Life on Mars (BBC Cop Drama)

[jkirk]

excellent show i have watched all the episodes and i have not seen a bad one yet. unfortunately i heard this is the last season of this show so the entire run will cover 16 episodes. i have heard there will be a spinoff tho that takes place in the 80's. rumors say gene hunt will be in it but sam will not.


of course there are rumors the guy that plays sam is the new master in doctor who.

edit abc is creating a remake of life on mars for the us audience.
new pilots coming

Why do American broadcasters feel the need to 'remake' British TV shows?

They did it with The Office too...

Do they think Americans won't be able to handle dodgy accents, shouts of "Bastard!" and peculiar Brit phrases?

I think we should re-make Dallas and fill it with 'diamond geezers', 'wags' and 'chavs'...

:-D

go right ahead (i hate dallas)you can also have falcon crest and knots landing too.

as for remaking it, maybe it won't be too bad. unfortunately when something is remade it is because they like the premise but didn't think the audience will be addicted to the show in it's current form. this usually means re-filming with tons of special effects dodgy camera angle and other gimmicks to hold the audience's attention.
