You thought all the fuss about Life On Mars would be over yesterday, didn’t you? Ha! Not on your life (on Mars or anywhere else). Not when the BAFTA nominations have been announced and it leads the pack with three nominations.
Yes, Life On Mars appears in the Best Actor category, where John Simm is nominated; in the Best Drama Series category, where it’s up against Sugar Rush, The Street and Shameless; and, as we told you last month, for the Pioneer Audience Award.
