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 Confused but now I totally see it!

Anyone else? Blush

Ohhh Gene Hunt. There is something about him that gives me fanny gallops. I so would. Wink

ElizaDee · 13/09/2019 20:46

No that's not him @NoTheresa

Ohflippineck · 13/09/2019 20:47

Bloody gorgeous.

ElizaDee · 16/09/2019 11:37

This is driving me insane. Every google search is just giving me the same shit.

It’s not Carver Eliza? He’s quite rough.

ElizaDee · 16/09/2019 15:00

@Siameasy Jim Carver? No.

He was in something like Luther etc.

ElizaDee · 16/09/2019 15:01

@ElizaDee you’re not thinking of Dalziel and Pascoe are you?

ElizaDee · 16/09/2019 15:53

No, none of those.

JumpyLiz · 16/09/2019 16:18

Oh god I think I know who you mean. Pocked, weaselly face, cockney accent, brown coat with a black collar(?)

Such a familiar face but I can’t think of his name or what he’s been in

ElizaDee · 16/09/2019 16:49

@JumpyLiz Yes. He was in some kind of police or detective thing, on terrestrial TV.

ElizaDee · 16/09/2019 16:50

Not this one.

The name Phil keeps coming to mind, but I think that’s because I’m mixing him up with Phil Davis (I know it’s not him£)

ElizaDee · 16/09/2019 16:52

Not Minder either, he had a black collar.

Singlebutmarried · 16/09/2019 17:20

The bloke who was the bent DC in the bill. After burnside. Went on to play Johnny something in eastenders??

ElizaDee · 16/09/2019 18:24

No, that's him out of parklife, it's not him.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 16/09/2019 21:22

Not Hargreaves from Line of Duty?

ElizaDee · 16/09/2019 21:49

Is that the boss? No not him. This one has really short hair.

Cannotresist · 16/09/2019 21:56

@ElizaDee
Bill Murray aka DCI Beech?

ElizaDee · 16/09/2019 22:15

Life In Mars, YABU, Ashes To Ashes, with you all the way. The 80s were definitely kinder to him and I loved the chemistry with Bollyknickers too.

Graphista · 17/09/2019 01:37

You're not wrong op. I watched it first time around and have to say my personal observation is that a lot of people came late to the life on Mars/ashes to ashes party.

I got a lot of Confused type looks when I tried to explain it to folk, at which point I'd generally give up trying to explain and just said "just bloody watch it" which a number of them did and then came back to me gushing!

I'm SO pleased it's on iplayer does it say how long it's available for?
