[Garf]

fantastic ending, real shame they're not doing any more

 

[Buoyant Babe]

Can't wait for the spin off if it happens ...but Hustle is back soon with another of the Glenisters in it. Class, something else to look forward to instead of reality TV and dancing contests :thumbsup:

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Life on Mars sequel jumps to '80s

Guess I will have to wait for the boxed set on DVD to come out - I loved it when I was back home - shame I missed most of it

Ah, well, it will pass the odd evening eventually I s'pose

Didn't bother watching the second series - was it any good?

 

[GLOC]

Watched it tonight on BBC4 thinking it was the last episode and clock watching thinking they have 5 mins to end this and we are nowhere near an ending scenario and then it says 'Last part tomorrow night' :doh:

The new character will be a modern woman who has risen through the ranks of the Metropolitan Police by using psychological profiling to capture suspects, producers said.

But when she and her daughter are kidnapped, she is injured in a rescue attempt - and finds herself in 1981.

Jane Featherstone, executive producer for TV production company Kudos, said the search was on for DCI Hunt's new "sexy sidekick".

Eugh - the "sequel" sounds a bit weak.

 

[Buoyant Babe]

Eugh - the "sequel" sounds a bit weak.

I agree. Could we not just have a new 'Sweeney style' show with the 70s cops turning into the 80s?

Well I just watched the last two episodes this evening as I have been away for the last week in Berlin (cheap beer, woohoo!!! ), and my what a great ending to the final episode. Just like the series ender last year, I was on the edge of my seat talking to the characters again. What a climax, and I liked the way he dictated the opposite to the opening "My name is Sam Tyler" credits bit...

Well worth the wait for this series, will get it on DVD again when it comes out later in the year.

 

[Ding Dang Doo]

Missed the first series, but got hooked on the second... I'll give the spin off a go, but only to see if Gene Hunt is still quality viewing, or if he's had his feathers clipped by political correctness, although I from what I remember, it was still in it's infancy in the early '80's, certainly before the miners strike...

Bit too much of a local documentary for you?

 

[PeeBee]

Just read the description of Ashes to Ashes. Why can't the Beeb, or the other chanels, accept when a good idea has run it's course and move on? If they ever look at how much money the make from the repeats of Fawlty Towers they will realise they could be better of stopping while they are ahead and that quality coupled with originality has a use by date.

Ending wasn't a let down......

Thought the ending wasn't the normal 'is that it ?' and definitely came at it 'from outside the box' ,,,,,,,,,,talking of which must get the box set .........out takes must be a gem!!!
