"So it seems that the American remake of the BBC Life On Mars television series is to go ahead despite a pilot that received very dubious reviews at the time. The big news though is that Colm Meaney is no longer attached to the project as Gene Hunt and instead Harvey Keitel is taking on that role. Now part of the reason I was prepared to give the remake a chance was because of Meaney who is an actor I enjoyed from his Star Trek days but Keitel is definitely a coup. As I understand it this will be his first stint as a television regular and he is an actor of enormous quality. I look forward to seeing what he does with the role. On the other hand, I remain concerned about the American Sam and Annie - they are so far divorced from the British series based on the scenes I saw that I cannot imagine them working half as well. "

""Pure Dream" television.. brilliant and brave, a subversive piece of T.V art...expertly carved -out over two seasons,"Life On Mars" was and is everything that makes the BBC still great,and worth every penny of the T.V. license fee.. A U.S version has long been talked about.Should be good. The thing is,why bother? We lap up the H.B.O. content without question,why does something this good have to be "re-made" for the American market?...nevermind "shoulder to shoulder" we are often "joined at the hip" culturally. The main character appears to ,ultimately confirm what many of us would affirm,that dreams are often preferable to reality..and then ,of course,this is a T.V character,inhabiting a fiction... His and our guide is the" test card "girl!... "He's in the best selling show"....ANYTHING is possible...overall this left me feeling , by turns ,uplifted,contemplative and melancholy... "
