I was the same...I came over all hormonal when he was carrying her as if she weighed nothing....he's lovely!

Having wondered what all the fuss was about i've started working my way through series one of Life On Mars. 3 episodes in i'm still wondering.

I think it's a wimmin thing Craig - we do love a (pretendy) misogynist surly git who's got a soft heart!

so that's where i've been going wrong then...

I don't! Although the soft heart's always good.

The Gene Genie kept me watching.

The actor/acting was fabulous from the charismatic Gene who was so much more compelling than the dreadful female lead (see I can't even remember her name) ... unlike the mesmerising John Sims ... and that's why ultimately Ashes to Ashes was just a caricature of Life on Mars. Wish I felt differently because love decent drama

I'd rather listen to the Shipping forecast...........

I agree with all of the above. I really think they had a winner with 'Life on Mars' - but it was never sequel material. OK, the character of Gene Hunt was excellent and played well but credibility was stretched to the point where I was reminded of the infamous scene in 'Dallas' - where Pam wakes up to find that Bobby is still alive and taking a shower (and all the events in the previous series never happened).

There is to be another series of Ashes to Ashes I believe - but I think this cow's been milked enough already!

I didn't see much of Life on Mars, so probably enjoyed Ashes to Ashes more as a result. The music was great, there was a lot of comedy in it and I didn't take the plot seriously at all. It was good fun. I was not expecting it to end as it did with another series likely.
