Life On Mars 'is poised to return for a third series' as creators drop huge hint the anti-woke hit will be revived after 'financial setbacks' forced them to axe previous plans | Daily Mail Online
The beloved series, which starred John Simm as the out-of-time copper Sam Tyler and Phillip Glenister as the cantankerous DCI Gene Hunt beca
Ooh interesting!
The #DailyDetective for 22 June 2021. John Simm in Life on Mars.
David Bowie's Life on Mars? was released as a single on 22 June 1973, almost a full year and a half after the album Hunky Dory.
The mystery in both Bowie's original song and the show that shares its name are ultimately the same. It's also the one question where humans don't seem able to take No for an answer: Is there something else, something that gives meaning to our lives?
In Bowie's lyrics, a young girl watches a "best selling show" to see a "lawman beating up the wrong guy" while unaware that there's an entire universe of meaning beyond his own. There's only a lonely, desperate prayer that the same could be true for the girl.
Life on Mars, as created by Matthew Graham, Tony Jordan and Ashley Pharoah, marries the police procedural, complete with clues and twists and more genre tropes than you can shake a gloved fist at, with these deeper-reaching questions. There's nothing else quite like it, including the less searching, more concrete sequel, Ashes to Ashes.
Hopefully the proposed final series in the sequence, Lazarus, can engage with something more akin to the far-reaching mysteries of Life on Mars and not the more self-regarding, fiction-bound, canon-building concerns that bogged down too much of Ashes to Ashes.
Heads up for those with access to Amazon UK, as Ashley reminds us, still available to view.
“For those of you saying lovely things about #TheLivingAndTheDead today, it’s still on @AmazonUK Tell your friends!”
TLATD creator Ashley and director Alice are still nostalgic for the series. And it’s lovely that they’re still responding occasionally to twitter comments.
And so say we all :-(

“@GothLover Yeah, me too! Especially at this time of year, with the hay in the fields @alicetroughton”
Lovely to see that The Living And The Dead is still having an impact - media students, new audiences - and that Ashley and Alice know this.
“Screened #TheLivingAndTheDead episode one for my third year undergraduates on my Media and Time module. I am glad to report to @AJPharoah a
Ashley’s answer to Victoria’s question - so now we know that it was pretty much the BBC’s decision on the scheduling of The Living And The Dead. A decision which, IMHO, had a significant negative impact on viewing figures (and hence the lack of support for S2).
Note that Sam Donovan, director of eps 4-6, likes Ashley’s response.
“It's a tough part of the job, being at the inscrutable whim of The Scheduler. Nothing you can do. Just smile nicely when they say "July is
A reminder from Ashley Pharoah that tickets are possibly still available for the BFI screening of The Living And The Dead’s first episode.
And we should know which cast are attending the screening in the next few days. Here’s hoping you lucky people with tickets get to see Colin.
And confirmation that we are (hopefully) looking at a late June airdate on @bbcone. Some speculation it could be on Sunday evenings after the new series of Wallander has finished.
