Ashes to Ashes 30 Day Challenge: Day 26: Favorite weekly storyline Series 3, Episode 2 A severed hand is sent to the police station and investigations link it to the murders of several women around the country, all of whom had used the Crescent Moon dating agency. After Alex has unsuccessfully carried out an experiment in speed dating, Shaz, disillusioned with her job and seeking a challenge, goes undercover to trap the killer.
Mrs Glenister What I remember about this episode are Beth Goddard’s lines, intended, I am sure, as an in-joke: ‘Is there a Mrs Hunt?’ she asks. Luigi (Joseph Long) replies, ‘There was, once.’
‘The poor, poor woman.’

Alex: I’d propose, given your reaction to the gender balance of the gang, that this is their first job. Gene: What, New Kids On the Block? Alex: Now, that is a good name for a boy band. Shaz: Guv. Gene: Chris, Take That. It’s the dodgy second hand car dealers. East 17. Chris: Alright, Backstreet Boys. Ray: Yeah, let’s get ‘em Busted. Alex: Oh, god, I’m gonna scream.
forever in love with the writers and actors and camera crew and producers and ah everyone involved in ashes to ashes.
Boy band time Still one of my favourite scenes in season 1 of Ashes.
Fire up the Quattro Now Audi is using the words for real.
“Is there a garden in there?” “Yes, why?”
The Blue Peter garden Season 3 was not that fab with all the budget cuts, but this was a classic moment.
Back seat of the Quattro A very red Keeley from episode 1 of Ashes to Ashes.

Why be so hateful toward LoM US? I’ve watched both (started with the US version since I’m in the US) and I found them both to be equally satisfying. I hated the ending to the US version and I think Ashes to Ashes is what ultimately boosts the British version up to equal or...
Oh well I had a well written response to this that took me 10 minutes, analysing the original, American and Spanish ones. And how the finalé of Life on Mars US let me down. Why space jokes are funnier now. But it’s also why Ashes to Ashes let me down, and how I compared Drury’s direction to that of Bharat Nalluri and SJ Clarkson. And how bad finalés take you out of fandom. Then Firefox crashed, right after I finished writing the three paragraphs, as it always does, and took it into digital hell. Damn you, Firefox.
Ashes to Ashes Great photo of Phil and Keeley. And happy birthday to them both for earlier this month.

Philip Glenister has claimed that budget cuts marred the final series of Ashes To Ashes. Speaking to DS, the actor—who played DCI Gene Hunt in the time-travel drama—admitted that he was annoyed by the BBC’s decision to reduce the money spent on production. “I don’t understand why we do...
The cuts were so damned obvious, too, from episode 1 on. Reusing the Quattro driving scenes was very noticeable. It felt very cheap, especially when you compare it to the last series of Life on Mars. Philip Glenister has every right to complain and the BBC, which deserves every word of his criticisms, should consider itself lucky that he did not utter a negative word in earlier promotions.

Another promo picture for Uptown Girl from a review of the S3 DVD! There’s also an interview with Daniel Mays in the article.
Christie who? More of these ‘Uptown Girl’ pics, please!

How have I never seen this before?! Nice wrench, Phil. Sorry, had to.
I have put these two on my ‘wish list’ *sigh*
Keeley Hawes is fitter than Christie Brinkley I really would like to see the whole set of these ‘Uptown Girl’ pics. And at high res.

I love her Ashes to Ashes art, she does the cutest things!
Life and Ashes art This is really beautiful, and she’s captured the characters well.

Keeley and John / Alex and Sam
Comparing notes I wonder what they’re saying. John seems to be reacting, as if to say, ‘I thought I had it tough. Did they really stamp your bum?’

Have people seen this? Could be doubtful…Maybe not…I stole it from Mason Kayne’s (Ghost!Gene) facebook.
Everyone How cool! The entire team—love Danny’s coat! (Not very Jim Keatsy!)
