Life On Mars - all done then
It's been a full 30 minutes since the last-ever 'Life On Mars' finished. How was it for you? Are we happy with that? I think I am. It was as good an hour of TV as I've seen for some time, but it's taking some time to sink in. And that includes what on earth I'm going to do at 9pm, Tuesdays.
Incidentally, the finale shoot-out involved the bloke off of the second best programme set in Manchester, 'Shameless', who incidentally was grassed up by the one with Tourettes from 'Shameless', names escape me. Nice touch.
Thankfully, the BBC have a spin-off, 'Ashes To Ashes', set in 1981 and starring DCI Gene Hunt as well as his sidekicks DS Ray Carling and DC Chris Skelton, but no John Simm. The series sees them transfered to the Met and is, although this sounds like a red herring, more 'Miami Vice' than 'The Sweeney'. Make of that what you will. It's due to start filming in the summer and will hit the box in 2008.
Tomorrow's Manchester Evening News site is worth keeping an eye on tomorrow because they're going 'Life On Mars' bonkers, especially Ian Wylie's blog. Poor love is getting way over-excited. And who can blame him?
