Life on Mars (2006)

There is sexualised female nudity in many scenes throughout the programme in the form of pin up pornography on the walls and lockers of the police office. They are often deliberately placed in shot so they can be seen by the viewer. The intent is to showcase the rife misogyny of the police team. Sometimes the image is blurred or not in clear view, other times it takes up a larger part of the shot and is clearly visible. Breasts and sometimes a full female frontal nudity is shown.

Every episode has multiple occurences of male police officers sexually harassing women. This is mostly verbal, but on at least one occasion a male detective gropes a female detective.

A police officer asks his male colleagues for dating advice. They tell him to get his date drunk and then rape her.

A group of men walk in on a man going down on another man. They stop the men walk in on them so this is extremely brief with no nudity.

All sexual scenes are extremely brief as in if you blink you'll miss it brief.

A brief shot of a woman handcuffing a man to a bed and having sex with him is shown. Her bare breasts are visible for a couple of seconds and she makes up and down movements. It appears the man in this scene has been drugged and is potentially being raped. It is depicted in flashes of scenes which comes across abruptly and therefore is unexpectedly graphic. In another scene a woman describes a threat by two men to rape and then murder her.

A man is moaning while having sex with another man. No genitals are shown and the act lasts for about 3 seconds before they are interrupted by two police detectives.

There is discussion of the production of pornographic films and three clips of some of these pornos are shown, including depictions of sex with noises, a brief shot of bare breasts, and a shot of a naked man above a naked woman. No genitalia can be clearly seen but it is an unusually graphic depiction of pornography for the rest of the context of the series.

Throughout the series there is some mild to moderate sexual innuendo and references, e.g. discussions about breasts, pornography and rape, and sexist dialogue.

There is a very brief sideways glimpse of a woman's buttocks as she leaves a bed with a sheet obscuring her front.

Post Mortem scene, open body scene with guts, lungs + other intestines visible. Gory but lasts for 2-3 seconds

In most episodes, the police characters are shown fighting, punching and beating up criminals. Nothing too strong, mainly moderate violence.

Some moderate references to sexual violence.

Some police officers shoot at other people and blood sometimes sprays.

Dead bodies in crime scenes are sometimes shown with injury details, such as cut throats.

Some mild language is used, such as 'dingalong' (penis) and 'idiot'.

Only moderate language is used throughout the series, including multiple uses of "prick" "bastard" "piss" "shit" "bloody", infrequent use of "arse" "bitch" and "cock". Including some racial terms "paki".

Most characters smoke and drink often in the majority of scenes and episodes.

Some fairly infrequent hard drug references, e.g. mentioning of cocaine usage.

An audio tape is played which reveals that someone was forced to ingest a hard drug. This sounds fairly disturbing but no images are shown.

There is a creepy character - a young girl with a teddy, which comes across very eerie in the way she is depicted.

In one episode there are scenes showing a man's moderately disturbing dead body with scars intact on his skin.

Some other dead bodies, ranging from mild (e.g. a bullet to the head) to moderate/high (e.g. a man with a hammer blow to the head).

One scene of an autopsy with a man's internal organs exposed on the examining table.

Some disturbing sequences when the main character is shown very distressed and has occasional flashbacks, with the character losing his mind in a fit of rage.
