Life On Mars/Wizard Of Oz

[spudqueen]

Did anyone else spot the Wizard of Oz connection? Somewhere Over The Rainbow was one of last nights songs, when he woke up from his coma he had been dreaming about his Doctor (just like Dorothy did about the farmhands who became the Tinman, Scarecrow and Lion) and his Doctor/boss from Hyde was called Frank Morgan - which is the name of the actor who played the Wizard of Oz in the 1939 film.

Well spotted spudqueen. This could generate as much discussion as "The Prisoner" - another superb series.

I only spotted it because I read about it in the Radio Times a few days earlier..lol.

Not forgetting that he called Sam Dorothy last night plus all his previous references to "friends of Dorothy" when calling him gay. Do you reckon Chris was the scarecrow (didn't have a brain") ..........

There's an earlier question in this section about Red Dwarf and The Wizard Of Oz.So many things reference.
