Definitely not. Another lift from another forum thread:
Was the testcard girl switching off Sam's life at the very end?

Exactly, I was only answering Rob's post as in what he said was flawed.

Re: life on mars
Thought it was a good ending, it clearly left it open for a "new" series. Perhaps a spin off with Sam & the Gene policing old Salford. If the writers have any sense that is.

Re: life on mars
Now with the possibility of a sequel, Ashes to Ashes, featuring Gene Hunt, it's going to be a major story line to get a figment of Sam's imagination (yes, that's the way that I have took it  ) to go off on his own, without Sam. Can someone go off and do there own thing, in Sam's brain?

Re: life on mars
Ashes to Ashes is definitely happening. Ashley Pharoah said on Radio 5 this afternoon that shooting was starting later this year...

Do us all a favour and get a copy of the Manchester Evening News tomorrow - apparently they have an exclusive interview.

"Life on Mars sequel jumps to '80s"
Quote:
A sequel to TV drama Life on Mars is to be made with the action moving to the 1980s, it has been confirmed.
The announcement was made as the second and final series of Life on Mars - in which a modern police officer was trapped in 1973 - came to an end.
The sequel, Ashes to Ashes, will see Philip Glenister return as DCI Gene Hunt - but this time in London in 1981.
He will be joined by a female detective from the 21st Century who is stuck in the past after an accident.
(snip)
Jane Featherstone, executive producer for TV production company Kudos, said the search was on for DCI Hunt's new "sexy sidekick".
"It's a touch of Moonlighting teamed with a measure of Miami Vice," she said.

Re: life on mars
Nice that for once a series is not allowed to drag on and on and finishes on a high and gets people thinking. 
Reminds me of The Prisoner in that respect.Short,well written episodes and series that finished ambiguously and everyone was discussing it down the pub for days...if not decades later.

Re: life on mars
have to say the more I hear about Ashes to Ashes the less I like it.. again it's someone in the present going into a coma and ten going back in time
it's too similar to LOM and will end up being like a rubbish sequel.. why not just use Gene Hunt and all the others and then put them in the 80s and leave it at that

Re: life on mars
Absolutely Briliant !!! 100% Quality !
This was one of the best TV series in history !!!
The ending was amazing.
I kept on wondering when it was going to end. Especially with the music coming in several times, I thought that was it.
eg. When he saw the light in the tunnel, when he was walking around in the present, or when he jumped off the roof.
It just kept on going on and on and I was really happy when he came back to 1973 again.

I have to disagree. Too many TV shows end in this mystery style where you never find out an ending or have to work it out yourself. Here, there was a conclusion.
I'm really glad that Sam and Annie got together in the end. It was about time they kissed.
A few little things that I wondered about....
Why did Sam not tell Morgan about Ipod's and Mobile phones, Computers, when trying to tell him he was from the future....Had he forgotten about these things ?
If he is now back in 1973, what happens to his thoughts about the modern world.
A few episodes back he persuaded the girl to keep the baby who once born and grown up becomes a police officer and dates Sam.
By the time she is old enough, Sam will be much older so who will it be that she will be dating ? Is there another Sam Tyler ?
Or will this have changed history and they will no longer meet.
Overall, excellent TV !!! I loved it.
