To find Gene Hunt vv attractive?

[DominicCummingsGilet]

I’ve started watching Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes as they’re now on iPlayer. I missed them first time around. I remember someone mentioning Philip Glenister as being hot and thinking but now I totally see it!

Anyone else?

His brother is his inferior. Gene all the way. His acne scarred face only adds to the allure...and his accent.

I like John Sim but he’s puny.

Or is it Simm?

Is it good Ashes to Ashes? I was pondering it on the i player..

John Sim is so not fit. He's like an aging child.

Gene Hunt has been mine since 2007
Right who's having hoops for their dinner?

The Gene Genie can rip off my bolly knickers and pop his champagne cork any time. God yes.

@hellinabreadbasket I watched that episode earlier! I know the scene you mean! Swoon swoon! I also love the scene where they're stuck in that vault.

Mmmmm

Love him!
I watched the scene last night where he and Drake were dancing to Spandau ballet True and were just working up to a kiss. That man is just swoooooon

Such a kissable mouth.

And he loves a mixed metaphor...but still

Another Gene fan here, must have watched the 2 series Lord knows how many times. Superbly written and acted. I loved Keats too, not going to spoil it in case there's folks not seen the end but his character was brilliant.

It's 1973, it's lunchtime, I'm 'aving 'oops

You are all being VVU. I love the series, think he’s one of the best things in it, but sexy? Hmmm.
A friend of a friend was convinced that as a fan of the character, I must therefore be similarly afflicted with Gene Hunt lust. So for a while she filled my timeline with posts of him. I never had the heart to tell her. 😂

He can fire up my quattro any day.

I think his hair and clothes are better in A2A.

Oh god YES!

Philip Glenister is my all time celeb crush. Old enough to be my dad but I still very much would.

Especially as Gene.

I read all of the Cormoran Strike books with Philip Glenister in the title role in my minds eye.

When it was televised I really couldn’t warm to Tom Burke

Definitely better dressed in A2A!

Oooh love Gene Hunt, I felt the same about DI Jack Regan (John Thaw) in The Sweeney back in the day

That’s interesting fairisle! I think I saw the TV adaptation first so always had Tom Burke in my head whilst reading.

Yes I understand exactly the appeal although I'm more into androgynous pretty boy types.

Huge Ashes to Ashes fan here.
I'll admit I was never keen on 'Life On Mars' but I'm an eighties girl anyway and a huge amount of my style is inspired by the character of Shaz Granger and also Alex Drake. I live in batwings and skinny jeans and berets.

But yes Phillip Glenister does have a certain appeal to him in a rugged manly way. As for the scene with him carrying Bolly, yes, I know that scene well.
