So, The end of a great TV program....but did anyone else find the ending slightly confusing, it created as many questions as it answered.

I thought it was brilliant series though, definately one for the DVD rack!

Apparently there is going to be a new series 'Ashes to Ashes' which is a spin off of LOM.


All in all thought it was great, anyone else?

I did see the end though. It was just weird...

Two endings were filmed, by the way. Look out for both of them on the DVD that will be coming out soon...

Never saw any of the series but watched the one tonight just out of curiosity to see what sort of pants ending they would come up with and looks like my guess of pants ending was true.

Boo!

Pants? I thought it was a clever ending but did leave some questions hung in the breach,

I heard the spin off is set in 80's London with only Gene from the original cast. Apparently a bird from the 21st century joins him.

If it's just Gene Hunt then you can pretty much bet on there being no romantic sub-plot.

You can imagine him turning on the charm...

I heard that others were joining him in the 80's like chris and roy, anyway I think it was a good program with a good ending. How can you call it rubbish compared to all the other dramas that are on British tv.

As a series it was good. The one liners from Gene Hunt were great and it was a great excuse to be completely politically incorrect. The ending was a bit odd though

On a side note anyone notice the number on the ward?
"Hyde Ward 2163" very much alike the telephone extension in '1973' which was refereed to..

I don't think that he wasn't actually out of it. He realised that after the knife incident...

Hmmmm. Nah, didn't like the end now I've watched it. Personally I thought the following:-



Damn stupid ending basically...

I couldn't read any posts here because in the US we're still waiting for this show on BBC America. But I read a little of Powersoft's first post, and I seriously hope you're kidding when you said the show was ending. It's only in its second season .

They said from the start it would only be 2 series. Which is a breath of fresh air as all to often shows are milked to death and become repetitive drivel.

Yep it is the end. But Ashes to Ashes (Gene in 80's London) sounds pretty good. Although unless they somehow change the outcome of Life on Mars to mean something else then we all know what is happening so it won't be as good.
