Not Long Now

With only a few days to go, there is excitement in the air. As every fan of "Life On Mars" counts down the minutes, some even seconds until the series two premiere. Not much new to report, as most things surrounding the show are clouded in secrecy. So I thought I would tantalize all you "Lifers" with some screen grabs, enjoy . . . .

Site Changes and Confessions

Hello there, if you have visited this before you may have noticed a few changes over the last couple of days. A new site design, as well as the addition of Life On Mars Chat. Also, some colour changes as well, done at the request of my brother because diddums claimed it was hard to read.

The Life On Mars Chatbox, has been setup for all you visitors to chat about all things "Life On Mars". If you are censored for swearing in your post, all I can say is suffer. The Chatbox is monitored by the guys over at Cbox who are creators of the plug-in, so keep it clean.

New additions to the site will occur more frequently now, as the season 2 launch approaches. My apologies are also in order, due to a previous post of a trailer, below. When I originally posted the YouTube video, I was under the impression that it was made by a fan. Well, it isn't. It was encoded and posted by a fan, but the credit needs to go to the BBC themselves. The BBC have now posted Wallpapers, screensavers, samples and even mobile screensavers (animated .gifs) of the puppet style Sam and Gene, which are absolutely awesome.

Head over to the Official Site to check them out. Part of my wish came true, I wonder if these puppetesque (is that even a word) characters will get there own site, or even an animated spinoff, heres hoping. Anyway these are some of the inconsistancies you get when you do a blog on a show that isn't even screened in your own country. That's right I'm an Australian, and the only way I found out this show existed to begin with was through the internet. I then decided to buy the dvd set of season 1 (through Sendit.com).

Finally, I would like to thank the guys over at Torchwood.tv (another blogger site)for producing such an awesome site. This and this alone was where my inspiration came from, Cheers guys . . . . . .

Season 2 Premiere

RadioTimes.com has Life On Mars listed as Tuesday February 13 at 9.00pm, on BBC1 for its season 2 premiere. Set your PVRs, VCRs or DVD Recorders as no one will want to miss the return of everybodys favorite time travelling cop, Sam Tyler.

Sam Tyler - The Master?

According to the british newspaper "The Sun", the people behind Doctor Who are seeking John Simm to play the Doctors' arch-rival "The Master". Bosses have apparently already spoken with John, and hope he will sign up soon.

The Masters' last appearence in the show, was in the 1996 Doctor Who movie (A.K.A "Doctor Who - The Enemy Within), then played by Eric Roberts (Julia Roberts' brother). If John accepts the role, he will become the 7th actor to play the role begun with Roger Delgado.

John should relish the chance to have control over time travel, which he currently doesn't on Life On Mars. Another bonus is the Masters' Tardis (Time Machine), actually works properly, unlike the Doctors'.

Lets hope John says yes.
