Ashes to Ashes

[Bluepete]

"You in leather holding that gun gives me the horn!"

I loved that! We were rolling with laughter watching it, can't wait for next week, but only hope to God that they come up with a decent ending, unlike Life on Mars.

Nicely summed up there
I thought that whatserface with the stockings on was taking it a bit too far to still be dressed in them halfway thru the program ... but then it DOES certainly make for better telly that way
Big fan of Life on Mars ... and although Ashes to Ashes has some nice touches, I'm still undecided on it though too.

Gene Hunt: "My reputation precedes me"
He also wins the prize for corniest line in the entire show last night with that "Time to fire up the Quattro" ... made me laugh though

Liked it, hope by the end I love it

It tickled me too, in fact it reminded me of a 70's/80's detective series in which all I can remember were the words
'shut it, you slag' in a gruff cockney accent

the sweeney maybe, summat like that

All those shades of grey with bright red make my memory glands shudder. (even down to Gene's tie)

All this and not one mention of the clown??????

Initial impression - good, but not as good as Life On Mars. The WPC was quite cute, but way too wet for my taste.

Some great quotes from Gene though:

"I don't usually let prozzies into my office - unless I'm having a party"

On women coppers: "They should be a cross between Betty Turpin and the HMS Ark Royal"

To his female sidekick, DI Alex Drake: "If that skirt was any higher, I'd see what you had for breakfast"

"Fire up the Quattro! Take the seatbelt off! You're a police officer, not a bloody vicar."

In a room full of grey plastic: "It's like Tomorrow's World, innit?"

To a crook fixed in his gun-sight: "Today, my friend, your diary entry will read: took a prozzie hostage and was shot by three armed b*******s."

To a drug baron with a phone card: "Flash git."

His first words to Alex when she calls out his name… and then faints: "My reputation precedes me."

To his team: "If anyone laughs I will attach jump leads to their genitalia. The Special Branch are as nervous as a virgin in a brothel."

it must be a male thing. How come you can watch an programme and then recite lines from the show? I can watch a programme and have problems figuring out what the story line was far less what people actually said

Because I was sneaky and nicked those quotes from an article on the Daily Torygraph web site.
