    Excellent, got series 1+2 on DVD years ago. The US remake with Harvey Kietel was rubbish.

    Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes are 2 of the best British tv shows of the last 20 years IMO.

    Up there with Auf Wiedersehen Pet as some of the best TV ever created and Gene Hunt is definitely one of the greatest ever characters

    No evidence of it, but it would be very arrogant to dismiss the possibility.. :)

    I've always said it would be great if they made a cop show set in the 70's with the cast of and based on life on mars but without the time travelling bit.

    I loved both Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes. They're definitely up there with the best shows that I've watched. I still haven't made up my mind about the ending of AtA though, it was so bizarre! I can't decide whether it was awful or brilliant.

    They thought about calling it Ford Granada... what an awfully misleading title that would have been. :eek:

    For me, Ashes just didn't work as well, for various reasons. But I thought Daniel Mays as 'the devil' type character in series 3 was good, in a really eerie way!.

    He's a very good actor who can play that 'sinister' character really well.
