'Tony Mammoth' ( Mike Bubbins ) is a gym teacher who has been frozen since 1979 and has been thawed out in the 21st century. Unsurprisingly, he is baffled by everything he sees. It is hard to know where to start with this one. For one thing, Mammoth himself is very much a 21st century person's idea of what a 1979 man is like. A real person of that age would not be perplexed at the idea of British television having more than three channels; he'd be annoyed that the new ones all tend to be full of mindless garbage. Also, sexism, racism and homophobic attitudes are not exclusive to the 1970's; a quick trawl through the cesspit of hate that is social media will reveal that those unacceptable attitudes are still with us. The rebranding of Marathon chocolate as 'Snickers' would not be be much of a wrench to anyone who remembers the change-over to decimal currency. Mobile phones and home computers? People lived happily for years without those things. What you have never had, you don't miss. Mr. Bubbins cannot blame the writers for this farrago of nonsense; he wrote it and acted ( if that's the word ) in it. A failure twice over. This programme is nothing more than a feeble rehash of those annoying 'let's make fun of the past' shows that have been stinking up the airwaves for years now. It is time to say enough is enough and move on.

It's slow going but a rather intriguing concept.

Would rather it was closer to the bone in regard to the values of the 1970's against today's values, but a great pilot non the less.

Hopefully it will get picked up as a series.

A man, bought back from the dead, 40- odd years after dieieng on an avalanche. Trying to understand the LBTGQ, diverse life we live in now, which has changed so fast, our brains cannot adapt fast enough- do we have drugs, ADHD medications to stop the pain.

In a mk1 Capri, classic which must have cost thousands- I had a mk2, rear wheel drive, no power steering or leccy windows.

His fashion is spot on, the music/soundtrack follows the times.

It's a genius series, Life on Mars is similar, though that was a cop show. A precursor maybe?

A man struggling, from the past in the modern world. Funnier, and more immediate than the former, in the short time since the end of LoM the world has changed even more.
