I wholeheartedly agree. "Life on Mars" was an outstanding detective show with just enough of the sci-fi/time travel theme to give it that spark.

I also just purchased a tie-in series called "Dust to Dust" which uses some of the same actors, but it's now 1981 and another character with ties to Sam Tyler (the "time-traveling" cop from "Life on Mars") has come from 2008 to interact with DCI Hunt, Sam Tyler's boss and nemesis from 1971.

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but it looks like it ought to be very very good.

I just caught the first episode on the recommendation of others on this thread- looks good. They brought back everyone except Tyler and Annie. BTW the show is Ashes to Ashes.
