Alternative Life On Mars sequel
I am firmly
of the belief that Life On Mars should have just been one amazing series – instead
of being stretched to make two – and, while I understand the route the writers
went down in giving Gene Hunt a female sidekick in the sequel Ashes to Ashes, I
can’t help but feel they missed a trick as they could so easily have flipped
the show on its head.
Imagine Gene
Hunt inexplicably finding himself in modern day London faced with the politically correct,
multi-cultural,diversified society we have now. You can just hear the intro:
Better still – what if the prejudiced,
loud-mouthed Gene Hunt had a female superior, one sidekick who was black and
another who was gay – oh, the possibilities!
Come on BBC Commissioners – get
this one in the pipeline.
