I am really looking forward to the follow up to last year's Life on Mars starring John Simm as Sam Tyler and Philip Glenister as his hard-assed, politically uncorrect, white shoe wearing boss, Gene Hunt, who is it must be said a bit of a (rhyming slang).

While I am not sure if 'follow up' is the correct term as the story moves to the 1980s (the original series was set in the 1970s) and features a new lead character instead of Sam Tyler, I really hope that this series lives up to the promise of Life on Mars. The new series starts soon and is called Ashes to Ashes (after another Bowie song).

Personally I can't wait, Life on Mars took me on a journey back through the 70s with the clothes, the hair, the music and the smoke filled rooms. Hopefully Ashes to Ashes will do the same with the 80s.

awful. It is a total waste of money.
