video diary." The link just took me to a 404 Not Found page, and I was wondering if anyone on here has the video?
