Life on Mars (2006, UK)

[thekingofspin]

a year ago when me and my family got a dog and we were deciding what to name him I threw the name "sam" into the mix and everyone eventually agreed on that so now our dog is named Sam.

little did they know, at that time I had just started watching life on mars.

unbeknownst to my family, our dog is, has and always will be named after sam tyler.

Sammy <3

i need to be sedated

[incorrectquotesconaisseur]

I heard abt the whole cancelled lazarus script and I'm genuinely sooo sorry to hear that.

PLUS it's a huge fucking personal tragedy for me bc I genuinely had no idea abt this show until a few weeks ago and I found out that the BFI reading was on the 19th of November- ONE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY AND THIS IS SO FUCKED UP I curse myself for not hyperfixating on it sooner.

That being said - tysmm for all the information AND the warnings. I'm genuinely shaking in my boots at this point and I'm trying to plan my viewing schedule so that I won't watch the finale alone (I think I might need immediate emotional support).

I might POSSIBLY (very likely) have a breakdown when it's over so whoever wants to join me, I welcome you all >3

as the chance of series 3 of life on mars becomes more and more of a possibility, i can't help but feel more and more anxious about it

i'm in a minority who LOATHED the ending of LoM, and really really didn't like a2a (there are things i like about it, but i couldn't muscle past what bothered me about it)

so with how evident it is that this is intended to be the long-lost Proper Segue™️ from LoM to a2a, i'm really nervous about the material it's gonna go over, and im nervous about getting hurt as bad as i did the first time

sam tyler is the only fictional character i've ever genuinely grieved for. i'm talking all 5 stages, man. took me months (maybe even years) to recover

idk, all i'm sayin' is i'll probably wind up checking it out, but i'm gonna be going in SUPER cautious

Paul Copley and John Simm in Life on Mars (2006) S1E6

A hostage situation becomes increasingly more nerve-wracking for Sam when he discovers the hostage taker's deadline coincides with the time that his life support machine is due to be turned off in 2006. Meanwhile Annie gets sent into the room with the hostage taker, dressed as a nurse, in an attempt to gain information about the situation.

*Early in the episode, DI Tyler looks at his watch; it is an analog watch with a liquid crystal digital display which would not be available in 1973.

actually caring abt spoilers for once in your life vs the need to go scroll through the tumblr tag right this second

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

the nature of watching pre-2010 british television is that you will occasionally be jumpscared by jimmy saville when you least expect it

😭 at least I haven’t caved to watching old bad movies just because he’s in them!!! Is it my fault there’s way more people making gifsets of him than mark!!

Little White Chapel, 1301 Las Vegas Blvd - est. 1954

Photo c. '62. Unknown photographer, Roger-Viollet collection.

The chapel was built by Arvid and Neva Barnhart in 1954 and operated by Neva’s mother Lorene King in its early years. Charolette Richards bought the chapel from the Barnharts in ‘81, expanded in the 90s, and operated the chapel until selling to Vegas Weddings in 2022.

The original chapel built in 1954 still exists with several additions on the property in the Richards years: The flower shop next door was demolished in the late 80s and replaced in ‘91 with a small office building and the “Tunnel of Love” drive-through. In the mid 90s they acquired the neighboring property at 1299 LVBS and replaced it in ‘99 with a new chapel, flower shop, and office building.

Charolette Richards proved to be a master promoter. Her drive-through earned the chapel its fame. Other efforts included “A Little Chapel in the Sky” a hot-air balloon chapel, and weddings in a hospital, on a roller coaster, at the finish line of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and in a helicopter (“Too noisy, not a bit romantic,” she said). She was dubbed “Wedding Queen of the West” by Las Vegas Woman magazine in ‘92. Richards owned the chapel until 2022, and died in 2023.

About the opening date.

The chapel has used the tagline “since ‘51” in recent years. Barnhart family states the chapel was built in 1954, a date supported by all of the earliest public records of the chapel. Whether the chapel was built from an existing house is unclear. Clark County’s Assessor record dates the chapel even later at ‘55.

Charolette Richards was ex-wife of Merle Richards who owned Little Church of the West until the 80s. Mr. and Mrs. Richards also opened Algiers’ Little Church. Mrs. Richards many interviews often blurred the details of her long history in the chapel business. Some of the reports have erroneously stated that Richards opened the chapel. In an interview with Vintage Las Vegas in 2021, she could not recall the date she bought the chapel. The Barnhart family stated the chapel was sold to Richards in ‘81.
