Our clan Christmas Days tend to follow much the same pattern of presents, food and noise, with the notable exception of the year we hosted an American sailor. I'm pretty sure his name was Wade and he was an aircraft mechanic from Iowa. How was it that we came to entertain a member of the miltary of a foreign power?
The first time Life on Mars was broadcast I was interested but had too many conflicts to watch it. I've just watched the repeat of the first episode and I am one happy camper.
Many thanks to doctor_k_ and strangedave for expressing enthusiasm and ensuring I got to meet DCI Hunt.
