Having pondered for some time, and been initially quite unimpressed at the thought, I have to say I'm looking forward to the next series of Ashes to Ashes now, I wasn't really but I like the way they've linked the two and some of the changes for the next series.
I also watched Detectives on the Edge of a Nervous Breakdown again, and that was good. Shouting George of the Weeney, The Bullshitters, Jason Bentley and Spanker the moody 90's Geordie copper whoi is always looking out of the window.

If anyone has enjoyed Life on Mars and hasn't seen any Sweeney for 20-30 years I can fully recommend it, it's uncut 100% proof guv-filled stuff. I may have to start watching it again at some point.
