not the Bowie song.

Anyone like it? I've only just started watching it and its rather good don't you think?
 
Now you're talking Fitz!

Ive watched both series and liked the first one with John Simms first. that Keely Hawkes is a bit of a duff actress, tends to whisper her words all the time, but the love interest between her and Gene is good.

the Bowie clown creeps me out though! and, what a twist at the end (won't spoil it for you!).
 
I always remember John Simm from that film "Human Traffic" where he had that T-shirt that said "Mr Floppy" on it lol... and of course from "The Master" in last year's Doctor Who...

I've been well impressed with it, excellent infact! Being a 70's Child its actually spot on so it would seem. My favourite episode is when a Man Utd fan is killed, and Tyler fears further violence in the run up to an important local derby with City. He and Hunt mount an undercover operation in a pub to catch the suspect. Sam realises that the match is the last one he attended with his father (Spooky) What I like about this episode the most though is when Tyler has the murderer in the cell and is outlining what effect people like him will have in the future. He says something about Grounds will have to erect pens and people will get killed because of his actions. Basically he was refering to the Hillsborough disaster. Brilliant, brilliant writing and acting!

Yes please don't spoil the last episode for me, I can't wait after seeing a preview last night. It looks fantastic!

I thought he and Tennant were superb together, his final scene was well throat lumpy, watch it and tell me I'm wrong: YouTube - Doctor Who - "Last of the Time Lords" - Death of the Master

He and DT are actually very good mates in real life so I guess the scene was a bit weird to play. If you like John Simm try The Lakes or 24 Hour Party People where he is superb again in both.
 
LIFE ON MARS SERIES 1 AND 2 ARE BOTH AWESOME, AND SO IS ASHES TO ASHES BUT MY FAVE BLOKE IS DCI HUNT ( PROPER POLICING) AS MY FRIEND SAYS. HOPE THERE IS ANOTHER SERIES SOON, AND THE SONGS ARE BRILLIANT TOO :hug:

Whilst I agree with a lot of that I reckon you should give your local PC repair man a call as it seems your Caps Lock is sticking a little.
