Product Information

Alex is haunted by a mysterious figure who seems to be the Clown from the music video of David Bowie's " Ashes to Ashes", reminiscent of the Test-Card Girl who bedevilled Sam Tyler in Life on Mars.

While Robert Maclaughlin, writing for Den of Geek, praised Hawes for "the ability to pull off a white leather coat, perm and very, very tight jeans", [39] other critics were negative; Ross blamed the character of Alex Drake for "ruining nearly every scene".

A third, and final, series was commissioned, and filming of the eight 60-minute episodes began in late 2009 [6] [7] This final series was shot in Super 16 again but telecined and mastered for high definition.

As with "Life on Mars," the end (of each season) makes you want to go back to the beginning and watch from your new perspective. In this series Alex tries to figure out what happened to her parents, whose lives are connected to the political unrest of the time, especially Margaret Thatcher's campaign and Lord Scarman's attacks on the police.

In Portugal, the show was broadcast by Fox Life, while in Latin America, the series is shown on HBO Plus. I would still recommend the Uncut Versions though because some of the removed footage is quite nice.

The arrival of DCI Jim Keats, sent by Scotland Yard to monitor the station's performance, throws some unexpected light on past events. A cliff hanging ending leaves the viewer completely confused as to what time period Alex is actually in. Philip Glenister was introduced to David Cameron, future UK Prime Minister, at the 2009 Police Bravery Awards.Although Jim is ostensibly friendly with Hunt's officers, he makes no effort to conceal his hatred of Gene when the two are alone, and attempts to turn Alex against him. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. However, in reality, Keats was the devil who was attempting to bring down Gene and his world, dragging Hunt's colleagues down to 'his department' ( hell). Flanked by his faithful sidekicks, Ray Carling (Dean Andrews) and Chris Skelton (Marshall Lancaster), and drawn to the action and intrigue of the London Met, Gene turns his attentions to taking on the 'southern nancy' criminal scum. Subsequently, Kudos Productions—which owns the copyright to the Gene Hunt character—wrote to both parties requiring them to cease using the image.
