For all those who are wondering, "What the heck is this?", Ashes to Ashes is a
sequel the popular British television drama series Life on Mars. If you don't
know what Life on Mars is, well, maybe this show isn't for you.

You should really watch Life on Mars first...Knowing the characters help with
the humour and you should really watch Life on Mars

Put your head in this scenario...

\"I know what Star Wars is but I never saw it does this mean that The Empire
Strikes Back is not for me ether ??\"

If you don\'t like one you wont like the other. The second can be watched without
the first, but will make SO much less sense. None of the acting in either is
rubbish - it perfectly matches the purpose of each film. That is why even though
you\'ve never actually seen it everyone in the know is constantly talking about
it. If you get it, it will be your biggest treasure, if you don\'t get it you
will never understand what all the fuss was about.

It goes straight to 700mb because this is a premium show, not too many episodes,
and if you appreciate it enuff to d/l it you will appreciate it more in the
better bitrate :-) It also better supports TV usage where it looks far superior,
especially on higher def larger panels.

I thought Life on Mars was vastly overrated but I gave this ago and found it to
be just the same.

The only difference this series has is that she's aware of her situation.

well its actually mostly because river is following the older unwritten uk tv
encoding where if a show is 52+ min you encode at 700mb regardless of
53min or 85min

but i'm not complaining because it does look quite good, i'm just wondering
whats the dimensioning point for a ws.pdtv source 640x352 xvid where the quality
is at its best for the res used at a certain bitrate.

Life on Mars was probably the best cop show ever created. So I'll give this a
go, too.

I loved Life on Mars but it's too bad the creators behind this one clearly
havn't done their homework. Who ever heard of a whiteboard in 1981. Makes me
wonder what else they've overlooked.

Life on Mars was an awsome show, and it looks like Ashes to Ashes is going to
be following right in it's foot steps.

Um, they were invented in the 60s! True they, didn't catch on for a while, but I
certainly remember at least seeing them by the late 70s. Of course I don't live
in the UK, but since the company that invented them does...
