Life in Ashes - Mercorabilia

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.
