Sean, you move in interesting circles, always seem to have contact here or there..
Reality? Good title, Bowie's highest charting album (in the UK) for 10 years, so why not?
Reality also fits in with the theme of the series so far, and suggest some sort of conclusion via a return to reality for the time traveling / hallucinating / comatose police officer.
Interesting circles my arse.They said on the radio yesterday that there was definately going to be another series.
I can't see it being called Reality though.I expect most viewers don't get the Bowie title references anyway.
I love the series but think it should have been a straight cop show without all the time travel nonsense.
Or is it a comedy? Raymondo eating a battered penis.Classic.
The shows use the songs to locate the story in time (although A2A went spare with the clown, to its disadvantage - otherwise, I liked the show) so I guess "Reality" would be set in 2003.
The American LOM had a dingbat wrapup in the season finale where the cast was revealed as space explorers, it was all Sam Tyler's freaky dream and Harvey Keitel was Major Tom. I wanted to throw something.
I heard about it on t'internet Lee, my contact said the same team have a green light for a project called 'Reality' which will answer certain questions about ATA/LOM I took this to mean a series following on starring the usual characters.
I don't think it will be called Reality..it's just a project name Lee
Ashes to Ashes ended so well. Loved it. If they are going to do another surely it should be the 90's. If so Deadman Walking would be a good title. Great if it was a place where both characters meet and try to get back to real life.
<< Yes, Mr. Keitel played Gene Hunt in the American series. He's in the running for an Emmy, it says here in the paper.>>
I wasn't aware until now that there was an American version of LOM / ATA.
I can't see it working as good as the UK versions because part of the attraction of the whole thing was remembering what life was like in the UK during those two decades, not to mention the very British humour contained within the scripts
Maybe I'm just being biased because I'm a Brit, but even so when something uniquely British is Americanised it usually loses something during the translation.
<<Maybe I'm just being biased because I'm a Brit, but even so when something uniquely British is Americanised it usually loses something during the translation. >> exactly! Like the American version of the Italian Job. What a load of rubbish that was.
The British version was much superior - I always felt that the Yank series was trying too hard. The dialogue was overelaborate and self-conscious. The one real great moment was in the pilot, where Sam Tyler (Jason O'Mara), stumbling disoriented from his car, looks up and sees the Twin Towers looming up before him, with "Life On Mars" building on the soundtrack. A magnificent scene - nothing else really captured that.
