While watching TV tonight, we saw a totally retro promo for the American version of the British TV series, Life on Mars, about a police detective who goes back in time to 1973 after being hit by a car. The promo even features what sounds like Ernie Anderson doing the voiceover. Anderson, the iconic 1970s/80s ABC TV promo announcer, has been dead for 11 years, so I don’t know who they got to copy his voice.

There’s even a retro version of the ABC logo at the end. Awesome.

2 drops of oil

  1. Also sounded like the music was from “The Streets of San Francisco” (which I hear might be redone and updated).
