This is the opening and closing scene with the song Life on Mars? By David Bowie. It's from the UK show Life on Mars. This is not the opening and closing scene of the whole show, just when the song is used.

    Watched in 2006 and in 2015 then again in 2023. Brill!!! Oh to be back there in 73...
  • I love how you can hear 'Life On Mars' through the iPod speaker before Sam is hit by the car but it's tinny and distant - he wakes up in 1973 and suddenly there it is, a wall of vibrant noise, the song up to full volume
  • @evenfall
    The final scene - I remember like if it was yesterday. The crescendo, the look on his face, the song... One of the most memorable scenes in tv history
  • @richl6966
    An outstanding series. Simms nailed this and is an icon for my generation :-)
  • Scary that he went back 33 years, and we are over halfway that into the future from 2006. This series really was iconic, I couldnt wait for the next weeks episode, I was really gripped. No chance to binge watch the series back then!

    One of the best programmes I've ever watched; always find myself coming back to it (and Ashes to Ashes) over a decade later
  • @thomascharnock
    That Bobby in the opening scene is (was) my dad. Random I know 😅
  • @krashd
    Every few years I watch this and Ashes to Ashes back to back for my Gene Hunt fix. Probably the best cast character in TV history. "Oi, pal! A word in yer shell, like!"
  • @Veritas1164
    One of the best endings of a TV series ever. Love that 'Life on Mars' played at the start and the end.
  • @martinpawley647
    I've seen this series so many times, I've lost count. Thanks BBC for bringing it too us in the first place.

    I remember sitting in a Bar In Bath Somerset when two blokes (writers) came up with this crazy idea for a show. No one thought anything of it then, and one day a lot longer in the future it came out on TV. That was a long time ago and how time has flown!
  • @ikagura
    That big panel with "coming soon" is very Back to the Future-like.
  • @wisteela
    Absolutely amazing show. Also, though not included here, I love how they got the office sounds of the song to fit in with him going into the police station.

    Thank you for posting. This series were my favorite. Times goes so FAST, it's almost surreal. Just ask Sam Tyler...
  • @hamsatd
    Back when the BBC made quality series. Whatever happen to the talent they had before.
  • @inja3553
    Folge es seit kurzen. Das ist eine wunderschöne Musik. Passt sehr gut zu dem Schauspieler John Simm.

    I just watched this show for the first time I just finished it 10 mins ago and damn I was so hurt by the ending. He was so wanted to go back to 2006 but once he did he felt out of place, felt like he did not belong and wanted to go back to 1973 😭. But at least he saved everyone. There's been talk about this coming back and I hope to God it does coz it was BLOODY WICKED
