Well, Its finally over, now the debate on one of the best progs on the box for a very long time.
Was he dreaming the whole thing or was he actually bonkers or did the writers run out of ideas and leave it up to the viewers? Either way, well worth the watch just for the quotes:
Sam Tyler: If it was to do with football, he'd have serious injuries.
Gene: He's dead. That's quite serious (The delivery on that was just perfect)

Life on Mars ending

so is it the end or will carry on, am waiting for the box set coming out on 16th

Or they left it deliberately ambiguous, to get people talking about it.
It's a shame it's over, but I think they did they right thing there. It kept its quality right to the end.
So, which was real, 1973 or 2006? What is reality, anyway? Is 1973 real for him because he chose to believe that it is? Some sort of phenomenalism?

I heard on the radio theres gonna be a series 2. Featuring the big sexist womaniser cop and a woman from the *future*, its set in the 80's this time.
I never watched it this time but i heard something quite funny about the program, the road hes driving down in 2006 becomes a building site when he ends up in the 70's....that road was completed in 1967.

This is how I took it to mean
Mabchester 1973 is his personal Heaven or limbo. Limbo, yes. When he was knocked over he entered this limbo while in his vegative state. He recovers and decides that 2006 isnt for him. He attempts suicide to return. We hear on Gene's car radio that again he is not quite dead but safely back in his personal limbo paradise.
Brillant series. Found the culmination of the romance with WPC Annie very touching. And Gene Hunt's lines were fantastic. "As fake as a trannies fanny", "Fingers in more pies that a leper in a pie factory"
Gene Hunt will return. But not Sam Tyler. In spin off series Ashes to Ashes (Another Bowie track name) set in 1983. No other details on it yet. Can not wait.

and the best bit is...
it was sooo believable!!
Rarely have the Beeb come up with such a gripping series imho.
Just examine your own dreams sometimes (if you can remember them) and think about some of the outlandish things you came up with.
"battenburg" coloured Police cars ffs! Whatever is the world coming to?

Superb Telly! Series 1 and 2 were both great viewing.
My take on the ending is that Sam never woke from the operation to remove the tumor and still lies in a vegetive state prefering to be living out his dreamworld of 1973 instead of 2006.
Gene Hunt was a fantastic character and am really looking forward to Ashes to Ashes, if it gets made and is not just a rumour!

It was confirmed on the BBC superweb interhighway thingy and that it will be set in 1981, I hope its as good but I think it may be a tad too modern?, they should have set it just a few years on from the original. It won't be the same with capris and sierras, give me the granadas anytime

Been avoiding this thread cause I had not watched it, but just seen the last 2 episodes back to back. Loved every second of it, but it had to end you could not carry on something that good. The writing would have suffered, I hope the spin off lives up to this one.

Life on Mars is definitely the best thing the Beeb has done in ages, prob since Pride & Prejudice in fact! Gene Hunt is the most entertaining police character since Frank Burnside
Apparently the new series is supposed to be named after another Bowie song, Ashes to Ashes
"He's got fingers in more pies than a leper on a cookery course"

Best line from the series (Gene Hunt)
"ok, we have a criminal to catch, but right now, its beer o'clock"
How did they get away with these sexist and racist comments?
Fantastic series, we wait with baited breath for the spin off. Definately a :thumbup: to the bbc for this one!
