I admit to really enjoying both programmes and I think that some fans of Life on Mars are being a bit silly.
I never really liked Ray in Life on Mars as I found him too officious. He mellows wonderfully in Ashes to Ashes.
I confess to being a big fan of Keely Hawes so I was always going to love Alex Drake. It's a wonderful cast and a most satisfactory ending which answers all questions.
We now also now why it's set in the 70's and 80's. It follows Gene Hunt as he ages. He was a young PC in 1953 and a DCI in the 70's and 80's I guess that's he now a very old Superintendent.
