TV Karma-coma
The last episode of Life on Mars turned out to be another viewer torture, broadcaster-money spinner just like Lost . As soon as the penultimate scene came on I was satisfied of guessing how it was going to end i.e. as soon as Sam Tyler 's father shot him he would wake up from the coma - but that didn't happen so slightly annoyed we'd have to wait until next year to know how it ends. Let's hope they don't spin it out for multiple series' with more repressed memories to explain. At least there'll be more Gene Hunt , what a character! Spotted a classic scenery clanger - Whilst the Sam was waiting in the car for his father, the reflection in the window saw the house opposite with a satellite dish. Recorded Snuffbox last night and watched the first few minutes. Wasn't that impressed but not willing to write it off just yet.
