Life On Mars Series Two Starts On Bbc One Tonight

Take a look at the lawman beating up the wrong guy…(probably)

We’ve mentioned this TV show a couple of times on these pages (01.09.2006 SNIPPET: BOWIE SPACE TITLES INSPIRE VIRGIN AND BBC & 07.24.2006 NEWS: LIFE ON MARS PREMIERES ON BBC AMERICA TONIGHT) and it seems it’s more popular than ever right now with a second series starting tonight on BBC ONE in the UK at 9:00pm.

Take a look at the BBC’s Life On Mars minisite by clicking on the grab above, where you can also view details of tonight’s musical content which apparently includes David Bowie’s classic Starman. You can also view the TV trailer in the BACKSTAGE section which has snippets of Space Oddity and Life On Mars?

The soundtrack CD for the show, which includes Life On Mars? and various other popular recordings of the seventies, will be released next Monday (February 19th) through Sony BMG.

Meanwhile, for those of you that just don’t get time to sit down and watch individual episodes, the series two region 2 DVD (above) will be released on April 9th.

Finally, the current issue of Radio Times magazine has a Life On Mars front cover and five-page feature concerned with all things 1973, including a small picture and entry for David Bowie.
