The 2nd, or is it third series hasn't shown in Australia yet. I couldn't resist looking at the spoilers, because I'm so in love with the show. After all, it's the journey that's so much fun, right?
I was so disappointed when Life on Mars finished. And then Ashes to Ashes happened and it was even more mesmerising, engaging, funny and riveting. My favourite scene of the series is when Gene Hunt sees Alex Drake's wallet on the inside of the closed restaurant, and realising something is wrong inside, he steps away, turns around and shoots the front glass windows in, and it all falls down in slow motion, so he can step inside and play "save the day" instead of the usual fantastic "withering *******". That slo-mo fall of glass is one of my favourite TV images, and is particularly good on a large HDTV.
