In February 2008, the Spanish television network Antena 3 bought the rights from the BBC and announced it would recreate the story into 1977 post-Franco Spain. The title originiates from a 1980 Spanish song "La Chica de Ayer" by Nacha Pop (similar to "Life on Mars?" by David Bowie). First transmitted on Antenna 3, Sundays at 10pm, from 26 April to 14 June 2009.
