The phone lines at Kudos Productions have been jammed all week with people wanting to know if Sam Tyler was actually dead. The last episode of Life On Mars saw Sam jump of a building and return to the 70s, but it left a lot of confused people who didn’t know what had actually happened.

The Mirror asked writer Matthew Graham to explain and he stated:

“What I was trying to say is that he’s died, and that for however long that last second of life is going to be, it will stretch out for an age, as an eternity for Sam. When he drives off in that car, he’s really driving off into the afterlife.”

Awwww, no chance of a new series then….
