When the last episode was on TV, dd was taken to hospital so never got to see it. I’ve been avoiding all threads mentioning it, all newspapers and anything suspiciously looking like a Mars comment 
Packed the babies to bed, chucked DP out the house, got the bottle of wine and got myself comfortable in front of the laptop.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, anyone else disappointed?
I’m glad it tied up some of the loose ends, but frustrated that they have so obviously left it open for another series. 
I feel cheated they are going to drag this on (Note to self…RTL get a life!!!)
In fact on checking the BBC website found this
Filming on the new series starts in Manchester in April 2006 and continues until September. The show will be shown on BBC ONE in 2007, although an exact transmission date will not be decided upon until around the time of broadcast.
Also returning are Liz White as the intelligent and resourceful WPC Annie Cartwright, Dean Andrews as recently demoted DC Ray Carling and Marshall Lancaster as the keen to learn DC Chris Skelton.
Jane Featherstone, co-executive producer of Life On Mars and joint MD of Kudos, who make the programme, says: "We are delighted to be returning to 1973 where we can join Sam and Gene in putting on our flares and revving up the Cortina.
"Audiences seem to have really taken to the two detectives and their chalk and cheese approach to policing.
"Some of their theories as to what has really happened to Sam have been intriguing and, hopefully, they will be equally fascinated to see what is in store for Sam, Gene and the rest of CID in this new instalment."
