This Week On Mars

Greetings Lifers,

This week we saw the season premiere on BBC ONE (IN COLOUR) at 9.00pm on Tuesday, closely followed by the second episode on BBC FOUR (ALSO IN COLOUR) at 10.00pm. We were also lucky enough to have the release of the first "Life On Mars" companion book on Monday (12.02.2007). The book is available now at the BBC Shop, for the rather reasonable price of 12.99. It contains a hidden cover, under the dust jacket revealing that it is actually the "1973 Life On Mars Annual", cool touch.

As well as being spoiled by these, the 19th of February 2007 sees the release of the "Life On Mars" Soundtrack CD. Below you will find a track listing of the CD. In addition to music from 1973, the CD also contains some dialogue from the show (more than likely suitable for message tones). The tracks go as follows . . . .
