Except for the fact that his 'time travel' isn't caused by being in an accident-induced coma, but from being in cryogenic stasis. In a space capsule. On Mars.

Get it? Because the show's called Life on Mars

>accident-induced com

m8 he was dead all along, he was in purgatory or something and the bartender was god. I think it's explained better in Ashes to Ashes

UK. The US one is good, but the ending is shit.
>>
>>69746157
Ashes to ashes isn't canon.

Life on Mars explains it was his Tumor making the dream world
>>
>>69746157

In life on mars he's on a coma but on and off life support, he wakes up in his own time and then kills himself to get back.
>>
>>69745980
Please tell me you're joking

>>69746246
And the original ending was just the screen going black after he killed himself.

In the american version it's Doctor Hu. She's a Chinese theoretical physicist who finds a drone satellite of an alien civilization on the moon

>>69746246

Life on Mars implies that he was dead all along and the times he heard people like his gf talking to him and eventually woke up were illusions of the devil to trick him. The bartender tell him about devil tricks iirc and that's why he doesn't feel anything when he cuts himself at the end
>>
>watch the American version of Harry Potter
>in the end Harry becomes potter
that was unexpected
>>
>Watch the US version of Cracker
>It's literally about a white boy who eats crackers

For fuck's sake

Ashes to Ashes was rubbish in comparison.

Spoonfeeding an explanation to the whole scenario in the final episode ruined the mystique of it all.
>>

Oh god you just reminded me of that fucking US pilot, why?

That feel when no 90's series with Gene Hunt Firing up the Sierra RS Cosworth.

Brits make their own version of American gameshows. Americans make their own versions of British comedies.

You think this is a joke?
>>
>>69746412

It implies a few different things, it's clear they originally intended it for a coma and made some changes throughout the course.

i watched US version, then tried the Britbong version and couldnt do it.
i'm american so maybe the unfamiliarity with the british references were an issue for me.

but after reading the wikipedia article on it, the brit version seems better.
