Life on Mars 2 by Guy Adams
Few television dramas in recent years have made such an impact with critics and fans alike as BBC One's award-winning Life on Mars.

Where volume one of THE OFFICIAL COMPANION explored in detail the genesis and making of the show, volume two takes the story of this ground-breaking series to its conclusion with a range of features from views on how it ended to the making of a legend in the character of Gene Hunt.
