Cool! They did a Life On Mars week on one of the cable channels not so long ago, and I virtually did that, even though I had seen all of the second series and some of the first.

Imagine a rozzer like Brian Paddick (although not gay) being plonked down in The Sweeney and you are about there.

As a law geek, my fave bit is when, from time to time, Sam has to caution someone on arrest and says "You have the right to remain silent. However, if you do not mention when questioned something that you later rely on in court..." and gets interrupted by his colleagues saying "It doesn't GO like that!!!"

Ahhh, misty memories of those wonderful days of the right to silence!
