It’s one of those beautiful beachside summery midmornings. Yeah, I’m at work but there’s loads of sunlight streaming through the Venetian blinds. I’m researching GM food, a subject on which I have yet to acquire an opinion, eating walnuts which may or may not be as nature intended them, listening to JJJ and sorting a bit of last minute detail for Conflux.
We’ve been watching our way through Ashes to Ashes this week. OK, so it’s nowhere near the masterpiece that is the original Life on Mars (no fucking way will I ever be bothering to watch the Yank version). But it’s fun. I like it. I suspect what I really like watching is Phillip Glennister playing Gene Hunt. They could broadcast hours and hours of Hunt driving dangerously, punching guys and spouting bad 80s slang with no plot whatsoever and I’d probably still be watching.

I still want them to follow up Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes with Hallo Spaceboy, set in 1998 and starring a grumpy retired Gene Hunt.
Yep, I’d watch that!
I want “Space Oddity”, in which Gwen from Torchwood wakes up in 1980 to discover she’s in UFO.
hahahaahahha!!!!
Yeah. They just a show called Gene Hunt fires up. 🙂
That’s exactly our attitude towards Ashes to Ashes. Fun enough, mainly thanks to the Gene Genie. I think people who hate it are expecting WAY too much after Life On Mars.
But if Sam (dead? They never found a body!) and/or Annie don’t turn up in A2A soon, I’ll be very upset…
we’re watching the last episode tonight…
Yep, I’m a Glenister girl.
all the hottest chicks are!
