Ashes To Ashes is tonally a little different from Life On Mars, but maintains the wonderful attention to period detail (and a healthy 80s soundtrack to match), and the willingness to mix in some fun alongside the serious business of police work. All 24 episodes from the 'Life On Mars' BBC crime drama spinoff in which DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) swaps the Ford Cortina for an Audi Quattro and, along with his faithful sidekicks Ray Carling (Dean Andrews), Chris Skelton (Marshall Lancaster) and new thorn in his side DCI Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes), joins the London Metropolitan Police to deal with the 'southern nancy' criminal scum. Like John Simm’s character in Life On Mars, DCI Drake suddenly finds herself in 1981, with no clear reason why.

After cliffhanger finale in the second season, it takes some time until everything is back to normal. Other than the location, not many things have changed because DCI Hunt and his team have been transfered from Manchester to London. The Gene Genie is back better that ever taking Alex under his wing with some twists and turns along the way.

While DCI Sam Tyler from Life on Mars woke up in the 70s after a car crash, DI Alex Drake wakes up in the 80s after she got shot. The denouement of the first series really is gripping and very moving as Alex does everything she can to prevent her parents death without knowing the truth behind the events until pretty much the last minute. One reason for moving the sequel to London, from Life on Mars' Manchester setting, was because the iconic eighties fashion would not have reached smaller cities at the time.com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646).

Mostly about the fact that some explanations make sense for Life on Mars, some for Ashes to Ashes, but don't really make sense when both are put together. As with "Life on Mars," the end (of each season) makes you want to go back to the beginning and watch from your new perspective. So it’s out with the Cortina, in with the Audi Quattro, and straight down to some terrific television.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.
