OooooooooooOOOOoooooOOOoh!

ah man - i know it's been said, but how cool was shazza? she kicks bridal arse!

ahhh - gwan Alex, go back to 82 and the Gene Genie, you know you want to. You know it makes sense.

 

[zoooo]

big cop out with the fried penis though

I think Drake was lying to make him feel better. He did eat a cock.

 

[Balbi]

Shazza would absolutely murder Uma Thurman in the vengeful bride stakes

Another series would work. I mean, Life on Mars was only wound up after John Simm said he'd taken it as far as it could go - and that totally worked . Hopefully they'll roll it in on the next one, otherwise it gets a bit drawn.

Fuck me, what an episode though - could have done with another one to fit in the scale of it all

I swaer that sausage in batter had a bell-end!

 

[zoooo]

It diiiid!

 

[treelover]

Epic, action, pathos, and the acting was top notch, some of A2A has been lukewarm, but this one was hot, hot, hot,

Gene Hunt must be one of the seminal TV characters...

great ending, didn't think they really had a chance of setting up a final series properly, but they sure did!

 

[SpookyFrank]

That ending was well dark, with the eerily cheerful synth music and all, fucking good though


I'm glad I didn't know about the third series before I saw tonight's episode, right up to the last thirty seconds I thought they were just gonna go for a cop-out (no pun intended) happy ending and have done with it.

I wanted to know how long she'd been in the coma.
Like was it weeks (as it felt in her '80s world), or was it a couple of days.
It would have been ace if they'd said she'd only been out for an hour.

 

[belboid]

it's been over a year in 80's world

in the hospital, who knows? but long enough to need an operation, have an operation, become obviously infected and recover. that's gotta be a couple of hours at least. and they say molly's been waiting a 'long time' to see her, so that's gota be...well a few hours in child time anyway

 

[zoooo]

Oh yes of course. I always forget she's been there for two series nonstop.

 

[SpookyFrank]

and they say molly's been waiting a 'long time' to see her, so that's gota be...well a few hours in child time anyway

...that was because she wasn't really awake and had gone off to imaginary land in her shiny new coma instead. And in her head she's been away from Molly for ages and ages so that's what the doctor said.

i really enjoyed last nights episode. had no idea there was a third series in the planning is there? endign was a bit freaky but made me laugh at the same time

Probably the best "anti-hero" since the very early Dr Who episodes with William Hartnell.

How did I not know this existed?
I really enjoyed Life on Mars and want to watch this now

don't expect it to be as good but....

Been reading the thread and seems a bit mixed. Life of Mars was ace and I really did not want it to end but it was perfect length/content really.

ashes to ashes improves as the show goes on

just the protagonist is no Sam Tyler , so the chemistry of the cast on life on mars is not repeated

still worth a gander anyways

 

[Kaka Tim]

Not as good as Life on Mars. But is still got gene hunt so therefore definitely worth watching.
And the final episode tieing everything up was pretty class.

 

[Badgers]

I like John Simm in LOM but Gene Hunt is the best role.
