Ashes To Ashes - Alex Drake and Gene Hunt - Slave To Love

[shikiraclareify]

Intense chemistry (sexual tension) combined with intrigue, dislike of one another's approach to policing. Submission to that love is all that it requires between two hot-headed leaders!. I desire that chemistry in real life, just don't believe that it exists today.

[LimerickWarrior1]

I think we found our new Clint Eastwood :P

[djbethell]

God, I so miss this programme. Shame all good things must end...

[portishphonic]

great choice of music

[MrMadeley266]

Excellent Ivagar ... excellent! :)

[ivagarfitt]

@MrMadeley266 Thank you :)

[Bethfromwigan]

was this song actually used in ashes to ashes ?

[ivagarfitt]

@Bethfromwigan i think not.

[redrock1965]

hero ,,gene hunt ,,great programme 

[Mortthemoose]

ha ha.... Brilliant video - thankyou

Can't believe I only discovered this series this year!!

[fan1odw]

Alex and Gene should sooooo get together. But I really don't like Alex Drake. She's so selfish. Sam Tyler just wanted to help everyone. She only does anything to help herself. Tyler really wanted to make a difference. Drake doesn't care. And plus Drake is condescending and patronising and Tyler was a lovely person. 

[Thereisonlythemoment]

Hardly ever watch TV these days, but Ashes to Ashes and Life on Mars - pure quality British Drama. Amazing script and first-class actors. Just adore Philip Glenister. Great Post.

[Geekman333]

The series just ended in Australia less than 24 hours ago. Best TV series I've seen in 44 years. I miss all of them...especially Gene Genie.

Awesome shite BBC. Just excellent!

Peace.

[Cattani1982]

Believe it or not, this video got me into the whole series. So Mr 'ivagarfitt' I owe you a lot. :)

[artosis83]

u simply cant fall in love  with them :)

[fandabbydozy1]

Byran Ferry and Galex.

Im in heaven

[brize9224]

Drake, the ultimate MILF!!!

[m1ch4elj]

shame they both got shot in the head

[xkeeleyhawesx]

love this vid its great well done Xx

[xkeeleyhawesx]

love this vid its great well done Xx

[RasMajnouni]

Telly Inc.has the remarkable ability of taking a great actress and making her into a run-of-the-mill talent. She nneds the work,exposure and money,but why not get her better parts?

[jcfbell3001]

@RasMajnouni

i thot the show filmed her better parts quite well LOLOLOLOL....sorry, had to say it

[Mattyuk1]

Nothing like the 80's this. what s shambles.

[josatinho]

ALEX DRAKES FUR IS LEGENDARY <

[brize9224]

PISS OFF YOU LARDY FASCIST!!!!!!

[redandover60]

Thank you, absolutely great clips and with Bryan Ferry Slave to Love, so appropriate.

[rumpole33]

when gene says "well, your presence is required just a little bit longer around here by me," that's very significant, isnt it.... considering what we now know he knew back then...

[craploader]

They have amazing chemistry together. Just a shame they won't end up together.

[elinrees]

what episode is 2:45 - 2.55 from?

[bigvis65]

I wish that was my hand at 0.58:)

[superFrontrunner]

wow there - what episode is 3:01 - 3:05 from?

[ivagarfitt]

@superFrontrunner season 1 ep 4

[samtiler70]

how can you talk about hair thats maybe the third thing i catch eyes on.you must admit she fits the bill for the period. wish theyd push more music into it though

[samtiler70]

How can you talk about hair thats maybe the third thing i catch eyes on . you must admit she fits the bill for the period. wish theyd bring a bitmore music in though.

[vince2000rules]

love it so much!!

[SonicJCG]

Alex looks great in the cat outfit, gene couldnt take his eyes off of her! hoping they have a real moment soon, its gotta happen surely!!!

[SonicJCG]

@SonicJCG this comment is meant for the slave to love clip, think i put it in the wrong place! lol

[1971ELLIOTT]

Mmmm Keeley Hawes Gorgeous!!!!!!!

[lookatwig]

what episode was 3:00 in cause i dont remember that one??

[ladywildcow]

Interrogation Techniques - fanfiction net - superHOT!x

[nomie2005]

Ive only just finished watching the first series. And im moving onto the second at some point tonite.

Maybe the key to her getting back to Molly is Gene. Maybe they have too become a couple for her to get back to 2008. Which would be quiet a sad ending, as these two would make an amazing couple.

[baggybbz]

haha..."piss of you lardy fashist" Classic

[hypergeek21]

Great video as, I half want them to become a couple, but I also want Alex to get back to Molly! By the way which episode is it at 3:18 ?

[ladyyurico1]

Very nice :)

[danofolish]

i ike her in the cat outfit 1:50

[Electrode46]

Piss off you lardy fascist! Yep, that about sums it up.

