Further to this interesting discussion on [livejournal.com profile] communicator's journal, one of the writers of Life on Mars has been teasing people on the BBC website: "And remember, Rule Britannia is out of bounds, to my mother, my dog and clowns..."

I am liking this show very much, and it is making me think, particularly about nostalgia. Leaving aside the personal questions of what is happening to Sam, I would like to see them brave enough to try an episode about the IRA, and also I am intrigued as to what subtext the show will eventually contain about the period between 1973 and 2006. What it has to say or not say about Thatcherism. And about television. Sam's relationship with his telly is at least as interesting as his relationships with Gene and Annie.

Damn, I wish I had been keeping this on the skybox. I haven't wanted to neurotically close-read anything this much in ages. Well, I'm sure there'll be a DVD release soon enough. My, how times change.

I torrent everything from either Torrentspy or Mininova. I'm at work and can't access those sites now, but all LoM episode torrents seem to stay viable for quite a while.
