Life on Mars - Spin off Series

If you - like me felt slightly sad after the last episode of the excellent ‘Life on Mars’ TV series, you’ll no doubt be interested to hear that the BBC has commissioned a spin off series named ‘Ashes to Ashes’.

Set in 1981, Ashes to Ashes brings back the popular character DCI Gene Hunt along with sidekicks Ray Carling and Chris Skelton and pits them against the ‘Southern Nancies’ of London (Hunt’s words not mine!).

A new character - sexy female cop DCI Alex Drake is thrown into the mix after being involved in a horrific accident in 2008. Hmmm sounds familiar…..

I’m not sure how well this part of the story will work out. DCI Drake is supposed to have knowledge of Hunt et al from notes which Sam wrote when he ‘awoke’ in the ‘real’ world….

Anyway, filming on Ashes to Ashes begins soon and you can read more here.
