Life on Mars - Complete BBC Series 1-2 (New Packaging) [DVD]

Product Information

A reluctant respect and camaraderie forms between the two, and the friendship is actually the best selling point of Life on Mars.

In contrast, Series 1 has commentary on every episode, a few more featurettes, and everyone’s favorite, a gag reel (though not as funny as I expected it would be).

The 4-disc set holds all 17 episodes with, and this is both expected and essential, all that pre-recorded music retained. Behind the Scenes of Episode 7 lasts 3½ minutes and offers a director (SJ Jackson) voiceover for the behind the scenes look at the courtroom scene.I think Life on Mars was the last watercooler show that was made in the UK, the last TV show that felt as if the whole country was talking about it the day after each new episode aired. The two express admiration for one another's shows while pop-up facts add another layer of information and fun.

The original Life on Mars was produced in 2006 and 2007, and it starred John Simm (recently seen playing "The Master" in Dr. The corny final one has Sam receiving a postcard from some kind of wizard postman, if for no other reason than to conjure an image from Bowie's "Life on Mars. Working for 14 hours on the show's final episode, O'Mara is made up, beats up a stuntman, and gets shot (with plastic) doing his own stunt. Such a good gimmick, in fact, that American TV went for a remake with Jason O'Mara and the original Bad Lieutenant Harvey Keitel (but not good enough; the ABC series wasn't renewed).All of these factors point to the British style of short seasons executed in full, a model that would have helped a series like this.
