The British TV series Life on Mars, which won the British Television Academy Award and the International Emmy Award, premiered on the BBC in June 2006. The themes of this series are science fiction (especially time travel) and gangster movies. The main role is Sam Taylor (John Simm), the chief inspector of Manchester Police Department. He returned to 1973 because of a car accident in 2006, where he met another protagonist of the film, philip glenister, chief inspector of the Criminal Investigation Department of Manchester and salford Police Department, and became one of his detectives. Throughout the whole drama, Taylor is confronted with various cultural differences, the most obvious of which is reflected in the different ways he and his colleagues handle cases. A mystery runs through the whole series, that is: Did Taylor really travel back in time? Or was he in a coma because of a car accident in 2006, and everything was just a dream when he was in a coma? Or is he a mental patient of 1973?

At the end of the first season, Sam met his father 33 years ago and tried to get everything back to normal by keeping him, but the result was disappointing. In the second season, Sam will continue to seek the truth. At the end of this season, he will explain Sam's time journey. Is he in a coma, crazy or really back in the past? And where will his relationship with policewoman Anne Cartwright go?

From the initial struggle to the later compromise, Sam Taylor gradually got used to the old-fashioned technology and old-fashioned attitude towards life. He believes that as long as he can find his way back to the past, he can also go back to his original home.

This play is based on David Bowie's song Life on Mars? This song played a vital role in the film. When Sam was in a car accident in 2006, this song was playing on his iPod. 1973 woke up, and this song was also playing on the tape in the car. Actor John Simm described the style of the play as between Back to the Past and Tiger Wing Group. This play is a tribute to the traditional police film. Through the post-modern techniques and techniques in the 1970s, this film successfully depicts a lost time traveler, makes a traditional and modern trip, and forms a unique scheme.
