I know Life on Mars is over now, but I was just reading an article about it on wikipeida, and it stated:
[WIKIPEDIA]Minor historical anachronisms such as this are apparent throughout Life on Mars. Some, as above, were made out of artistic licence whilst others were deliberately inserted to confuse the issue of whether Sam Tyler was in a dream or had gone back in time. Many anachronistic slips however, such as visible modern street furniture (e.g. cable television cabinets, satellite television dishes, CCTV cameras, and double-glazed uPVC window frames), were unintentional.[29] In the DVD commentaries for the series the programme makers acknowledge these as errors but also point out they are in fact perfectly feasible, given Sam's situation.[20] As the popularity of the series grew, the hunting of such anachronisms became a favourite pastime among Life on Mars fans."[[/WIKIPEDIA]
And this made me think. Since a lot of the episodes are uploaded onto YouTube, how about we have ago at finding some. When you find one, post the video on this thread, and tell us what the anachronism is. And oh yeah, tell us what time in the video to find it aswell, otherwise we don't get to see it. However, if you don't want to go through all that, just post a picture of that precise moment in the film, and circle the anachronism!
