Did you see the publicity photo of Jason O'Meara and Colm Meaney and two others for the cast of the Americanized "Life On Mars"? Colm might as well be the Gene Genie's identical cousin!

Reading of all the turmoil going on to bring this show to the air, and just my own prejudiced POV because I loved the original so much, I think one of the headlines after this premieres will be:

Sky One's Empire was a bit poor, wasn't it?
Warship got a lot better and more focused as the series went on, so I'd recommend catching it on re-runs if you can since it's worth sticking with to the end.