[mkr88lm]

i can't seem to stop watching this video it's addicting! the song is so fitting. love Gene Hunt! 10x for posting.

[ivagarfitt]

thankx mkr88lm.

[bdub24j]

Nice vid. Love the series, and the sometimes volatile chemistry between Alex and Gene. He's funny and she's sexy as hell. Fire up the Quattro!

[Calibro9]

Gene is GOD!

[LilCoolMizz]

i REALLY hope that Alex And Gene get on better in the third series

[bleedblck]

oh god me 2!!

i hope they get over the disastrous events of ep8 :(

love the video :) good song

xx

[fatbusinessman]

well done

[SHAZR64]

This song brings back memeories!I was a teenager in the 80s. Ah the clothes, the hairstyles the great music. You have done so well with this vid brilliant. On a more shallow note isn't Philip Glenister so... sexy!!!!

[mamornk]

I reckon Roxy Music and Ashes to Ashes go great together, see what you mean about 80s clothes etc. Alex looks well sexier in 80s than in the present, do you reckon Alex and Gene will get it on in series 3?

[tegwenhaf1980]

Definately looks better in the 1980s - I agree!

[sketchesofariel]

This video is really good. I love, love, love it. Well done, ivagarfitt.

[ilovekittywittys]

it doesn't look like her at 0:16

[brightblackjetwhite]

which episode is the one with alex dressed as a cat?

[Haylie2610]

I think it's the 3rd one...

[meldude150]

Love the way you put the beginning together.

"Welcome aboard Inspector."

"Piss off you lardy fascist."

:D

[horatiosgirl]

i love both of them, they just have to wake up and smell the coffee!!!

But how cool would it actually be if Alex woke up and found herself a 21st century Gene, ok it wouldn't be our Gene Genie but...

I love Keeley Hawes she is such and amazing Actress and she's so awesome, im gonna miss these two :_(

[Ifuckingh8you]

Isn´t there going to be a 3rd series?

the ending was pretty open.

[horatiosgirl]

i really hope there will be...its unfair to leave it like that! there has been too much tension between Gene and Alex for it to end without them getting together, please let there be another series!!

[whatliesbeneathus]

There is, BBC confirmed it yesterday!

[horatiosgirl]

I know, i wrote that comment before i knew! But the 3rd series will be the last :( anyhow, celebrate good times my friends! A2A will be back!! WOHOO!

[tissuesandissues20]

I heart this video so much.

[starrygal07]

Can they actually be together?

Because, if she survives, then she will wake up and wont be with Gene...but if she dies...she wont...or am i wrong...?

anyone...just like to know if there actually is achance...they're great together=]!!!!!!!!

[hankwife]

Oh I do like this video, has to be my favourite A2A tribute (and sadly I've seen just about all of them on here). I must get a life, soon...

[davidtennantisno1]

omg when i saw the episode with gene taking alexes hand (young alex) series one i love it so much

[emmawood47]

She is always screaming at him, but she is crazy about him. It is like much ado about nothing, beatrice and benedict!

[Bugsy6701]

Oh my goodness! I am dying for them to get together! but I still love how the script writers are so subtle and haven't really done anything about it yet, it always keeps you guessing and hoping :P

Great video :D

[bollyknickers91]

It's really bugging me, is Keeley Hawes wearing a wig or is it her real hair?

I know in series 2 that is her real hair, but she has a clip on at the back cuz her hair is too short...

But it is bugging me cuz i thought she had blond hair whilst filming series 1?

[ivagarfitt]

real hair. it took hours every day to do it, and after that she changed to blonde for mutual friends and as she said almost lost her hair so was advised to chop it.

[bollyknickers91]

Cool thanks, yeah i was a bit confused lol cuz i watched mutual friends and she was blonde, and she was blonde when she went on Jonathon Ross show whilst Series 1 was showing...

But that is pretty amazing if they managed to do that to her hair!

[emmyjo720]

@ivagarfitt Yeap the combination of the chemicals for a perm, followed by bleach immediately afterward distroyed her hair. She had a extensions in series 2 because her was such a mess still. Now series three it is straight and Keeley's natural hair.

[emmyjo720]

@ivagarfitt Yes going from a perm to bleach so close together wreaked her hair and she couldn't perm it again...Series three she stays natural with straight hair.

[t5y665yrty56]

im just thinking about pride an dpredjudice. How rare is it that the guy acting opposite kiera knightley actually has a better looking bird at home.

[MCBhangramuffin]

Lucky sod that bloke is! Keeley is ten times better looking than "Ikea" Knightley

[t5y665yrty56]

and when you consider how beautiful ms knightley truely is thats an even stronger statement.

[emmyjo720]

Keeley is a better actress than Keira Knightly too.

[robx78]

What's Keira Knightly got to do with Ashes to Ashes?

