[callumandrewfinbar]

[toontownsrs]

[Valioth112]

@toontownsrs Jason Watkins, aka Herrick from Being Human :)

[toontownsrs]

@Valioth112

thanks:D!

[clairehunt1]

Hiya,

This isn't one of the best police dramas ever filmed -- this *is* the best.

Well it got me into a lot of others but the interest must've always been there. I luv this -- it just sounds like a bog-standard blues song to me.

[shineydaytildeath]

0.17-0.19 sam's expression

[lashtastic]

I'd love to see what Herrick's method of busting Gene out would be....

[aguscro]

which episode is it?

[charger19691]

This is one of the best Police dramas ever filmed. Outstanding!

[TheMrCFH]

that drrunk lawyer couln't have made it to the door

[ColonelJadeCurtiss]

Love how Sam just sits there & smile. It's so funny that Gene got a drunk lawyer.

[BeyonceIsMe000]

LET MY PEOPLE GOOOARRRRR

drunkeness is so damn funny :L

[PHHOFTHEPH]

i love john simm's expressions in that scene. whenever i watch this scene it cheers me up after a stressfull day, it just makes my day!

[zygonsftw]

Come on lovely lad

[jazzzyy13]

I would never be able to keep a straight face filming something like this... yikes :P

This is so funny! Poor Gene though, lol at his face at the end XD

[Stokie09123]

''Condition???!!!''

[superFrontrunner]

0:44 I love how he says "condition? condition? CONDITIONS?"

[emmatl22]

Ahahaha love this bit

[rumpole33]

why didnt they do at least TWO series of LOM???

they doing THREE series of ATA, but LOM was by far the best of all the series!!!

[rumpole33]

@rumpole33: note to myself. they did series 2. not 3.

[JamiePS3Howitt]

@rumpole33

They DID do two series of LOM.

[rumpole33]

@JamiePS3Howitt , yes, that's why i put a note to myself that they did two series. i tried deleting my original post, but no option to do so.

[UK31337]

@rumpole33 They stopped at Series 2 because John Simm wasn't able to do it anymore due to other commitments.

Hence Ashes to Ashes was born to wrap up the story.

[Jiemusu89]

@rumpole33 They still could do a third series of LOM. The present day Sam Tyler commited suicide in ATA, but the Sam Tyler in the "1970s" can act as a tangent timeline, and carry on from where it finished.

It's up to them realy. I adored the realistic 1970 set up.

[Stokie09123]

Love it how after this scene Gene tells sam that the drunkard got him bailed :P!

[LadyTinidril82]

Phillip Glenister totally looks at the camera at 0:46! Hee.

[AHafan1]

i cracked up at this 1st time I saw it - trust Gene to get this guy as his lawyer

[ThrawnDuGard2]

Why woud he hire a drunk as a lawyer? :P

[Chicagofairy]

I love this guy :D

And Gene Hunt (h)

[etocadet]

i wish the lawyers in csi's acted like this lol

[takeshiparmaviolet]

absolute class. thank you so much for putting this on here. was so disappointed when this was cut from the repeat. has got to be one of the best black comedy scenes ever filmed.

[eversoplucky]

As an obsessive fan both of Life and Mars and Being Human, this scene's epic awesomeness in my eyes cannot be accurately conveyed.

It's HERRICK! Drunk! With glasses!

*dies*

[johnrichards90]

I didn't notice that at first, you're a legend

[mkr88lm]

the scene i saw was much shoter...without all the singing... how is it possible??

[abre01]

in the international version this is cut, like many other great scenes, it's a pity!

[mkr88lm]

yes,i'm watching the episodes on the web now and there's a lot of great scenes they left out! (like drunk Gene scenes in series 1 episode 5...) it is a pity... do you know if they're doing the same in Ashes to Ashes??

[abre01]

this is also a funny cut scene: watch?v=mtvnN6l8K1A

I'm not sure if they're doing the same to Ashes to Ashes, I guess so.

But I have to look the international version anyway, because the don't show ashes to ashes here in germany!

[abre01]

... sorry, i wanted to say I have to look the english version!

[Francis2061]

I love Sam's face throughout this scene and the way Gene sits there like this is a perfectly normal everyday occurance. The writing of this series is classic genius.

[linzmoore]

LMFAO!! Love Phil trying to keep a straight face at 0.38. XD XD XD

[PalatineGirl]

This is simply the funniest piece of complete scene stealing I have ever seen. How the other actors kept themselves together as he began singing 'let my people go', simply beggars belief. John Simm's eyebrows are practically in orbit and I swear Phil Glenister's pout is actually an attempt to prevent him laughing. Only the other lawyer show's scarcely a flicker...a vignette of genius. Thanks for posting.

[miss0mayonnaise]

The bloke who plays the lawyer is Jason Watkins, a great actor who appears in Confetti, Being Human, and even a little role in Bridget Jones 2. He deserves far more recognition than he currently gets

[Zizrastaen]

This is ... one of the funniest clips ever. I have no idea how they all kept a straight face, especially the guy who plays Morgan. I think Glenister was having trouble - the purse of his lips seems especially determined.

Thanks for sharing this!

[UnidentifiedFemale]

How did that lawyer pass the bar exam? ^_^

[maddalicex]

...after 4 pints of scrumpy cider with vodka chasers.

[JeannieGene]

"C'mon lovely lad, we're done..." *lmao*

[ellisqpr86]

that man is the biggest sven goran erikkson lookalike ever

[sk8fan18]

since iv found this, iv never been able to keep a straight face.

god knows how they can

epic scene XD

[darthdude1016]

genes face. i was waiting after the lawyer touched him to get up and grab him and throw him into the filing cabinet

[GrabMySanity]

LOL LMAO ROFL *dies of laughter*

hehe, Gene's face

[DarthCulf]

Best. Lawyer. Ever!

[captain07234]

Don't know the name of the actor that played the lawyer but he was great. He stole the entire scene.

[f1fan1050]

Did that bloke throw up in his hands and then put his hand on Gene Hunts shoulder. I just loved the expression on Genes face, just priceless! LOL!

[boobabycluebaby2]

I love how Sam can't help but smile at it all.

[xxnuttychicxx]

How they all keep straight faces I don't know!

[gibb87]

real copper

[DeadMeteor]

Rofl, this is awesome XD

[agb1986]

with the very greatest respect detective chief inspector put up or shut up. lol

[RobinLurvessHimm]

loooooooooooooooooool genes face lolol

[dfts99]

This was done so well,

Rule number one:

when you're hot you're hot.

Should be compulsory viewing for all aspiring Lawyers

[Sweetlittlemystery]

now this is why i wanted to be a lawyer (shame the industry didn't think so)

[jeni3r]

Seriously like my favorite clip...Top Notch! Hahahahaha, this guy is the best.

[BigProof4eva]

second to last of season 2

[horsessoccer123]

okay thanks!

[hayleylloyd2007]

That lawyer is so funny! I want one! hehe

[jupiterknight007]

Gah, I love the guv XD *dies laughing* I'm crossing my fingers for that lawyer to make an Ashes to Ashes appearance, yeah? *ha ha*

[BigProof4eva]

haha, love Life on Mars. And so glad their making Ashes to Ashes!!

[Pewack07]

lool XD

[BrokenButStillHere]

Lmao! :D

x

[Culf]

I used to think Gene was the coolest guy on Life on Mars, then I remembered his lawyer. That guy is so fantastic I can't even sit straight!

"Come on, lovely lad, we're done."

[ratsondown]

too right
