Life On Mars






Detective Chief Inspector Sam Tyler, is hunting a serial killer when he gets hit by a car and wakes up in 1973.

The TV series is named after the David Bowie song "Life on Mars?", which is playing on the iPod in Tyler's car when the accident happens, and on an 8-track tape when he awakes in 1973.

Another song featured on the soundtrack, in the second episode, is "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney and Wings. Initially permission was refused for use of the song by the record company but they sent the episode direct to Paul McCartney. Almost immediately, his assistant phoned back and said 'Paul loves it. You can go ahead and use it'."
