Continuity mistake: In the episode about the Asian drug dealers, when Sam is tied to a bed and an iron is roped to his chest, the ropes change position depending on the camera angle.
Life on Mars (2006)
1 continuity mistake in show generally
Starring: John Simm, Philip Glenister, Dean Andrews, Liz White
Other mistake: The registration number of the Ford Zephyr police car is RVP154G but the security etching on the window reads EKM414C.
Trivia: Chris is in front of and to the left of the camera, which is on Sam as he runs up and they have a 10 second dialogue. Sam then turns round and runs back the way he came, shouting "Annie". The camera tracks to follow him and at the very last moment Chris is forced to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. (If you listen to the audio commentary you can hear the producer laughing about this). (00:40:25)
Question: When Sam reads someone their rights why does someone else tell him he's saying it wrong? This happens few times in different episodes.

Chosen answer: Sam is using the modern wording of the right-to-silence caution prescribed by legislation such as the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. In the 1970s, the wording would have been different, if it was used at all.
