Life On Mars is an amazing show!!! I watched both seasons on DVD, having missed it on TV, and I couldn’t stop watching episode after episode! I can’t wait for Ashes To Ashes to hit our screens!
Well deserved.
An excellent show. If you haven’t seen it, make sure you do. I’d hate to run into the Gene Genie in a dark alley 🙂
Good to see I.T Crowd being appreciated. It’s not for everyone, but us Geeks love it 🙂
