Totally agree.
Somehow it worked better set in Manchester than London as well.

Ditto.
It was all brilliant, a very original idea, great acting by all, almost magical the flitting between eras.
Can’t believe this was aired in the Noughties. Time flying by in the wrong direction!

Not sure why but never watched Life on Mars till now and yes miles better and funnier.
DI Sam Tyler, we need to integrate with these Irish people and talk to them to find out who did this, DCI Gene Hunt "Top of the morning Gentleman, which ******* set of the car bomb"

Shame because Ashes to Ashes was very decent, but after Life on Mars it felt like a bit of a let-down. If you watched it the other way round though, you probably did it the best way.

We thought it was all over with Ashes To Ashes, but Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharoah’s time-travelling saga – that began with Life On Mars – looks set to return for a ‘final chapter’.
During a live watch-along of Life On Mars, Graham issued a number of tweets that revealed details about what would be a third and final instalment of the story.
Graham told fans that he’s expecting all the main stars – John Simm, Phillip Glenister and Keeley Hawes among them – for the instalment, and see it as as ‘four or five episodes’.

I rewatched Life on Mars not so long ago and rather enjoyed it.
When I moved on to Ashes I found it really disappointing, for me it really didn't hold up to a second viewing.

Loved Life on Mars. Towards the end, Brighton supporter Ralph Brown (he of the Camberwell Carrott) appeared in a couple of episodes.
I haven't watched any of Ashes to Ashes. Simply didn't fancy it.

I think that would be a real shame.
The ending of Ashes to Ashes was so well crafted that trying to revive the series would spoil it.

As Time Goes By is still running on the Drama Channel.
Life on Mars finished 11 days ago, with Ashes to Ashes replacing it at 21.00 for two hours on a Saturday night.

Its still very enjoyable - just not as good as the original series.

Watching the series on Drama currently, and I'm starting to get annoyed by the amount of music that is played, which was not released in 1981 the year that the series was set in.

3rd installment on the way, 'Lazarus'.
Expected to have Simm, Glenister and Hawes involved.

Weird. Seemed very final to me in the last episode.
