Ashes To Ashes

Amazing it wasn't pulled really, considering how sensitive channels think they have to be now.

BBC Three pulled their suicide drama this week - so as you say, surprising.

Haven't been following "Ashes To Ashes" closely but from what I've seen it's a lot better than "Life On Mars" which I never liked. My favourite excerpt is from Episode 2, Alex wants to arrest a bomb maker.

Alex: Please
DCI Hunt: No
Alex: I'll let you stamp my bum
DCI Hunt: I'll get my coat

I prefer it to be honest, a bit more humour this time round. Apparently some critics are, rather unfairly, comparing it to Life On Mars & moaning that it isn't exactly the same.

Apparently also more women prefer this series to men (well in the TV Times HQ anyway)

Wow! What a twist to this episode! So it was Alex's dad (aka the Clown) that blew up the car

Yeah I thought it was great, never saw that coming.

The last two stories were great, that twist last night & the one last week where it looked like Shaz had snuffed it.

Also it's back for another series next year

Last night was the last one? Oh blinking hell. This always happens to me. I watched it for the first time last night. I'd meaning to watch it before but i get easily sidetracked.

Also it's back for another series next year , Why not sooner.

Well they didn't commissioned it yet until they monitored how it fairs out viewership wise, they start shooting Series 2 in August.
