As big a hero as the Gene Genie is, there's no hiding from the fact that overall Ashes to Ashes is poor in comparison to Life on Mars. Sure the co, star is more shaggable, but it's not really doing it for me.

Actually I agree with Chuckles. I'm enjoying Ashes to Ashes, but it's nowhere near as good as Life on Mars.

Thats cool, agree with him, he likes an argument so in retrospect agreeing with him is probably the best option :)

It's not as good, don't shoot the messenger, read the reviews. I enjoy it, but it's not as must see as Life on Mars, the Gene Hunt character has been toned down and Alex Drake hasn't got the edge that Sam Tyler did, because she knows what is going on and why she's there, wheras Sam's predicament was totally alien to him and that was a good 50% of the plot line of Life on Mars.
Mind you if someone told folk like you shit was a delicacy you'd eat it , see the blind way you go around looking at City for proof.

Alex - "So you want me to beg" ?
Gene - "I would have no objections if you went down on your knees in front of me
right now" ! :eek: roflmao:

I watch it because i like it....i'm not interested in the 'reviews'...one minute you're saying read the reviews to see if it's good then your saying i'd only eat stuff coz someone says it's good? I make my own opinion on stuff based on what i find. Not what the reviews say, and not what you moan on about. If you don't like it, change it. If you're not prepared to change it, stop moaning about it.

I never said I didn't like it, only that it's not as good, which it isn't. Some of us want more out of a TV show than just quotable soundbites from one of it's characters. Gene Hunt was good at that in Life on Mars, the same way as he's good at it on Ashes to Ashes, but to people who like something challenging when watching something, that's not enough. Life on Mars had that extra, Ashes to Ashes sadly does not. If that's enough for you, maybe you should give CBEEBIES a try? It's on everyday and it's all in bright colours!

'Some of us' want to watch something fun and light hearted, we want to laugh and be happy. 'Some of us' don't want to moan about everything all the time. It doesn't make us stupid, or mean thats all we're interested in. It's a bit like that with city you see. I go to the matches and i watch my team, if it's shit i say so, if it's good i say so. I say so based on no-ones opionion but my own. Beyond that i don't worry about it because that would be a waste of my time.

And one day, when you find out that life isn't that Simple, it will be a bigger blow, probably when you see the Closed Down signs outside your beloved Valley Parade.
That said...............
I've just watched last nights Ashes to Ashes and it was very good, the nearest it's been to Life on Mars so far. Good one liners, strong story line and a bit of the less toned down Gene Genie. Loved the bit where he let Ray and Chris give the dickhead a good shoeing at the end, if only modern day coppers were allowed to be the same eh?
