Fantastic follow-up , 22 February 2008

Ashes to Ashes - Complete BBC Series 1 (4 discs) on DVD (2008)
Starring: Philip Glenister, Keeley Hawes, Dean Andrews
Director: Jonny Campbell, Bille Eltringham
Certificate:
Ashes to Ashes is a brilliant follow-up to Life on Mars - Keeley Hawes is excellent as the lead character, Philip Glennister is fantastic as the hilarious but deplorable Gene Hunt again and his 'sidekicks' Marshall Lancaster and Dean Andrews (DS Chris Skelton and DS Ray Carling respectively) do a great supporting job as always.

It's so easy to get drawn into this show from the very first episode you watch - as with Life on Mars, there's all sorts of weird stuff going on around DI Alex Drake (remember the test card clown/girl from Life on Mars? well, this time we have another strange, scary clown!) which is always entertaining and just a little bit creepy, and there are the usual emotional encounters with people who have been a part of the character's life in the present day. What makes this different, however, is the overall attitude of DI Alex Drake - she is considerably more light-hearted and laid back than Sam Tyler, and that makes for seriously entertaining viewing. Also, the 80s backdrop provides a fertile ground for all sorts of stories to be told, as well as allowing Keeley Hawes to look fantastic in fabulous 80s fashion and providing the show with a great, eclectic soundtrack.

I love it - and if you loved Life on Mars, you should give this a try! 27 out of 27 people found this review helpful
