Exactly 15 years ago today saw the very first episode of Life On Mars hit our screens and have a massive impact on millions of people, not least of all me.

Life On Mars came along at a great time. It wasn't long after peaked Sweeney interest after the Network Dvd releases. Life On Mars excelled in taking a smattering of Sweeney ingredients and successfully making a great new detective series with fantastic drama.

That's crazy. I was 12 . I know we didn't watch it at the time. I think the first time we saw it was on borrowed DVDs and I think it was roughly when Ashes was starting. Then we didn't see Ashes until 2011, so constantly slightly behind the times! May have to indulge in the first episode this evening, then! Happy Birthday

Fifteen years! Where has that time gone? It doesn't feel that long ago.
It's also so hard to believe the impact and influence that it has had on so many of us, and I'm pleased that it did. For many of us it has continued to be part of our lives way past that first broadcast.
Sam.

It would certainly be nice to have a look round the Mars manor on it's fifteenth anniversary year. Who knows might be possible.
