Ashes to Ashes - The grand finale poll

[Norman Potting]

...Eagerly anticipating BBC1 at 21:00 tomorrow to hopefully find out WTF is going on. So many questions to answer, Will Alex get back to the present day, who or what is Jim Keats, will we see any of the old "Ashes to Ashes" characters back (Tyler, Annie or even Nelson), who is the injured copper who keeps appearing, what's on the videos, and what's all that stuff with the stars.

But for the poll just the one question - who is in the grave? Feel free to post any theories, sensible or otherwise. Think the show is in 1983 now, vaguely recall something memorable happening with the Albion that year, will they work that into the plot??

What grave ? saw the first part, but don't recall a grave ?

 

[Simster]

Me neither

Me neither

Start of first episode, Alex was in a coma after having been accidentally shot by Gene in 1983. She dreamed she was in a Curry's or similar back (or would that be forward) in the present day and I believe picked up a PC game which had the "A2A" team in the cover pic. She then saw on the TV in the store a news story about the body of police officer being dug up, the house in the picture being the one in the photo that Keats delivered to her flat last week.

Has to be Gene Hunt

Difficult.. I suspect Gene is the young copper though

will we see any of the old "Ashes to Ashes" characters back (Tyler, Annie or even Nelson)

Think you mean 'Life on Mars' characters.

who is the injured copper who keeps appearing

Isn't that the cop that Alex Drake shot and buried on a building site in the last series?

1) Yes I did.

2) Don't think so - that was Martin something or other. The old version of him shot the young version of him (can't recall the exact reason). All very confusing.

No apologies for bouncing this - I will be glued to the TV tonight at 21:00!

I've not been so intruiged in a finale of a series for .. well probably ever, and that's coming from a big Dr Who fan!

 

[Marshy]

Agreed re the young copper.

I for one hope she returns to modern day though.

 

[driller]

I hope it is not a totally balls ending

On a recent flight I deliberately didn't watch the concluding part of the US Life on Mars as I feared it would give away the ending of Ashes to Ashes.

I would think that Gene Hunt is in the grave and that Alex and Sam Tyler need to release him from his 'unchristian' buried purgatory. Not sure if Sam will appear and if he does, in what context.

have you noticed this series, she has hardly mentioned her daughter...which makes me think she is already dead and it is her in the grave.

I miss the knock about stuff in life of mars like where it opened with the camberwick green thing...that was genius

I hope she returns in the outfit she arrived in.

Alex.

Sorry but IMO it has never attained anything like the status of Life On Mars, a series I can & do watch again & again. The episode with the Camberwick Green Intro merging into Hawkwind playing You Shouldn't Do That (with Sam overdosing - a little in-joke to match the soundtrack I felt) was just perfect.....

No doubt I will look in on tonights episode but Gene Hunt aside, what do you really remember from either series of Ashes to Ashes?

Fire Up the Quattro I suppose - not really the same....

 

[coventrygull]

I agree " Life On Mars " was a superior series compared to " Ashes to Ashes" but have enjoyed it all the same

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

Brilliant!! Lost for words!
