The Ashes to Ashes (+ Life On Mars) Thread

[Effulgent]

It was a phrase I always associated with stomach punches, Apple Pu-ray will probably involve Gene hiting Chris over the head with a walking stick
Yeah I'll miss the beating up scenes, The ones that said "Shut it you plonk" and "you're a smartass, I don't know what I'd do without you" and "Marry me?" at the same time it was great tv, even though Glenister stole the show, it's still not the same without Sam on board, Good but not the same
Yeah, the bbc are the new channel 4, but I don't think they'd go that far and have him stomach punch her or anything like that just sexually harass her and verbally abuse her

I liked the interview, he seems like a nice guy, looking handsome, and he does have an old face

I prefer Goodmans and Durabrand

Apparently the Guv and his team got transfered over to Londonv maybe it was after Sam ran away to become the master? I don't know, they'll probably talk about it in future episodes.

That would be great, he'll cry and fall out of his car with beer cans and the like and Annie will slap him and call him a soft nancy pie and kick him in the you know whats and say "Right come on sunshine, it's dinner time and I've avin oops, and you're joining me!" and due to the amazing power of said oops and Annie's slappage, he'll sober up and become the good ol'gene genie again and in the last episode Sam will turn up, and he'll start crying and turn into a right nonce I should be writing for this show!!!
Suicide? yay! Good lord he's started a cult... that I would join according to his Johnny Ross interview he's a big hit with coppers and is a pin up what a great role model our nation's police force has

WHAT? THE NELLY AND KELLY ROWLAND ONE? "no matter what I doooooooo, all I think about is yooooooooou" I doubt they'd use that one Ernold, not eighties enough
It better happen or the bbc will get an angry slash crazy email from me, it would be amazing, they've probably already thought of it and written it!

I think thats the next one! apparently Steve Strange is going to be in it new romantic heaven!

[z]

that old scene where he beats him to the ground by the car had so many layers
yeah i worry about the lack of blokish banter but think its sstill going to scale the heights and comfortably be the best uk show ever
im lookingforward to her being appallled by his sexist remarks every week

i liked when he said he could sense peoples disapointment that he wasnt Geneish when they met poor gitt

if its not huanyu or sanyo im not investing

i bet there was a scandal involving beating confessions out of people :{P so they had to be moved

i ithink youve figured out a suitable finale certainly maybe Gene will marry Annie

i bet recruitment levels have multiplied since Genes emergence we're in safe hands ith him as our leader

that wasnt the version i had in mind but im sure they could duet it in a musical ep it wouldnt be too farfetched considering the shows premise

crikey steve strange im hoping for a boy george cameo


i hope this is a picture exclusive but yoouve probably seen it before it was taken

[Effulgent]

It did Skin layers, I love that Epidermis so handy, all those scenes were epic! we'll never see them again, unless Ray becomes a even bigger ponce than before and manages to pee off the guv it won't be the same though, it's not Sam's face that fist will be hitting

Second best uk show! after Life On Mars! but yeah heres hoping its a massive hit! It's very different from LoM which is a good thing I suppose, at least it isn't trying to be LoM number 2 like a certain remake!
It's going to be great! I'm looking forward to the huge feminist rants "Women have rights you know!" "Not in my station they don't *Slaps bum*" Ray's sexist comments about women last episode were outragous, yet they made me laugh I'm so bad at being a woman if it was any other show I'd be angry

Yeah He knows it's true I was listening to his chris moyles interview the other day, he said that he turned down the role of Gene Hunt in the American version, because he'd go crazy and go around saying "I'm Gene Hunt! I'm gene hunt" and end up having a split personality, am I the only person who thinks that would be fun?

Smart Man, Derek Trotter, Smart Man

Probably, notice how nancy pamby Gene had to act with the phone call he was giving "Yes Sir" It used to be all "Shut up you Git, give me the info I want, or I'll eat your Goat" I assumed it was because of reform in the police force and rules and regulations, but aint no rules gonna stop Gene Hunt, foo! .. as mr T would say, when talking about his best friend Gene Hunt (Mr T and Gene Hunt on screen together! that would be amazing! )

Then Sam will come back and they'll have a fight then run off together

Yeah Uk police forces should be thanking him! he's a great role model to British kids! they all want to be coppers now!

Philip Glenister said he wants a Life On Mars Musical it would be amazing "Sir Siiiiiir, a druggie in the street! he stole me mam's purse, alreeeet alreeet" a Life On Mars Musical set in newcastle it would be great!

I want Boy George, Samantha Fox and Christopher Biggins to walk into the station drunk one episode (of course pre touch her body/famous Sam Fox, but it would still be great )

IT IS AN EXCLUSIVE! Bloody hell! fantastic

Apparently there's a future episode with Gene in a poncho and cape wearing Chris!

