There was one good scene in US Life on Mars a couple of weeks ago when the American writing team was let loose on an original story (admittedly with some elements from a second-season UK episode). Just as Nicholas Lyndhurst went back to the 1940s in Goodnight Sweetheart and passed off Beatles’ and others’ tunes as his own, Jason O’Mara as Sam Tyler has a chance to rap some Vanilla Ice in 1973:

[this is good]

That scene was hysterical. It took me a second to figure out what he was "rapping". Too funny.

I had been wondering when we would see a scene like this. We didn’t in the original series. Not unlike Michael J. Fox performing ‘Johnny B. Goode’ in Back to the Future!
