Creator of cult series Life On Mars Matthew Graham has revealed that he is organising a mass fan rewatch of the show's opening episode.

With most of the world's population in lockdown due to coronavirus, fans of various TV shows have been streaming classic episodes at the exact same time and tweeting along live, often with executive producers or members of the cast joining in.

Life On Mars ran for two series and starred John Simm as a police officer who suffers a car crash, only to 'wake up' in the 1970s.

Writing on Twitter, Graham announced: "In the process of setting up a live tweet for ep1 of #lifeonmars by moi and @AJPharoah and kindly orchestrated and moderated by @NomadicWriter. Watch this space coz it'll be this week. #LifeOnMarsLive"

Life On Mars first aired on BBC One in 2006 and 2007 and was followed up by a spinoff series Ashes To Ashes as well as a US adaptation.