[z]

crikey that finale ep with the grinning suicide was so great farewell sam

which certain remake teh american one ? cant wait for that
you can revel in Ray's awfulness and tell yourself its just entertainment but know deepdown youre a woman hater

i'd wear the coat all day and be Gene fulltime

Mr T is an 80's icon he should make a cameo Gene having to guard him from screaming A-tEAM FANS

BRING ME THAT MUSICAL! ITS SURELYTHE ONLY THING THAT CAN CURE MY WORRYING sWEENEY tODD FIXATION

Roland Rat deserves a cameo too but he might have been itv so maybe not

im so pleased i was very happyto stumble upon it while looking for pictures of a non blacked up Lionel Richie tribute artist

i want every ep to feature those elements!

[z]

NEW EP SOON IM SO EXCITED
AND THIS SHOW ON BEFORE IT IS CURRENTLY PLAYING iAN bROWN'S f.e.a.r

[z]

to my shame i fell asleep halfway through but will iplayer it now
i loved Gene saying ''i dont want to see your boney privately educated buttocks! '' and when Alex said ''mum'' then said ''' er no i said bum ''

[z]

Christ its a good show sof ar and away the best uk show ever and high in the all time llist
its really into its stride now theyve got the establishing out of the way
theres too many great lines to focus on that i forget them all

[Effulgent]

I loved seeing chris in make up New Romantic nancy, you can tell he enjoyed it too he and Shaz looked fantastic! Also was that boy george I saw there?

New episode tonight!

[z]

Boy George worked in that club as the coat looker after i know my new romantic stuff

new ep thanks to the iplayer i love it

[z]

i love just how effortlessly great it is it was a run of the mill ep yet still ten out of ten seeming i just love em they should be on a 24 hour webcam situation
excellent music too
Gene and Ray were so diaboilcal this week

[z]

i was ill and miserable at work then realised it was thursday and suddenly had a reason to live! new ep !

[z]

To Cut A lONG sTOR Y sHORT - sPANDAU bALLETT THE SONG OF THE 80'S SHOULD HAVE PLAYED IT ALL AND THE WONDERFUL KILTY VIDEO

[z]

i thought id be immune to the romanticising of the 80's but how good did Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran sound last night im getting their stuff to go with the stuff i already have

oh yeah good ep She gives far too much away to her mum trhough show some restraint!
When tehy trailed it as Gene meets the womens libbers i was on the edge of my seat but he wasnt nearly offensive enough

[Effulgent]

you new romantic nancy Soundtrack is great, good to hear some human league and shakey stevens as well, takes me baaccck maaaan, back to before I was even born (I hope they next spin off is set in the 90s so I can be nostalgic about Pulp playing and have Gene reveal he's related to the Gallagher brothers he doesn't like to talk about it though, the irish connection, her sister Cheryl couldn't resist the charms of Patrick Fitzpatrick O'Irish Gallagher )


Haha she's a bit harsh isn't she? I don't blame her though, I would get angry too and I guess she thinks its in her head so no need for manners
Yeah I was expecting him to say something about housewives and gender roles but he called himself Hitler instead being with Sam has obviously softed him up a bit (hugging Alex what a nancy ), but he can still be obnoxious and offensive, which is nice to see
I loved Feminist!Chris, he was fantastic and hilarious I loved that conversation he had with the RWF woman about chocolates and I just look at Ray and laugh, what a fantastic haircut
I loved Shaz in this too, she seemed a bit dimmy dim dim in the first episode, but she's a smart girl

[z]

i took that pic of Chris into a styling salon and thats how i look now i love the Human League i was 14/15 when they made a pretty respectable mid ninties comeback
maybe if they keep it in the 80s but go up north we can see teen gallaghers getting into hillarious scrapes with Gene and Liam saying '' one dayi'll name a son after that brutal git '' i remember when Liam's sons Gene name was revealed thinmking how poor it was but now its the coolest name on the block
we'll call him paddy for short

i'd want to hide away from ther horror of my young parents but hers died so its fair enough wanting to know more her dads not ye been seen ? maybe it will be revealed that Genes her dad (what a twist )

i want full on dispicable abuse this week he can start the e[p saying '' why was i so nice to that lot '' and that can be the ep , him correcting last weeks leniency

Chris seemed even possibly a bit genuine but mostly just impressing Shazzz
every time i see Rays hair i think how much they must laugh on set about it the greatest actors sacrifice ive ever seen
on the other hand the barnet theyve inflicted upon shaz is a triumph i'll take that pic to the salon when i tire of my new romantic chris look she seems the kind to save the day with her detection ,though she'll be unapreciated for a good while first
