| Mars landing: in Manchester |
Both series of Life on Mars have been filmed in and around Manchester with a number of regular locations being used including Stockport Council offices as the outside of the police station used by the A Division CID team. But do you know the boozer where Sam and Gene and the boys go drinking? And what about the morgue? We reveal some of the locations below. Others include streets in Bolton, Rochdale and the city centre. If you recognise a Life on Mars location that we don鈥檛 know about - maybe you saw them filming - use the form below to tell us. Life on Mars - Series 2, Episode 1A Division is joined by Supt. Harry Woolf as they investigate a series of armed robberies. DCI Gene Hunt, keen to impress his superior, heads straight for chief suspect Arnold Malone who tips them off on a post office raid. But when Sam and Gene arrest expert safe cracker Dickie Fingers, he makes a shocking allegation which turns the investigation on its head.
