Tyler deals with his father Vic, who is mixed up in a mob kidnapping just days before his own son's fateful fourth birthday party. The BBC stated that Life on Mars was targeted at an adult audience, and argued that Hunt's characterisation was "extreme and tongue-in-cheek".In Australia the original British version was broadcast on ABC1 from 20 May 2007, with the second following during February 2008.

She looks directly into the camera before reaching out and "switching off" the television the viewer is watching, signifying that Sam's life has come to an end.
