Loads and loads of songs have changed! How strange. Any ideas?? We’ve just had The strawbs replacing the Moodies which ... I mean Dave Cousins’ voice is an acquired taste I’ve never acquired whereas Justin Hayward’s is like liquid gold so, hmmm. But it’s mostly irrelevant. Why would it have to change because it’s on iplayer? Licensing issues I'd wager. It happened with the film Nighthawks. The original had The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar and Keith Emerson's version of I'm A Man but licensing issues prevented these tracks from accompanying the DVD release. They have been reinstated for the Blu Ray release but it's only available on the septic side of the pond. Gene. Just seems so odd when it’s been around for 13 years and is on dvd and Blu-ray and only now do they have to change it? Mind you, I never saw it live! I can only assume the dvd is the original broadcast. I know there’s the weird Bolan scene etc that’s been in ans out a bit but never noticed any variance in music before now. Completely changes the fee of some of the scenes.

I agree. I think any alterations would detract from the original "as meant" release.
Gene.

Can we safely assume you'll be getting splinters in your arse again?

Oh... I thought we were talking about the shows, not the cast. I'm impartial with the shows as they were both brilliant. I was in them both

Completely changes the fee of some of the scenes. Has the music changed since it was originally broadcast on BBC1?
If the music has been changed within the episodes (either on DVD or on a re-broadcast) it will almost certainly be down to licencing/contractual rights over the use of the music.
When "Life on Mars" was made; they would have had an idea of what music they wanted to use - and where; the BBC would have needed to licence this use of the music (usually for one Broadcast), and then there are usually other deals that need to be struck over it's use on repeats and commercially released DVDs (with the latter, I would expect PRS/Artist would want a cut of the profits).
The music was possibly changed because of the licencing/rights (some artists are very funny about this) and replaced with something with less issues.
Most BBC DVD releases have a 'disclaimer' on the back.
Of course - programmes like "Sweeney" never had this issue, as they used library music.

I see that the whole series is on iPlayer at the moment.
I only watched a few of the first episodes and then came back to see the last couple.
That last episode was really powerful and quite shocking, especially the sequence where the characters watched videos of how they themselves had died.

Well worth watching them all from start to finish 3L Gene.
