Any 'Life on Mars' fans see 'Ashes to Ashes' last night? What did you think? I was sceptical that they could make a series to match up to LOM but after the first episode I am optimistic that they may just do it! Gene Hunt was as sublime as ever.

I thought it was ok- a little bit tongue-in-cheek, not meant to be taken too seriously. I liked the music but I haven't quite made up my mind yet.

I preffered LOM, I tried to watch Ashes To Ashes on it's first episode, but I can't really seem to get into it.

Yes! I loved LOM because I'm a 70's child (a huge David Bowie fan too) but Ashes to Ashes is set early enough in the 80's for me to still appreciate it! I'm enjoying the new series very much. I like the spin on it that a pre-warned Alex Drake is bringing, love the way she calls all the other characters 'constructs'! It's interesting to trace developments of attitudes towards police work, women etc. Never thought we'd see Gene Hunt in a wine bar instead of a pub but that's the 80's for you!

Ive just watched the second one. Not as good as LOM, but stands up well on its own. Hunt as always is the best.
