Life on Mars

Last episode tonight

I'm looking forward to it in a sad sort of way. Certainly my only must-see TV for a long long time.
Any last minute theories? I've given up really ... too much thinking takes away from the enjoyment.
The only silly idea I have is that the characters at the cop shop are all facets of Sam's character. Morgan and Hunt are the good cop/bad cop part of him, Ray and Chris are his stupid and dumb traits, Annie shows his softer more intuitive side ...... but how that fits the story, who knows?

My only (half baked and founded on no reason at all) theory is that Sam is told that in order to go back to 2006 he has to agree to the killing off of all his 1973 colleagues. So he has to make a choice between which life he wants to lead with no strings attached in either world (so to speak).

But I hear they are mooting a 1980s version of same story . . . not sure how and who with though

What did you think? I liked it.
Here's an article from one of the writers which ties up a few lose ends http://blogs.manchestereveningnews.c...e_answers.html

Now, John Simm/Sam Tyler is rather attractive in a lost puppy sort of way. Like this

but hair, make up and costume can change an actor rather spectacularly! Would you have fancied this Nick Witchell lookalike as DCI Tyler?

I thought is was truly superb! And I was gobsmacked that my theory wasn't that far off the mark

Ken theorised that maybe it was a kind of double-bluff and that he really WAS from the 70s and jumped of the 00s building to effectively 'end' the fantasy of living in the future. Could be - but after reading the link I think not.

I'm sorry to read that the (very) lovely John Simm won't be back in Ashes to Ashes.

*sigh* = the first LoM-free Tuesday - how will we cope!

Here's another pic for you Kim. Maybe a bit too cheesey for me - and he looks very young. Gets a bit creepy when your pin-ups look too much like your son

He must be one of the small proportion of men who age well. I think he's approaching 40? Wearing it well!

DM - you are one bad girl posting pics like that. I hate to admit it, but for the first time in a very, very long time my lil old heart went 'flutter' when I scrolled down

I shall have to snag n save that one . . . .

And the link? Well, I need to go and mop my eyes now, good grief - must be hormonal or something
