Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 and I am going to be singing Mirror Man for days now from some reason I am convinced Sam Tyler is going to reappear, I know its mad and there is no reason he would/could but keep thinking he will when they spoke to the stripper and she said she was from Hyde I started shouting at Mark that it was a sign Sam was coming back , Mark looked at me like it was a sign I had been out in the sun for too long anyway regardless of all that I think its fab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one.eyed.dog Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have a feeling we will have to pay attention. What was all that about Diana Spencer. I loved it when Gene shouted. "You just shot my car. You bastard" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 oh my lordy lord that was fantastic and in a different league to series 1 ( which I felt struggled a bit ) Definitely agree, it was very good. Alex wasn't as irritating and pleased she has got rid of that dreadful perm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celeste Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Watched it last night but have never watched it before so could you please explain why she is in the past Well, now, just hang your disbelief at the door, and listen up, Alex has been shot in real life (she is a proper copper) and in the tiny crack between life and death she's been shunted back into the 80's (as you do), thing is, is it all in her mind, or isn't it ? The series follows on from Life on Mars where the same thing happened to Sam Tyler (except he was a bloke, had been run over and ended up in the 70's) I think you can catch up with it on You Tube, you haven't seen half of how funny this can be, some of the Gene'isms are priceless.

incapuppy Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Watched it last night but have never watched it before so could you please explain why she is in the past Oooh, Vonny - but we don't know if she is in the past or not In current times as a police officer she was shot in the head by a baddie. When she 'came to' she was in 1982. Now this was not too strange for her as she had previously investigated the case of Sam Tyler (the main character in the previous series - Life on Mars - which was about Sam Tyler being transported back to the 1970s). Alex spent series one of Ashes to Ashes convinced she could 'get back' to current times if she could work out a puzzle - but this was not to be. I believe that around six months are supposed to have passed since the end of series one but did you see the nurses at the very start of the programme? Something came on the TV (or radio) which said that a missing policewoman had been found after 24 hours. So - has Alex been missing just 24 hours and is perhaps dreaming the life in 1982, or has she really gone back to 1982 as a result of the accident? Hope that helps a bit, without giving too much away Incidentally - if there are people that have never seen Life on Mars, I would recommend they get both series on DVD immediately as it is, without doubt, the best thing I have ever seen on telly Ooops, I got carried away waffling and Celeste has beaten me to it in the meantime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
