This book offers new perspectives on the landmark drama Life on Mars, looking back at how it invokes the past, looking forwards to how it illuminates where British TV drama is going, and looking closely at how the series itself is structured. With insights from the makers of the programme as well as from academic experts, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with what Life on Mars means for television.
