I didn’t think they could pull another series off. Bur the fantastic cast transported down to London from the cobbled north was a masterpiece of genius. The ‘unpolitical correct’ way the police were allowed to function is perfectly portrayed. Male chauvinist’s ruled the roost. Criminals were the baddies, straight talking was the order of the day and the good guys won the daily battle against crime.
Interesting perspective to put in the liberated well educated policewoman, who is so obviously superior in intelligence to her male colleagues. The dynamics between them are a joy to watch.
How will it all end will Gene get it together with the bit of posh or will she suddenly wake up in hospital and get back to her family,
For me the first series will still be the very best. Life on Mars was so cleverley done as the audience was held on tenterhooks right until the final programme. I wonder if they can possible do another series after this one as Gene and his colleagues would have most certainly have taken their lump sums and gone of the Spain to live on the Costas. Now there is an idea!!
