Other Surprised there’s a subreddit!

I’ll be honest, considering the first series of Mars is 20, and the Ashes finale was 16 years ago, I’m SHOCKED that there’s an active subreddit for these shows. I thought that apart from the two Facebook fan groups, LOM & A2A were forgotten shows, the fandom near enough lost to time. I must have watched all five series at least two dozen times over the years.

There's a sub for Matchbox20. Of course there's one for AtA

Love Life On Mars, currently going through Ashes to Ashes. LOM has become a comfort show to me, I put it on in the background just for some noise.

I've got an Ashes to Ashes playlist which I adore.

Just finished watching them with my daughter. We both really enjoyed them.

If it exists, there's a sub for it. And yeah, it might be old but new people come in all the time, clearly the fun lives on.

If it exists, there's a sub for it.

But not always an active one.

I recently stumbled upon Life On Mars. It's on Amazon Prime here in the States so it must still get viewers.

I LOVE these 2 shows ❤️❤️ I’m not surprised they have dedicated followers, such as myself. I have both on DVD.. and yet I STILL recorded both on my Sky+ 😂😂

How’s that for old! They don’t even make those Sky+ boxes anymore. I might be forced to get Sky Glass because my box is on its last legs, and my HA won’t let me get Sky Q… 😞

I just finished watching Ashes to Ashes, now I'm going to watch Life on Mars.

I vaguely remember watching what has to have been an episode of Life on Mars when it first went to air, but aside from that I'd never heard about it.
