Well here it is. the first screen shot of the US version of BBC show Life on Mars.
Jason O'Mara is playing Sam Tyler, DS9's Colm Meaney is playing Gene Hunt, although i got to say he has got a hellova job trying to outdo Philip Glenister who plays the character in the BBC series.
Some Classic Gene Hunt clips from Life On Mars (click to watch)
Gene Hunt = Bad Reputation
The show follows the same format as the Uk version, Starting in Modern times and then shifting to L.A in 1972 as Sam tries to find out where he is and what has happened to him
First Thoughts:
Well apart from Screaming Starsky & Hutch at me, my biggest concern with the show is that is going to be a carbon copy of the Uk version. I know that 1972 American will be radically different from 1973 England. I've seen plenty of good UK tv shows and them when developed for American Tv they copy it scene for scene, word for word.
Fritz comes straight into my mind as just a US copy of
Cracker
Comments anyone?
