GENE HUNT LIFE ON MARS T-SHIRT
A classic TV character t-shirt in black cotton.
'Everything Can Be Solved With A Punch And A Pint.'
Pay tribute to the legendary “Manc Lion” with the Gene Hunt Life On Mars T-Shirt. Inspired by Philip Glenister’s iconic portrayal of Detective Chief Inspector Gene Hunt in the groundbreaking TV series Life on Mars, this t-shirt celebrates a character as unforgettable as his one-liners.
Life on Mars aired from 2006 to 2007, blending crime drama with science fiction as modern-day detective Sam Tyler (John Simm) found himself mysteriously transported back to 1973. There, he encountered DCI Gene Hunt—a brash, unapologetic, and fiercely loyal detective whose old-school methods often clashed with Tyler’s contemporary sensibilities. Known for his swagger, sharp wit, and a deep sense of justice buried beneath his gruff exterior, Gene Hunt became a fan favorite and a pop culture icon.
With his Ford Cortina, flared trousers, and fearless attitude, Hunt symbolized a bygone era of policing while showcasing the complex nuances of leadership and loyalty. Whether delivering a hilarious insult or facing down corruption, Gene Hunt’s larger-than-life persona made him a standout in a series that remains a beloved piece of television history.
This t-shirt is the perfect homage to the character who told it like it was—sometimes with a fist, often with flair, but always with heart.
