Yes! My favorite TV show of last year is back for another 8 shows! David Bowie - Life On Mars

The premise is great. A cop sent back to 1973. You can do an old fashion cop drama, address current issues and still avoid anachronism. Cool.

David Bowie live Santa Monica 72
Sebastian Karlsson
Seu Jorge
Jasper Steverlinck
Steffi DiDomenicantonio
The Flaming Lips
The Divine Comedy
And the wonderfully named Stan van Samang. Go ahead. Say it out loud a few times. Stan van Samang. Stan van Samang. Stan van Samang.

I was disappointed with the ending of the first series. Hopefully the second will be better.

cmonkey, a lot of people seemed to be disappointed with the ending of the first series but I really belived there would be more so it was not bad. And now there is more!

Some of the programmes weren't too great but overall I really liked it a lot. More than anything I'm really happy that the BBC are now doing good old fashioned fantasy drama again.

Not my kind of programme at all, but The Divine Comedy is a fantastic group. Timewatching from A Short Album About Love is one of the swoonsome, gorgeous songs ever.

I haven't seen the show, and don't have cable so prolly won't for awhile, but I wish to say that I like the fact that the BBC, in general, has end dates for their series'.
