i just started into watching the second half of the second season of my new favorite tv show, the bbc's life on mars.

it starts off w/hallucinations and a soundtrack by everyones favorite 70s space rock outfit hawkwind. i can't place the song, but it's as obvious as the roaming boils on lemmy's face that that's who it is. if you're keeping score i beleive this would be the third time their music has been used.

i think these have been my favorite images from a show full of favorite images.

i'll be sad when i'm done watching these last four episodes.

did anyone catch the leaked fist episode of the n.american version of the show? does anyone know if it's going to be a straight copy or are they going to pull some kind of bullshit move and wreck it like stephen king did when he decided to adapt the incredible kingdom and made the horrific kingdom hospital mini-series out of it.

have you seen any tv serials by dennis potter? especially the singing detective or pennies from heaven. totally random but i think you'd like them.

did kingdom hospital have like...a ghostly anteater sidekick or something like that? if so yeah it was pretty bad.

i've heard the singing dectetive is good. maybe i'll dive into that next. thanks for pointing me there.

i saw pennies from heaven years ago and loved it. i think steve martins' version of the song is heart wrenching. somewhere around here i have both the soundtrack and the book (unread).

i didn't know the two were related.

re: anteater. yeah, that's the one. wretched bad. watch the original, simply called kingdom, if you already haven't.

i haven't seen the steve martin version, i heard it was really good though. although i understand that the film version of the singing detective was NOT good at all...look into the original bbc miniseries of the two, they're like 6 hours each but are just amazing. dennis potter is pretty great it's my slightly apathetic mission to see all of his stuff.
