Life on Mars is a TV series that was made a long time ago and is currently available to stream or possibly to watch on BBC iPlayer ( this may be incorrect as it’s Saturday night and my level of concentration is poor anyway, as I normally listen to music). Where was I? Oh, I am still here. It’s 2006, and Sam Tyler, a Detective, is involved in a car accident and wakes up in the year 1973 and finds he is still working for the police.
Has he time-traveled? Is he in a coma that he can’t break out of?
It’s a very clever storyline with lots of twists, cleverly arranged, and the backdrop from that period is very well done.
It’s a slow burner, but well worth spending time watching.
So the Prince has been caught with his trousers down and has been stripped of nearly all his titles, but still lives in a massive house with his ex-wife, Sarah. Why do two people need a house that can hold twenty?
And who pays the rent? I do, and sixty million other taxpayers. Call me mean, but I know a prefab in Portobella that has just become vacant, with off-road parking for a small car, a small fish pond (gold-fish bowl), and really good neighbors, apart from Biffo Floyd, the ex-boxer who hates Royals. But as long as you adopt a black country accent as soon as you can, you will be fine. Oh, keep out of the way of the Scottish man, Mac Donnald Hammish, he hates people with a black country accent.
I will make the arrangement on Monday, and to help you even more, I will look after that big old house for you free of charge.
