More please!16 part dramedy series that is born of superior original spine tingling drama starring the impeccable John Sims hath but two seasons to run and they are full of cheesiness. Lo, yet doth the viewer not become fond of Raymondo, Chris and Bolly and elevate Philip Glenister's Gene Hunt to a pedestal hitherto reserved for James Spader's Alan Shore and James Bolam's Jack Ford? Yes, she, and a few million other viewers do, apparently. Reports of Ashes to Ashes demise are greatly exaggerated! I just checked out the Official Philip Glenister site and a third series is in production! Suspending disbelief will be a very big ask indeed but for a few more serves of the Gene Genie I'm prepared to give it my best shot!

I have a HUGE crush on Gene Hunt. He's a tough nut with a heart'o'gold alright! Thanks for putting me onto Ashes to Ashes in a previous post. Makes me wanna go out and watch Life on Mars (the original, not the US version). I'm waiting impatiently for the second season ....
Yes, do watch Life On Mars - it is superlative telly. I have always liked Philip Glensiter but in GH he's found a persona that shows off all his best tough guy, comic and tender traits. What a honey!
Serendipity has struck. A friend lent me the first season of Life on Mars on dvd last weekend. Enjoying it very much.
