I'm of a generation that used to dress like they do in this programme, and I used to own a Mark 3 Cortina. A time with no mobile 'phones, credit cards, laptops, X- boxes, D.V.D.'s or even video recorders. If you're of my generation, tell me... How did we survive?

Wonderful awful diabolical cloths, but just the business. My hubby almost collapsed when he saw me in my hot-pants in psychedelic colours, my kids just disowned me. We did our own thing without everyone breathing down our necks all the time.
What about the hairs styles , they were something else as was medallion man and the long Russian style coats with a fur ruffles at the collar.
Wonderful programme and authentic to the letter. Even Oldham's town hall relic of the fifties is featured in all it's pitiful glory.
PS what about the bench seats in the Cortina many a baby conceived on those car seats.

I was 20 in 1970, and I had just got my first flat away from the parents. I loved the late 60s and 70s, happiest years of my life. Life was a lot harder then but its all we knew. If I'm to be honest I prefered it as the worlds not a nice place anymore. I still have some of my orignal clothes from back then, my youngest daughter now wears them with pride, telling everyone ' yep this is an orignal not a poor copy '. bless her, oh to be that age again.

well how did sam intially get back to 73? a coma so he jumped off the building to get back.. he's probably in hospital in the 2000's .. but back in 73-74 he's well.. I didn't relise his g/f in the show was the girl from east is east.. sam being the master in doctor who = ODD... new series coming soon, not life on mars... and they are in london I heard, Gene hunt n the boys are back , this time with a woman though.. I would buy the box set, but its stupidly over priced.. so i'll wait for it to drop a LOT in price. I was born in 73, so the 80's one should be funny to watch. Yes there was life before the internet.. hehe, I'm glad I was born PRE it, things were different and we used to have 3 tv channels etc.. *cues music from hovis ad*

I remember the attire but was too Young to drive. And am eagerly awaiting the second season. All show should be like that with a set time run. A beginning and an end. Not some great mystery that never gets resolved because it gets cancelled.

I just love that programme because I'm 17 again when I watch it, the clothes were brilliant even if funny looking now, the music was brilliant, life was so carefree in those days, oh I think we survived very well, we knew how to have fun more in those days.

Hi my partner is a cop and also about the same age to remember the stuff like he said he always wanted the car tonight in the second episode (we turned over to bbc4) I had to laugh when the fella pinched female cops ****, and that would never happen now, thank God. Yes I remember lots of bits and bobs ( born 69) like the evening news sellers. We also live here in manchester so are always pointing out bits of Town we recognise. It is very good.

Hi, I was born in 74 and have only seen bits of Life on Mars as I didn't see the first couple of episodes....
I saw the beginning tonight with the Rag and Bone Man and had a surreal trip back in time... mentioned it to my husband (born 73!) and found out that his village had one too....
I suppose he's been replaced by ebay!!

It's funny you know, as a similar trhing happened to me when I was in a coma. The difference was that I became a 1970's male porn star with a big moustache and a cheesy grin and I didnt want to go back.

I was 20 in 1973, wore flared jeans and Indian embroidered t-shirts, hair down to me waist, left home for the first time and used to hang out at Leeds University union trippin' and stoned. Didn't need video games when we had LSD......lol
