Fuck Yeah Life on Mars

Relating to the Emmy award-winning TV show Life on Mars (UK). And how the American remake is inferior to the original.

Due to lack of new Mars-Ashes canon, related shows will be posted: Mad Dogs, Case Histories (by Monastic Productions) and NBC's Awake (LOM-esque US show coming soon this fall). Jason Isaacs stars in the latter two.

Life on Mars 30 Day Challenge: Day 10

comedysuze:

Favourite guest star: Marc Warren who played Tony Crane in 2.1


In 1973 Crane runs a local casino and is Sam’s prime suspect for the killing of a man on a bus. Gene doesn’t believe Sam until Crane takes them both hostage. He is arrested after Annie uses a stinger on his car in a chase, but there is not enough evidence to charge him. However, when Crane starts to make accusations of Sam’s instability, citing the policeman’s belief that he is a time traveller, Sam turns the tables by using this as proof of Crane’s insanity. As a result Crane is committed to a psychiatric hospital, where he remains for the next 33 years.