[emmyjo720]

There is a similarity in looks between Keira and Keeley....

[approp]

Great video. I love this programme and I especially love the Gene Genie. Great chemistry between them.

[CatchTheBastards]

offt her tits are massive =P

[t5y665yrty56]

probably not long after she had her baby

[593OLYMPUS]

Keeley is a babe par excellence! She looks stunning anytime, but in that outfit at 1.57mins how the hell Philip remembered his lines I will never know. My mind would have been elsewhere 4 sure!

[seamweld123]

mint

[Theblondeone2009]

I love, love, love this!!!!What chemistry between Alex and Gene!!!! Such a Joy to watch this before my monday night "fix" tommorrow night:) of A 2 A.

[zark212]

:) xx

[optimisticbabe]

what episode is part 1:57 from?some1, anyone, please :)

[ivagarfitt]

episode 3

[optimisticbabe]

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! your a star (Y) wait did i say thankyou lol

[coffycup75]

Love this. I want to be Alex Drake. The chemistry between her and Gene is just so good!!

[ivagarfitt]

yes, variety of a looks, eyebrows movements, bum scanning ( specially her in a second episode when scanning his bum behind the glasses :o) ), little touches, little talks, body talks....mmmmm.....God I can't wait for A2A2 to start...PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

[DigitalCamera0]

I adore Keely Hawkes since MI5 but in this new show I've been watching she blows me away. Plus makes want to go back to the future

[Blankfrack]

Well done! Keely Hawes is so beautiful. She and Philip Glenister: Beauty and the Beast!

[AUTORECOVERYUK]

Best TV show in years The 80's rule..

[ReveBlsra]

Beautifully done!!

[SparkyGerbil]

Excellent tribute:)

[electricpeppers]

This was amazing!

[emz484]

[simonkhall]

JAN 09

[lora2708]

[hayleigh13]

Actually its March 09

[ivagarfitt]

now that would be some birthday present!

but that is monday...hm...fingers crossed :)

[ivagarfitt]

it is april buaaaaahhh

[tiamo22]

April 2009

[bobofc]

i love ashes to ashes i think it is better than life on mars because i this one u get 2 c the gene genie as he was in life on mars but u also get 2 c the soft side to him i hope him and alex do end up dating :P

[dukefuller]

Am still looking for my gene....x

[sparkythegerbil]

Roxy Music sooo suits Ashes to Ashes visually as well as musically. Great job:)

[mkr88lm]

cute video...i loved the song selection...

it's a good show but life on mars was better because here gene is more restrained beause of alex he can't as blunt as he was with sam...

[wixy20071]

ohh I live and love Roxy Music!!!

[JohnnyDeppsavy]

i hope theyget together lol :p

i love keeley on the no 7 advert she looks stunning

[5A7AH]

i see u all think they will get together. chances are, taht will only happen on the very last episode cus it wud get pretty boring, its the chase we like. if they got together early in the series 2, they wud brake up again and never be the same. as for the person on the phone to Layton, it wud be interesting if it was gene, like he has been looking for her since 1981! but he's in alicante, my bets on taht bastard Evan

[tillytillz]

i think it should be gene on the fone because evan is with molly and i dont think evan would try and not sound bothered if alex gets shot becoz layton says on the fone "well thats ur problem then" so i think it could be gene. I hate evan taking all genes credit too it makes me soo angry!!

[5A7AH]

i have the theory that its little alex. when he says "i've got someone from ur past," he might be talking to the alex hes stood in front off, and little alex could be on the phone.

[tillytillz]

omg i never even thought of that clever, very clever!

[5A7AH]

but you would think that Alex would remember that. i am FULL of theories for the second series. and the fact that the producers are talking about a 3rd, makes me jump through hoops

[tiamo22]

i think you might be right about Gene. If you listen to him in the last episode he says to little alex something like if you need me all you have to do is call Gene Genie, so i wonder if Layton is speaking to gene about alex. The woman he loves is in trouble and then the Genie comes a running back to help her.

[annaarkadyevna]

Love this series. Love this song. Love this video.

[madeluxx]

alex and gene are so sexy together. really hope they get it on in the second series!

[anniecx71]

Thank you thank you thank you.

Fantastic video - SO hope they get together in the 2nd series.

But I have a sneaky suspicion that the person Layton was speaking to on the mobile phone in 2008 when he said "I've got a piece of your past here - Caroline & Tim Price's daughter" may very well actually be Gene Hunt - 17 years later!

Any thoughts? :)

[skulblaka92]

I thought that!!!!! But after the series finale I think it's Evan.

Can't wait for the next series, their love hate relationship is awesome!

[tiamo22]

I thought the same, allthough here's one for all you Ashes to Ashes fans. Could the reason that Alex's parents died be that Evan is actually Alex Drake's father as he had a affair with her mother??.

