Life on Mars: The Official Companion. Guy Adams & Lee Thompson (1st Edn H/B)2006

 LIFE ON MARS: THE OFFICIAL COMPANION by Guy Adam & Lee Thompson

It's the bestselling show....

My name is Sam tyler. I had an accident, and I woke up in 1973. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now maybe if I ca work out the reason, I can get home......

LIFE ON MARS, one of the most groundbreaking shows of recent years, saw viewers fixed to their screens as Sam Tyler struggled to do his job and keep his sanity in the beer-swilling, cigareete-smoking, punch first and ask questions later world of a 1970's police station.

Was he lost in time or just in his own head? Would he ever return to the 'real' world? What had brought him to this time and place?

Now you can read all about the creation, inspiration and production of what RADIO TIMES called 'the most original cop show since the seventies' in this official guide to the first series. Produced with the full support of the programme mskers and extensive access to set, actors and the Part Seven, LIFE ON MARS _ THE OFFICIAL COMPANION is much more than an episode guide. It is an innovative combination of interviews - with both cast and production crew - and fiction in which the writers get close to the characters who have endeared themselves to so many millions of views....

Pull on your Cuban-heeled boots, light-up a Rothmans, turn up the Bowie, and find out inside. Be warned though, once you've had a taste of 1973 you my not want to come back.....
