"You're an overweight, over-the-hill, nicotine stained, borderline alcoholic homophobe with a superiority complex and an unhealthy obsession with male bonding."
i don't understand why people put the background music so bloody loud that it's hard to hear the talking. it's background music, it's supposed to be bloody low.
Does anyone think it would be cool for a spin off show featuring Gene Hunt and how he came into the business as a Copper like back in the early 60's or late 50's about his early life?
British tv isn't big into origins (e.g. Sapphire and Steel). The characters are just there. You could also see this in the mostly british helmed The Dark Knight in that the Joker was this destructive force that appeared out of nowhere.
art72 .its called ashes to ashes now witch is set in the 80s.the second series ended 2 month ago 3rd series starts next year. just put ashes to ashes in youtube.
Gene is Gene and he's amazing. And ATA is good in another way than LOM. You can't compare it to each other. It's like you're sayin' that bananas are the same as apples.
i think gene hunt was done better in LOM than in ATA. he's more toned down in ATA. in LOM, he was just wild, tougher, and more macho. made for good viewing. sam is way more likeable and watchable than alex (ATA). i think the comraderie between sam and gene was far better than alex and gene.
this would be a lot better if the original soundtrack from the series and the song weren't competing...either silence the speech, or turn the music down. but it's fun stuff, i love gene! :D
Everyone talks of the Gene Hunt character as being the main point in watching Life on Mars- The stories, other actors,settings,etc all made this the best tv series in years...but damn, he was GOOD!

sorry but i say this because bbc version was cancelled and original songs weren't even used which show was based on. plus the characters don't look like from the 70's.. just an opinion.
It wasn't canceled - it ended. The show went through the entire plot intended by its creators. :) Just because it wasn't 10 seasons, with 230 episodes and three mini-movies doesn't mean it was canceled. I'm not gonna blast you for your opinion, but instead get annoyed when you clearly don't know anything about the show you're trying to speak bad about.
Sorry Bakubear for that. I asked someone about that because i thought it was a good show and he said it was cancelled. Not trying to talk bad about it just stating some things i noticed and i have seen it a few times. Not bad just perfer US maybe cause i am from here and understand it better. Again just an opinion. Thanks for clearing that up for me and don't hate but i'm interested to know what Ashes to Ashes is all about.
Ashes to Ashes is similar but with a different person getting in a near death incident and instead of the 70s this time they get transported to the 80s. Gene Hunt's still in it though!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol the US version is so much better and i don't live in the US. i know that all the traliers are shit but watch the US 1 on tv. they changed every character from that LA attempt except the main guy and now it's in new york with awsome acters and the settings r so much better e.g. you can see the twin towers people have massive phones they have songs from that year which were a massive hit (which the british also probably had) but over all the US1 looks way better (real),better acters.
I like the bad ass English attitude that GENE HUNT displays.Tough but fair and he might have to do something unethical to get the bad guy and he's not a politicaly correct pussyboy tv charachter.American tv shows are written by scared people who would give their freedom up in a heartbeat because they don't have a backbone to say what is right.I am sure England is heading that way, being forced to kiss islamic butt, from rumors I have heard
You must be joking - though Hugh Laurie is good for a laugh. I mean 'The Doctor' - centuries old Time Lord from Gallifrey, fights monsters from across the universe, travels in time and space in his TARDIS and even saves the Earth now and then. He's been on the box for 45 years in 'Doctor Who' - how can you not know The Doctor!
Suits Gene Hunt right down to a T. He was my favourite character throughout the series because of his comments and one-liners. 5 Stars
