This is a clever sequel to Life on Mars, with a subtle twist, putting a female in a still fiercely male environment, despite the time factor. There are moments of 80s excess and a less football oriented plot line, set in dockland and London, in a Thatcher led nation.

When I saw this on EBay. I thought: "This looks good!" The follow-up to Life on Mars. The price was nothing to complain about either. I watched the first episode. Scenes of London flashed before my eyes. Fantastic! In 1981, I was a bike messenger and I remember the docklands before it was redeveloped. What a transformation! As for the content, I wholeheartedly agree with the Gurdian newspaper. They said it was better then Life on Mars. And they're right! Philip Glenister and Keeley Hawes are fabulous! I sense a lot of chemistry between the pair! Will they or won't they? You won't be disappointed. Keeley Hawes is brilliant! As are Gene, Sam and Chris. 10/10 For what it's worth; Why is series 3 so expensive? This is good stuff! Recommended 10/10

I loved 'Life on Mars' and so when I heard a sequel was in the works, I was a bit trepidacious but I needn't have worried. If 'LoM' was filmed in a gritty 1970s way, 'Ashes to Ashes' is all shoulder-pads, wine bars and Duran Duran. The cast are fantastic, and the plot (trendy police psychologist Alex Drake - Keele Hawes - is shot in the 2ist Century and ends up back in 1981 with Gene Hunt and his team) is as timey-wimey and twisty-turney as you might want as Alex tried to stop her beloved parents from being blown up with a car bomb. Highly recommended !

Wonderful follow-up series to "Life on Mars". Philip Glenister was superb as Gene Hunt and Keeley Hawes was most believable in trying to get back to her daughter.

I bought this after watching the first two series of Life on Mars. This is the follow up - similar story line in that a person wakes up in the past, this time, the 1980's and its set in London instead of Manchester! It took a couple of episodes to get used to Alex Drake instead of Sam Tyler, but soon you are in the swing of it, with perms, bad hair...and the Quattro!! Storylines are superb - can you change the past? Alex tries to but some things aren't meant to be. Some classic eighties tracks for backing, great acting from the cast, the banter is still comical between Ray, Chris and Gene. We need a Gene Hunt back in the force!! Highly recommended.
