Everything was perfect - the story line, the characters, the calibre of actors and actressess, the costumes and the scenery. Sorry to say this - but no hollywood productions can ever equal or be compared to a BBC Serial or Drama.

I loved ‘Life On Mars’. In fact I only bothered to watch this because Philip Glenister was in it & I fancied Gene Hunt !! I didn’t think I’d enjoy it in 1,000,000 years. What a great series. I loved the medieval songs in it (what IS that tune played at the May Day celebrations ?? I love it.) & would luv to be able to dress & behave like that. I live in a village myself & the way the women reacted to things then remind me of it. (Wish Mr. Carter could turn up in my village saying "you sent for me, my lady" ! Life’s not fair!)

The casting is brilliant and the acting outstanding. The series filled me with giddy delight, saddness and a sleepless night. There must be a second season!!

All the characters seem so plausible, real and alive, that now the series has ended, I feel I have lost old friends! What a credit to the acting abilities - every single one of them. Please please can we have more? We are now inspired enough to go in search of the Mrs Gaskell novels. Congratulations to the production team and all involved in such a fine British drama!
