Bravo scores 'Life On Mars' repeats
Bravo has won a fierce bidding war for the secondary rights to cult drama Life On Mars.

The show stars John Simm as Sam Tyler, a young detective who wakes up in '70s Britain after being knocked down in a car accident. The first series drew over 7 million viewers to BBC One earlier this year.

“Life on Mars is the stand out drama series of 2006," said Jonathan Webb, Bravo's director of programmes. "It's a fantastic show – full of warmth and with great on screen chemistry."

Bravo plans to re-run the series in the Autumn, in advance of the second series airing on BBC One next January.

A US version of the show is also in development for ABC.