[madeluxx]

aaah now that's an intresting thought!

[drwhorocks]

Interesting... but I'm not sure how that would work out because they said they'd only been having an affair for a few weeks when little Alex was only... what? 9? 10?

[tillytillz]

ooo that wud be awkward if she found that out because wen he was hitting on her- that would be just soo wrong lol. also evan and caroline said it only lasted a couple of weeks or wer they lying?

[FriendsFanForever]

OMG OMG OMG OMG You are soooo clever, Cos shes his past now!! Maybe theres like a Hostage thing, OMG thanks thats sooo good!

I'm full of ideas for series 2 =]

Reply x

[3lshields]

this is such a good video! they make the perfect couple & i really hope they get it together in the next series.... love it :]

[ivagarfitt]

[SonicJCG]

Gene Hunt is very sexy, hope him and Alex get it together in the next series xx

[maz59]

you've done really well getting all those clips out....I've only just started making vids for here myself, so well done.

I am SO looking forward to the next series, and am hoping he'll get dragged in 2008 with her...what a laugh that would be.

[luh3417]

That was the perfect choice of song for this video!

[maisymoose]

Love the video. Gonna miss Ashes to Ashes!

[ToxicFr]

Excellent vid ! This relationship between Gene and Alex : so good. Added to favorites, thanks.

[Elehk]

Fucking great TV Show!

Fucking great Tribute!

5 STARS!

[pharbi1]

you called?

[dukefuller]

If only...lol Are you a middle aged man with attitude and a dodgy hairstyle, if so apply within???? x

[dukefuller]

You can feel the sexual tension - I need a Gene Hunt :-) x

[a2afan]

anyone here know where us fools who missed the first three episodes can catch them?

[therealmysteron]

bbc i player

[maz59]

I was a foll who missed the first 3 or 4 of Life On Mars and wished I hadn't, so was determined to watch this - so glad I did...

it's so clever, even more than the surface laughs.

Anybody know where I can find a clip of the passive smoking in the car comment?

[ThatIzzyGirl]

Which episode is the clip 2:47 from? I missed I think the first two or three eps and I was wondering which it was from? (Unless I'm a fool and can't remember it is from one I've already seen!)

I think I need to buy the box set :D

Gene and Alex need to get it on!!

[ivagarfitt]

very first one, after "lunch" at Luigi's bar ;)

[ThatIzzyGirl]

Brilliant thanks! Keep these great A2A videos you're making coming!

[ourbovinepublicxx]

You know what I say to little Molly Drake?

P**s off and let your mother get it on with her boss!

(:

Great video, perfect mixture of the love/hate relationship.

[electricpeppers]

Word about the UST.

Great video!

[prairiemuffin6]

Such a good choice of tune, and very well paced clips. It's got to be the best UST on telly for YEARS :-)

[sarahgilly]

This video is soooo great and the song is awesome so much so that i have downloaded it!! Can't stop listening to it now without thinking of Alex and Drake!

[ivagarfitt]

thanks! I know the feeling :D

[Indigomoonlight]

I like the couple, but I always end up thinking about how Alex needs to get back to Molly. Damn child lol!

[Marinamarburg]

Good Work!

[romana55]

Great video, especially the opening lines, Gene/Alex is hot! hot! hot!

[beki611]

Oh, what I'd give to be in England and see this! Alas, I'm in America and tornado - torn Atlanta,GA.

[SuperBitch93]

This video is really good.

one of the best gene hunt + alex drake one's i've seen

Nicee one maytee.

xxx

[ivagarfitt]

thanks superbitch93 :D

[westedk]

Love the very beginning where Alex tells Gene Hunt to 'p*** of you lardy fascit' then the music cuts in - brilliant!

Keep it up!

[light474]

By far, this is the best Gene/Alex vid that I've seen so far! Keep up the awesome work. I'm loving your vids. XD

[ivagarfitt]

Thanks :)

[missymischief]

Brilliant!!!!

[jpmac2234]

Great stuff - nicely done! Great chemistry between those two. I wonder will they ever .... Gene seems to be a lot more mellow in Ashes to Ashes as does Ray. Maybe they are a bit older and a bit wiser!

[Zamidan]

Excellant...Cant wait for more ..you will just have to reedit as the weeks go on...

As the music fits so well..

Fav !

[ivagarfitt]

Thanks...that s exactly what I thought ;)

[herrkamel]

Super Duper Video

Sehr Nice Job.

Danke jA HAHAHAHA

[ivagarfitt]

thanks, herrkamel, I like your videos very much, too ;)

[fiddleandcatz]

I think they will but gene has been married and might not want love

[ivagarfitt]

first marriage is a merely rehearsal for the real thing ;)

[aviekat]

Cool video! Cannot wait to see if these two get together or not!
