life on mars character’s reactions to being asked their pronouns:

[looking-for-satellites]

I might just be really brain rotted but, I find it interesting that in Life On Mars 3 of the main characters might be named based off of a David Bowie song; of course Gene/ “Gene Genie” is based off of The Jean Genie, but there’s 2 Bowie songs with the names Sam/ Sammy and Annie in them.

In John, I’m Only Dancing it starts with “Well Annie’s pretty neat…” and references said girl named Annie through the chorus “John, I’m only dancing/ She turns me on/ but don’t get me wrong/ I’m only dancing”

And for Sam/ Sammy the song Scream Like A Baby mentions the name Sam quite a lot:

“But I remember Sam, ‘cause he was like me”

“Scream Like A Baby (scream like a baby)/ Sam was a gun (Sammy was a gun)”

“They came down harder on Sam/ and they all knew he was beat/ he was thrown into the wagon/ blindfolded, chains, and they stomped on us/ and took away our clothes and things/ and pumped us full of strange drugs/ and, oh, I saw Sam falling….”

“He just sat in the backseat swearing he’d seek revenge/ but he jumped into the furnace/ singing old songs he loved

Once again I might just be horribly brain rotted and they just chose those names cause why not 🙏

Was saved from the siren song of tiktok by this video getting muted for copyright. Thank you tony blair, you cunt 👍

A few notes under the cut for you:

Important disclaimer: I think Tony Blair especially and Gordon Brown much less so but also are bastards and I do not like them.

This video uses the actual font that the labour party uses! The font colour is slightly different though bc capcut doesn't allow you to type RGB or hex codes in. Yes I went onto labour's branding guide for this fan edit. God help me.

I have discovered a slightly unnerving skill I seem to have now, which is the ability to, at will, summon from my mind an episode and scene from life on mars matching every situation. I kept going through the getty image search for tony blair going "oh, he's on a bus there. Sam stands in front of a bus in the episode where they get taken hostage." GET OUT OF MY BRAIN

The first quote is from The End of the Party by Andrew Rawnsley and the photo of it is from this post as I don't have access to the book atm and I cba to pirate it. I'm also too much of a coward to ask for permission to use the photo and there is a non-zero chance OP'll see this. Hi 👋.

Second quote is from the Life on Mars pilot script. It is available online.

Last clip is from the Rory Bremner 1998 Channel 4 special "From Blair to Here". You can find it on youtube.

You guys don't understand how much I love Annie Cartwright. Yes, samgene is everything, but her relationship with Sam is just so sweetly done.

She's a BA in psychology, she's a policewoman in the freaking 70s UK and hands down the most competent person in greater Manchester region, she's smart, she's kind, she makes as much agency for herself as she can while being aware of structural problems of her time, and when she meets a bisexual man who claims he's from the future and in a coma she goes "how can I not fuck that". Icon.

I definitely come on here and say this every time I watch this episode, but the final roof scene in life on Mars gives me chills every single time with the music and the drama. it's just everything.
