Ashes to Ashes
Overview
Sequel to Life on Mars. DI Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes) is a police psychological profiler examining coma cases like Sam Tyler's - until she, too, is injured in the line of duty. Just like Sam, she awakes in the past - but unlike his case, it's 1981 and she knows what to expect. She even knows that notorious DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) is going to be there. But can she acclimatise to 80s sexism, music and crime?
