The IMDb for instance only lists the shorter versions for the reruns on another network. But like I said, the reports about that are different. Here's what we could figure out: according to different reports, the shortened versions were shown when the series premiered on the BBC. Nut it turns out it's not that simple even though a reconstruction of the events is impossible because we couldn't get hold of the TV Versions. Often could be read that the shorter version is a so-called "Euro Version", which was produced for other European countries (which could also be read in the old intro here), and that the Original Version was produced exclusively for the UK market.
Furthermore some of the escpecially in the US TV critical dialogs and nudity scenes were cut out. Just like other TV series, BBC 2 produced two versions of Life On Mars: an Original Version for the UK market and a shorter version for the TV broadcast to have more slots for commercials. However, if someone prefers the CSI style with a lot of special effects, this might be a bit boring for him and he should not bother watching it. Additionally, the soundtrack always features the apt rock music of the area. The producers of the series paid a lot of attention to the small details, which makes it really great to watch. One of the most interesting characters is Gene Hunt, who constantly makes cynical remarks and quite often approaches his job the tough and brutal way. It does not contain a lot of action but it is really interesting to see the cops do their work without modern technologies. Whoever is into British humor and likes the typical Seventies style should check this series out. Is he in a coma? Or crazy? Or did he really travel in time? Sam tries to answere these questions and at the same time has to solve some difficult cases with his new boss Gene Hunt.
After an accident during an investigation in 2006 Detective Sam Tyler suddenly awakes in the year 1973.
The BBC production Life on Mars is an interesting mix of a crime story and time traveling themes.
