Also, the actor himself was v. cute in the Confidential, which is completely beside the point, and yet, true.
He startled me in the Confidential. I thought he was very different IRL. What with the scruffy, the hair and the not being evil.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

So I just finished the first season of Life on Mars, and holy crap, is that an excellent show. (Also, John Simm is my new teevee boyfriend.) I love how ambiguous the plot is -- there's no clear goal for Sam, anymore than there's a clear explanation for what's happened to him, so he gets his hopes up over and over, only to have them dashed. Still, though, I'm dying to know why he's really there! Must watch season 2 right now.
edit: I went looking for past Boxed Set threads to see what people had said about Life on Mars already, and I can't find the old threads! I've checked the Closed Threads folder, the Film & TV discussion folder, and the Archives page. What am I overlooking?

Kate! I just finished the first season just now! Are we British TV twins or what?

I think it was discussed a bit all over, Kate. Check out Unamerican for sure.
ETA: They're all in the Closed TV threads section.

Kate, I'm passing on Vonnie's rec of this awesome vid. You've got to watch it, seriously. It's one of the coolest vids I've ever seen.

Has anyone else seen this take on Tony Blair's response to political obsolescence?

I'm guessing that's the Dead Ringers thing with David Tennant, right?
I don't think anyone's mentioned thatthe Doctor's new squeeze is Jessica Stevenson/Hynes from Spaced!
Um, I did, Polter-Cow, in my very first post on the episode. S'okay, just go on ignoring me.... I thought she was great in this too.
Re the Jeremy Baines actor - he also plays Will Scarlett in the new BBC Robin Hood, which airs in the Doctor Who slot during the summer. Check out this picture. He's unrecognisable (and HOTTT!). Also, I just thought he was excellent, full stop, didn't find him bug-eyed at all. Quite underplayed and just very creepy. As ita points out, he was a bit weird beforehand anyway.
Edit: oooh, missed my birth-year by one post.

Rock on! What did you think of it? Thanks for the vid rec; I'm downloading it now.
They're all in the Closed TV threads section.
Oh, duh, I forgot there was a separate folder for closed TV threads. Thanks!
