The Life on Mars drinking game

Every popular TV series and film seems to have an Internet drinking game. We have a bash at the Life on Mars boozorama

Published on Apr 25, 2007

Booze was an integral part of the triumphant BBC time travel series Life on Mars. Whatever case they were facing, no matter how close the deadline, the coppers would always be doing their finest work down The Railway Arms.

So we though we'd have a go at commemorating the series by inventing our own Life on Mars drinking game.

That Life on Mars drinking game in full:

Insert DVD of any Life on Mars episode into player
When a character on the telly has a drink, you have to match it like for like
When someone shouts 'PUB' pause the DVD, go to the pub, down 2 pints and return
Unpause the DVD and carry on until episode ends or you fall over unconscious

For added fun finish whatever drink you're holding when the Gene Genie utters a great one-liner (eg "She's as nervous as a very small nun on a penguin shoot")

We'll be testing this Life on Mars drinking game ourselves shortly. Watch this space for 'an hilarious video' of the results.

1. Get hit by a car and mysteriously transported back to a cliche of 1973 2. Bury bottles of booze in places that will be significant to you in the future 3. Upon returning home to 2007, if you ever left, impress your friends with an uncanny ability to be able to magic up a bottle at precisely the right time; take care to cover all possible routes from work-home, and pub-home. 4. Run out of booze 5. Suffer an existential crisis, eventually resulting in you throwing yourself off a tall building in Manchester. 6. Return back to 1973, place bets on the next 4 FA Cup finals - and then put it all on Ipswich to beat Arsenal 1-0 in 1978... 7. Retire to the Bahamas, safe in the knowledge that forever more, you\'ll be dining out on the suffering of Arsenal fans. 8. Buy half of Docklands - just for a nest egg. How\'s that?
