      Yeah, I'll be watching this. Life On Mars was class so it'll will be tough to be as good as that no doubt. Especially as John Simm isn't in it. But it's set in the 80's which always gets my attention  ;) Plus that Gene Hunt character is a good laugh.

      Anyone watch it? Wasn't expecting it to be better than Life On Mars, but it wasn't too bad. Hopefully Sam might make an appearance sometime....

      I watched it and it was ok, I'm not expecting it to be as good as the first one but its worth watching just for Gene Hunt! 1st line "Your entry in your diary today will read, I got shot by armed bas**rds!" The mans a legend and the posh bird running round in stockings for most of the program was an unexpected bonus!! ;) I loved hearing the Clash and Stranglers in the show too! 8)

       :lmao: Love it.

      Gene Hunt is class. Liked the bit when he said his team was the A Team. And it was funny to see the old jam butty bizzy cars again.

      There's gonna be some good music in this programme.

      Gene Hunt is my hero, I want to be like him when I grow up! He's in the middle of a drug bust, heavies everywhere totting machine guns and he won't acknowledge his radio until they call him the A Team! :lmao: sheer class!

      Great Programme this......Loved the DeLorean Car.........class

      The music too is brilliant, trying to pick out the clips they play and remember the tracks, managed to spot Geno - Dexy's Midnight Runners, Messages & Souvenir - O.M.D, Body Talk - Imagination, and how good was it to see Steve Strange singing Fade To Grey, Oh and Swords Of a Thousand Men by Tenpole Tudor.  ;D

      Great era, take me back to the 80's  8)

      The 80's were class. Loads of different, good music. And the football was pretty good too....

      Hope you can keep a note of all the tunes MsG.  ;) And I bet you fancy Gene Hunt.... ;D

      Watched the whole series of this one, the ending was a bit odd with her parents dieing, because i thought that she had been put back in time to save them, and as she hasn't how does she get back  ??? Was a brilliant finish to the series though.

      Loved Gene Hunts line 'we are un-bloody-breakable' Loved that scene!

      Gene Hunt is a class character. Glad there'll be another series - there's no way one series of Ashes To Ashes could rival Life On Mars. But it was better than I thought it would be. Plus you can't beat all the 80's tunes....

      We need to start a petetion to get Gene Hunt in the present time!

      Great song...........and they are getting back together again aren't they  ;D

      Missed the last 20 mins of this, as I had visitors, fancy coming round when I'm watching Ashes to Ashes.....how thoughtless  :lmao:

      From what I saw though it looked good again, I love spotting the music  :laugh:

      Gene doesn't get any better does he  :laugh:
