  • I'm arresting you for murdering my car !!

    I couldn't myself from stop laughin and crying at the same time when I saw the episode on TV.

    Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes are ones of the best TV shows I've EVER watched ! ! <3

    RIP Quattro, Shaz, Ray, Alex, Sam, Chris and Gene, you made me laugh so much!

  • Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes are one of the best TV series in history! British can do :)

  • i just keep watching the trailers, brings back nice memories :')

  • im only 13 and ata is my favretest program. gene hunt is my favretest charictor :)))) i hate jim keets i could kill him by geting the quattro and runing him over ow i fogot im to young 2 drive and the quattro died so i will errrm..... mmmmm.... let me think i will get genes gun and shoot jimbo lol

  • I'm trying to get this on DVD in the States and I can't get it!!!! Loved Life on Mars now I have to see Ashes to Ashes! Brilliant television!

  • @charger19691 For some reason they've only even shown the first two series (of three) of this on BBC America. Not sure what the hold-up is or why there aren't any DVDs. If there's any way you can see it, do! It's beautifully done.

  • If they did another series it would have to be set in the 90's and that wasn't exactly an amazing decade.

  • I loved this programme. Miss it so much.

  • whats does it mean "the truth will out?"

  • @luvanimalcrossing That series 3 was all about who is Gene Hunt and who he really was.

  • Gene apparently forgot who he was until the finale of Ashes to Ashes so how come he was able to send Sam to heaven?

  • @twoface0 thats the question i've been asking too. i wanna know. it makes me no sense.

  • @twoface0 Anyway I E-mailed the BBC to ask them if they could make a one off special about Gene sending Sam to the Railway Arms and his reaction to Gene being an archangel all this time. Maybe if more people contacted the BBC they might agree.

  • @twoface0 because Sam worked out the reason himself-he never told Gene the truth. He asked Gene to help him fake his death so he could "disappear" but really he was going to "heaven". He never told Gene the reason why he had to fake his death! :)

  • @avrillavigne1424 Thanks. But did Gene fake Sam's death all by himself? Chris & Ray didn't seem to know anything about it.

  • @twoface0 errr...not too sure. I think the faking sam's death thing was just between Gene and Sam.... :)

  • THE BEST SHOW EVER!!!

  • Bring Another Sequal Back Please..Were Sam Alex And Gene Could Meet...Again In another Universe Place Thing

  • Actually obsessed with this programme. If i'm bored i'll just watch this trailer to get my daily fix of Ashes.

  • *Things

  • And no, thinks will NEVER be the same again!

  • I miss this show SO MUCH!!!

  • BBC is the best !

  • pleaaaaaaase, tell me that Sam comes back!

  • This song so fits the series (espesialy the last episode)

    We're leaving together

    But still it's farewell

    And maybe we'll come back

    To earth, who can tell?

    I guess there is no one to blame

    We're leaving ground

    Will things ever be the same again?

    except Gene didn't leave with them.. and of couse there is Kits to blame..still good song for them and best trailer ever...I'm so miss the show

  • Fire up the Quattro <3

  • i wish i was born in the 80's

  • Anyone knw when the DVD is out?

  • @della2007 In the UK. Not the USA.

    :(

  • i miss it!!

  • I NEVER want this show to end, not fair.

    I ADORE it so much * SUCH clever writing and brilliant actors and soundtrack. REAL Television drama with a twist and comedy at the same time!

    Exceptional +

  • R.I.P Quattro

  • Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes were simply the best programmes on Tv for the last 20 years.

  • @Stokie09123 i totally agree! (can't really speak for the last 20years though-the last 15 maybe!) i miss it so much!

  • Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes were simply the best programmes on Tv for the last 20 odd years.

  • you notice all the time the quatro is in loads of shots

  • best tv show trailer ever

  • Well, last ashes to ashes has come and gone and still no John Simm, What a big disappointment!!!! I can't believe they didn't have him coming out of the pub to greet them or even show him getting the drinks in. That would of been the ending of all endings! What were the writers thinking! We all know that everyone wanted to see Simm again........ Such a shame!

  • @MeanMachine022

    Why is it a dissapointment that john simm didnt appear. As much as the actors play a huge part, the story was still brilliant, the writers are fantastic, it ended brilliantly!

  • @MeanMachine022 Simm didn't want to play Tyler again as he felt his story had been well and truly told, and anyway, Sam and Annie had passed over long before Drake appeared on the scene. It would have been good to see them all reunited again though.

  • I really wanna watch Life on Mars now!!! The ending was AWESOME!

  • @BethGoth15 Yep, you absolutely HAVE to watch Life On Mars. It's superb. And as the introduction to the Gene Genie, it gave us one of the best TV characters in years :)

  • @MrSinister1979 All right then! I have to see it now! Luckily, it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and I still haven't spent the money. I'll have a look out for the DVDs.

  • @BethGoth15 Look out for the combined box-set of series 1 & 2 - it's much better value than buying them both separately. Plus, some of the cast interviews are hysterical (one of the actors says Philip Glenister does a great Northern accent despite being "a soft Southern pansy" :)).

  • @MrSinister1979 Right, thanks! The next time I'm at the shops, I'll have a good search!!

  • would some cunt let me know wot the fuck the last episode cleared up cos im still stumped,waste of fuckin time watchin this pish

  • @cass2112 Basically: *all* of Gene Hunt's team, not just Alex & Sam, were dead - Gene died as a young bobby, and his mind somehow created a kind of personal purgatory that attracts dead cops. Meanwhile, Jim Keats was really an entity working for a "Nick Callaghan" ("Old Nick" is one of the names for the Devil - hence the lift descending into that red light). In a nutshell, then: Gene was a kind of guardian angel, and Jim Keats was a destructive demon, looking to tear Gene's world down.

  • @MrSinister1979 cheers m8 i thought along the lines of good versus evil,but it still was confusing and not as clear as i thought it would be,all my m8s at work were stumped too

  • @cass2112 No problem :) I have to admit I was a bit confused after watching it as well ("What the hell's going on?!" was a question I asked frequently when I was watching the episode), but then a friend explained it to me in little words, so it all worked out :)

  • @cass2112 watch my video about it

  • I really wish the German tv had the courage to create series as L.O.M and A2A

    Can't hardly wait til July when the DVD-box will be released and I finally know who Gene really is and what has happened to Sam.

  • FINAL TONIGHT :D

  • the american version of life on mars is shit. I would happily slap the whole cast round the face and hard for being an insult and an embarassment. God for-fucking-forbid.

  • I agree. All American versions of uk tv is shit..... @thetalentedmrman

  • sorry about loads of the same comment my computer is a load of carp and isn't working properly...XD

  • been watching series three and trying to think what they are going to say about hunt you know who he is and seeing episode 1 of series two i think that the dude in the hospital bed at the beginning could be gene and he was with sam and is with alex because they are in comas too does anyone else think that???...XD

  • been watching series three and trying to think what they are going to say about hunt you know who he is and seeing episode 1 of series two i think that the dude in the hospital bed at the beginning could be gene and he was with sam and is with alex because they are in comas too does anyone else think that???...XD

  • What music played this video?

  • @gira8100 Europe - 'Final Countdown'

  • Just copied this from the bbc ashes site, from the description of the final episode... "When Gene discovers that Alex has gone, he races after her leaving Ray Carling, Chris Skelton and Shaz Granger to plan an ambitious sting operation.

    As Gene desperately tries to reach Alex before she discovers the truth, Chris, Shaz and Ray's world completely falls apart. It's time for Alex and the rest of the team to find out the truth about Gene Hunt"...

  • Here's what I think...

    Sam ain't dead, and Gene is helping him by making out hes dead. Sam is undercover to find out more about MARS, which is still unresolved.

    Everyone in the office is in a coma! Anyone who sees stars is in a coma. Gotta be.

    What I do know for certain is that TV is going to be crap when this fantastic series ends...

  • Gene Hunt is the one in a Coma :-)

  • I'm gonna be sad when this ends too - love ashes to ashes. I don't want gene to be involved in anything bad - wish alex could stay in the 80s and her and gene could get together in the end! hope its a happy ending!

