Life on Mars trailer

Just in case there is anyone on my flist who will understand this but has not seen it yet -- there is a Life on Mars trailer, in the style of Camberwick Green. Some kind soul has uploaded it to youtube (thanks to glitterboy1 for the link:

Translation for the Americans -- Camberwick Green is a BBC children's series that will be familiar to the target age group for Life On Mars (i.e. those of us old enough to remember 70s cop shows from the first time round, if possibly not very old at the time). That trailer is a perfect pastiche of the opening credits. You may insert various sounds of squeeing approval here.

The BBC have really done it proud this time (last year, I nearly missed the whole thing because the trailer was so off-putting). And at this page (http://www.bbc.co.uk/lifeonmars/backstage/downloads.shtml), they're offering wallpapers, screensavers, and ringtones including Gene shouting "Pick up the bleedin' phone!"

I fear that Gene saying "spread 'em" may prove too tempting for certain segments of the population...

Oh, that's very clever! And I love the voice-over.
