Given the current freezing temperatures, lack of atmosphere and resulting irradiation from UV light there is unlikely to be any life on Mars anymore, at least not on the surface. However, Professor Brian Cox's final episode of Wonders of the Solar System, on Life, reveals some tantalsing evidence, in methane being released from below the Martian surface, that indicates there may just be Life below the surface. Watch the video clip, while the BBC still let you.
Turns out that the telegenic Brian Cox was formerly the keyboard player for D:Ream, of New Labour theme tune "Things can only get Better" fame. Which probably explains why he went back to science.