  • LOVE this trailer

  • I'm gonna be really sad when this ends. :(

  • I think they could be dead, and they don't realise it. I think Alex is having a near death experience, and she is trapped in limbo, because the man from the last series was from her world, and he was in the same situation.

  • That dead policeman that Alex keeps seeing really freaks me out !!

    It is really bothering me who he is - the uniform he is wearing is from the early 60's

  • i really dont want gene to be responsible for sams death. i agree with the comments, i think sam might not be dead. gene is obviously involved, its just the question of how much is he involved?

  • *Can't wait 'til Friday*

  • Did anybody find it really creepy at the end of the last episode when Jim was holding Louise in his arms and was comforting her as she died. *shudders*

    Fingers crossed that Alex and Gene finally admit their feelings for each other in this series.

    Sad to know that this is the last series.

  • @nomie2005 I agree, almost as if he is stopping her from saying anything. I suspect that Sam is not dead but Gene is hiding his whereabouts from the creepy Jim and whoever he is working for. I am disappointed the two years of chemistry between Alex and Gene has gone during this series, very odd.

  • @angietwentyfourseven I think Gene Hunt and all of the others are dead. Why did shaz and Ray see stars? They obvious have a connection with something. Chris is the only person not to have his 'life on mars' moment and never saw stars for some reason.

    And I think the dead police man Alex keeps seeing is actually the real Gene Hunt.

    I don't know who Jim Keats is though? Maybe some sort of gaurdian angel or soul collector?

  • Its been class so far :D I will be gutted if gene was responsible for sam's death :/

  • SO COOL!! I can't wait for this, I'm ordering it from the UK as soon as it hits DVD there. If I wait for it to come on BBCA, I'll be waiting forever. We haven't even gotten the second series yet!!

  • that would be cool if in 20 years or something they made a TV show that is like ashes to ashes / life on mars but he goes back in time to the 20th century

  • @chocoaddcition Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes do go back to 20th Century!

  • "Dear Ford Motors, Please please bring back the Capri MK III . It was unique...I had two over the years...failing that ... build me a time machine :D"

  • I bought all the LOM and A2A's thus far on DVD and will definitely be getting this final series when its released. I'm just hoping that the writers aren't being straight with us and John Simm will put in a cameo at the end. (Get on the phone guys there's still time for a bribe - lol ) I'd even settle for some previous footage if need be. As much as I love this series I can't help but feel that Life on Mars seems a little bit ..detached ..now. Seeing Sam Tyler would compact it all again for me.

  • @1066gull or quantum leap hopeing his next leap will be the leap home

  • Love it, best thing on t.v :-)

  • ive only just finished series one of this and i think its amazing.

    After only two episodes i was already routing for Alex and Gene to get together.

    Lets all keep out fingers crossed :)

  • its like ashes on mars

  • did u see that capri! oh yes this is going to be brilliant!

  • Holy Shit. i didnt even know they had a trailer out already! OMFG, i am too excited now. cannot wait for this to come back, i'm probably gonna be pretty sad once it ends

  • I don't know why but i just love this trailer, I hope Gene didn't kill Sam or as i have heard that Gene Hunt isn't Gene Hunt but a "Crinimal mastermind" pretending to be Gene but i do hope that Gene and Alex get together this series as everyone wants them to lol

  • I like the character keats, a proper villain, with scary glasses...:P

  • OMG, Sam! I've to watch this!

  • one word ,, GREAT

  • OMG I no longer have access to BBC 1 ... this is a disaster D:

  • that was 31 seconds of sheer glory

  • Cannot wait for tomorrow night. shame its the beginning of the end of Gene Hunt and Alex Drake

  • Gene killed sam tyler

    times up as he is going to get caught

  • @grantdullage1995 We don't know it yet i just hope your wrong :(

  • Alex and Gene better get it on!

    I can't wait for this :) I hope we hear more about Sam!

  • Finally got my bro to watch Life on mars, he's more excited than me for the final season.

  • Show up tyler!!!

  • Yes this friday!!! Can't wait!!

