Watching Life on Mars for the millionth time, and yet again thinking about how funny a crossover episode with Endeavour would be.

Both 1970’s set police shows. Incredibly different universes.

It's 1980. The night before a big rain storm. The night before Sam's car skids into the canal. ...Except Sam opens a fob watch. A fan comic.

Chapter 2 will take place in 2007, after the 'death' of Harold Saxon.

So, this is just a fun little project I decided to do in my spare time :) It's not Ashes to Ashes complaisant, I'll admit that way way way back when Ashes first started airing, I was pretty salty about the explanation that Sam died in a car accident. I know how that show ended, and what they decided to go with, but I'm still just ignoring it all together. I guess this could be a 'fix it,' I'm not sure. Just suspend your disbelief. I'm going to estimate that chapter 2 will take about two months to finish, depending on my real life work load, but the script is already written.

me when an english tv ahow from tbe early 2000s has john simm acting his ass off and being vaguely (not even vaguely sometimes) gay w his narrative foil and they influence each other so inextricably and fundamentally and john simm’s characters “death” (?) fucks the other up so much and the shows involve time travel to some degree and theyre antagonistic to each other but deep down care for each other so much and theres a “betrayal” w a gun being pointed at the other but it turns out alr in thw end and john simms character has hallucinations that arwnt rly hallucinations and —

I don't understand how people watch life on mars, see sam tyler die bc of listening to david bowie, centering the whole story around a david bowie song, giving sam a boyfriend best friend VERY STRAIGHT AND MACHO BOSS whose name is based on a david bowie song, making sam a canon david bowie fan and STILL not see how that boy is the most bisexual to ever bisexual

Decided to make a Life on Mars/Doctor Who crossover comic, about Sam being the Master, that no one asked for and is about 15 years too late 😂

Chapter 1 is almost done, I’ll hopefully have it posted here and on AO3 in the next week. Thinking of naming it “Sam Tyler Doesn’t Exist.” First chapter will stand alone, but I’ve written a script for a second chapter already. Mostly ignores Ashes to Ashes, and anything after series 4 of Doctor Who.

Gosh!

might be for a small audience, but here is every instance of bastard/bastards said in Life on Mars

Life on Mars finishes with 57 "bastard(s)" across 2 series: 5 in series 1, 52 in series 2. an average of 3.6 bastards an episode across both series, and 6.5 bastards an episode across s2 alone

s2e3 has the highest rate of "bastards" with 11, 19.3% of all bastards coming from this episode

Gene Hunt takes up 54.4% of all bastards with 31 in total
