Back, but not in the nick of time

I take my hat off to TV One for doing the right thing for the second series of Life on Mars—which will hit prime-time in New Zealand at 8.30 p.m., Monday, June 16. Thank goodness not every British show has been relegated to 11 p.m. slots.
Although I have seen the series—and have the DVD—I might still be a sucker and watch it as a re-run, as it was that good. Monday night is shaping up well for telly, with Life on Mars (which puts us 16 months behind the UK now) and Jekyll at 11 p.m.
Let’s hope Ashes to Ashes doesn’t get delayed as badly.

I haven't seen it, and managed to avoid learning the plot, but think it's an appalling comment on TV that you could buy the DVD, retail in NZ let alone Amazon, long before it got to our screen!

Ah, one correction: I got mine via Amazon UK. The local retailers have been pretty good at only retailing the first series so far. (Don’t check back to my posts on the series between February and May 2007: I do give away the finalé!)

No, Marbecks - and others I think - have had Series 2 since it was released in early May (they quote 8 May, 2008).

I spent months avoiding those posts!

Interesting—I stand corrected. The Wellington ones (Dymocks, the Warehouse, Real Groovy) I visited have kept it off the shelves. You probably had to avoid the Ashes to Ashes ones this year, too!

I've got series 2 on reserve from wellington public library :D

It’s well worth watching—especially as we head toward the finalé. But tonight’s one with Marc Warren guest-starring is very good, too (references to Fairy Liquid and Morecambe & Wise).

exciting!

I thought the next one after this week is a bit blah but when you get to around the fifth episode, it just keeps getting better and better to the end.