    ;D

  • aaaaaaaaaah can't wait. someone please post it when it airs in the UK. i dont think we;ll get it on aussie tv for a while and im desperate!!

  • The 80's was such a great decade. Except that bitch Thatcher!

  • @zzzoe11 Quite a significant qualification there Zoe! The Falklands, the poll tax riots, the miners' strike. And her bosom buddy was that twat Reagan, who's still hailed as a hero to this day. A decade of Gekko-like capitalist fetishism which has really came to a head now with the current recession.

  • @zzzoe11 agree on my side of the pond we had Regan to fuck things up

  • @zzzoe11 thatcher bought in free market principles.

  • i love ashes to ashes i cant wait to friday

  • yeah cant until friday

    yeah hear more sam tyler in this series

  • same

  • YES!

  • i LOVE alex's new look cant wait for friday

  • Yay! Only a few days away. How I wish I were Alex Drake...

  • Sam's picture! So there's going to be at least some mentions about him. Are we going to find out what happened to him?

    Can't wait it to start!

  • amazing..!!!!

  • OMG!!!!

    Can't wait to watch it....... on this site (I'm from NZ).

    Hope you fans are going to enjoy it. :)

  • I hope I can hear more about Sam Tyler in this series.

  • YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSS Ashes to Ashes finally some good tv (aswell as dr who) give me this over a holly wood movie any day

  • damn, alex is hot

  • this trailer takes the pee, it looks so aewsome and we have to wait to actually see the show...

  • I think it's going to be more about Gene. In S2, he was feeling betrayed by everyone around him, and he's getting "darker."

  • Yes cant wait for the Gene Genie & Alex is looking hot!!

  • if it is true that gene murdered sam im hoping maybe he cut sam's brakes or something, so sam could of gotten out alive and be secretly surveying gene ahh im just holding out hope that sam makes even a brief cameo, come on john simm you know we want you back

  • "FIRE UP THE QUATTRO" this is going to be epic.

  • Episode 2 is going to have Philip Glenister's wife in it!

    This music always makes me think of Arrested Development. This looks awesome, would be perfect if Sam appeared in the finale too.

  • Can't wait to see it. Since series 2's ending I don't understand a shit of it anymore. I want to know what's going on :P

  • I am really looking forward to this.

    FRIDAY 2 APRIL BBC 1 9PM.

  • I hope that Sam Tyler/ John Simm is coming back for the end of the show, and not only in flashback or pictures.

    But for the moment it is just rumors no ?

  • OMFG EXCITEEEEED

  • I can't wait!!!!!!

  • So bloody excited!

  • Hmm is a certain DI making a comeback? The presence of his file in the trailer/an episode could act as foreshadowing... and Sam could easily have faked death to go undercover.

  • @sword4thelord Sam's not coming back, it was said in an interview that Gene may have murdered Sam.

  • Whens it starting?? OMFG

  • @HollieAndHerHorses Good Friday !!!!!!

  • SO EXCITED!

  • I know a spoiler for the ending which I will not share on youtube.

  • Answer One Thing xD

    Same Tyler?! :)

  • Yes

  • Pls say!

  • I've heard that Sam Tyler is returning.

  • let's just hope it's not just all a dream as they travel on a space mission to Mars...

  • I hate Keeley's new hair. Can't Wait!

  • keeley hawes. cant get better than that

  • At LAST; an explanation for where Gene fits into this whole time-travelling hallucination-ish mess...

  • 0:16 WHATS HE BEEN IN ?

  • Hustle

  • He was in The Bank Job and he was in Hustle earlier this year

  • @chrisspencerbarnes He's been in the lastest series of Hustle.

  • @chrisspencerbarnes he was in Huslte a few weeks ago :)

  • he was in huslte as a business man

  • No, that's Phillip Glenister's brother

  • He was in the last series of Hustle - the guy who had the Dragon's Den-related fantasy.

  • I think that is Phillip Glenister's older brother actually.

  • I just saw the tracklisting for the new soundtrack and there's one like, made for it called the kiss ... I wonder who that could be for :)

  • where can you see the tracklisting?
