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

No it's not Hargreaves.

Good lord, of course YANBU.

And I agree that Gene Hunt makes John Simm look like a weedy little boy (and I really like John Simm).

I prefer Life On Mars to Ashes to Ashes because I love the 70s brownness of it all.

Eliza Dee

Not Minder either, he had a black collar”

“Hazel”?

ElizaDee · 17/09/2019 11:09

No not Hazel, thats too old.

Ohflippineck · 17/09/2019 11:20

Oh, thought you meant an old series.

longwayoff · 17/09/2019 11:46

Ah Gene, from the Age when Men were Men and women were slappers, at best. Great series.

DominicCummingsGilet · 17/09/2019 17:35

It’s not Jackson Brodie is it? Though he was a private detective. He has a Yorkshire accent though I think.

Graphista* it says 11 months.

Aww thanks! Great stuff. I'll finish person of interest then start on life on Mars.

Just a word of caution to those posting re John simm - apparently today he is telling that he is/was an anorexia sufferer so maybe be considerate of this when posting about him?

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

Billy Murray I think you mean who DID play don beech in the bill and Johnny Allen in eastenders, definitely attractive and I don't normally go for older.

I am a 50 year old peri menopausal woman who thought she was dead from the waist down.
Thank you OP, I re-visited this on I player and Gene Hunt made me realise I am very much alive.Grin

Why not google to find out which cop wore the brown coat? It is so annoying.

Really? I thought that was Christopher Eccleston?

Graphista · 17/09/2019 20:24

Ahhh balls you're right - apologies confused the 2 (didn't have a good night last night in my defence even worse than usual)

NoTheresa · 17/09/2019 20:24

No worries.

katseyes7 · 17/09/2019 20:27

DominicCummingsGilet · 18/09/2019 22:49

@ElizaDee have we had Brian Cox yet? It’s really bugging me now!

DCI Banks? Taggart?

stormsurfer · 18/09/2019 23:32

Frost? George Gently? Sorry I'm just giving the character names! Not so good at the actors!

No none of those.

He was bald or shaved head. Pock marked cheeks. In something like Luther/prime suspect etc. He was a detective. He may have been in a team with a partner. He smoked. He had a brown coat. He may have played villains in other shows.
