I prefer LoM to Ashes to Ashes both are amazing and possibly one of the best series’ I’ve ever seen. However for me being from Manchester, I feel LoM perfectly captures Greater Manchester specifically East Manchester Amazingly.

Is there a collective name for the universe LoM and A2A are set in? Like Doctor Who is referred to as the Whoniverse.

The Huntverse? The Bowieverse?

Does anyone know where 'Fairfield Street Depot' train station is from Series 2 episode 8?

I saw a couple of posts about the live table read for the canceled pilot series, however I can’t find any transcripts or overview.

Does anyone have an overview of the pilot that they can share? I’m just interested in a how the series would have been laid out.

I have never been to Manchester for more than a few hours before. I’m staying soon for around a week and I would like to visit a couple of places from the show. I don’t really have anywhere particular in mind, so suggestions welcome.
That being said, I guess I would prefer places which wouldn’t be miles out of the way and then having nothing else nearby. And places I can actually go inside when I’m there would be a bonus (like if any of the pubs from the show are still operating).
Also maybe the nightclub? Or any of the reoccurring residential locations. Basically anywhere in the show that I would recognise because it was iconic or was featured a few times.

Become a bit of a meme this......

Funnily enough I married a ginger bird and yes....... It is

Hello everyone. Very happy to join this thread as I love Life on Mars. I was hoping someone here could help me. I have a vivid memory of the scene in episode one where we are introduced to Nelson being different to what we see when watching on Iplayer or dvd etc. I have a funny feeling that it will be something they have cut out as it might be seen as offensive or something like that. If anyone could tell me what the original scene is I would be eternally grateful. 🙏

Many thanks in advance for anyone who reads this. Kind regards, Red

Now I know there's no way they OFFICIALLY can co-exist, being created across different sides of the globe on different networks. But being a fan of both franchises I can't help but notice a massive similarity in the lore for both shows and their endings.

The final season of Lost features an "alternate" timeline that's revealed to be the main cast's afterlife/purgatory. All of whom are living in this timeless space, unaware of their own deaths, coming to the realisation and acceptinf shortcomings of their own lives. Both shows end with their casts being welcomed into a white light by an otherworldly figure. Nelson at the Railway Arms and Christian Sheppard at the Church.

The concept of an afterlife is treated exactly the same by both franchises. The only real difference being that LoM/Ata characters never knew each other in life, as opposed to the characters from Lost all being united. But it doesn't seem too far fetched that their are multiple purgatorys for people depending on how they lived their lives.

Thoughts?

Did I imagine that this show was about a guy who is in a simulation provided for him while in some kind of stasis on board an actual rocket to Mars. The simulation messes up somehow and puts him into 1973. For some reason I've always thought this was the plot. Mandela effect?

Browsing through PlutoTV tonight and Ashes to Ashes is on the Britbox Mysteries channel. It’s not available on demand, just live, but a great free way to watch it if you’re in the US!

I'm visiting different locations from the show at the moment. Does anybody know where this scene was filmed?

Why does Gene Hunt's hair style almost change from scene to scene in episode one? My theory is that there was an unseen pilot and some scenes from the pilot were used in the broadcast version.

Never really thought about it from this perspective before, as a fan we obviously want to see as much of Gene Hunt as we can, but this makes sense.

Now I've gone back and watched Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes, I've got a question I can't manage to answer for myself. All the characters beside Gene seem to have families, which isn't all that unusual as they could be memories and what not, but certain characters seem to have interactions with their families, despite this being a different plane of existence. To explain what I mean a bit further, Chis mentions in an episode that his mum uses a certain soap, and he thinks it smells like pilchards. So like, this could be a passing memory, but Shaz is very different. She has Chris tape things off the telly for her mum, and even mentions having conversations with her. The idea of background characters having families is explored through Jackie Queen having a niece and being pregnant, but for the main cast it seems... I can't wrap my head around it. If they're all actually dead, how do they have families that exist in the same world as them? Any theories? Anyone have the same thought?

Hi I'm looking for the episode where they ask Chris to go to the cells because they look a bit empty and want to impress someone coming for inspection.

I've been looking for ages and can't find it, surprisingly hard considering there are only 24 episodes 😭😭

Just curious
