I’ve been furloughed so I’m watching far too much Netflix.

Anyway, I’ve just binged Life on Mars and I’m now on Ashes to Ashes, and can I just say that Gene Hunt makes me swoon. To quote a mumsnet classic, he gives me the fanny gallops!

I don’t even care if I’m being unreasonable Grin

mrsbtheparker you’re right.
But I don’t want to marry him, I just want to s**g him.

@LemonadeAndDaisyChains

Me and a friend (much older male, drinks in my pub) were obbsesed with Ashes. So much so we only call each other Guv and Bols now. Been doing it for years, it feels really weird if anyone calls him Alan!! 😂

Having grown up in the 70s/80s I worry it’s a bit Oedipal, but oh yes...

ShowOfHands · 30/04/2020 21:54

Surely it isn't the 70s. I presumed John Simm is in a coma and dreaming of an out of shape, unlikeable cliche in a cheap suit. No? Wink

I've just rewatched all of Dr Who from Eccleston onwards. Now there's a series.

I've also tried getting into Spooks which I'm enjoying but am finding the supposedly swoonworthy Matthew McWhatsit sulky and one dimensional.

I like David Mitchell.

With this comment, you haven't watched Ashes to Ashes yet, have you?

Motorheadmum · 30/04/2020 21:59

Yes!!
I think the Gene Genie had a lot of us a bit of a flutter!

The chemistry between the 2 In Ashes to Ashes was incredible.

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 30/04/2020 22:03

oh yes ladies...keep your knickers on

NEW SERIES!!!!

LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 30/04/2020 22:15

Cannot WAIT for the new series
Will be interesting to see how it ties in
oh and the Gene Genie of course Grin

@DressesWithPocketsRockMyWorld that line's from Monkfish. :o

sweetheartyparty · 30/04/2020 22:25

I loved both but my favourite was the last series of A2A. The little clues peppered throughout to what was happening to them all was just amazing. The last episode was the best TV episode I think I've ever watched

DressesWithPocketsRockMyWorld · 30/04/2020 22:28

I dont want to see him changing nappies that would be disgusting!!!

I just want him to shag my brains out.

elp30 · 30/04/2020 22:31

I have found my people!

I was debating what to watch tonight.

It's time to "fire up the Quattro!"

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 30/04/2020 22:33

Gene Hunt can do my 'oops anytime Grin
He was sex on legs.

And the last episode of Ashes to Ashes had me roaring too. It was so sad.

Graphista · 30/04/2020 23:01

even if I suspect those polyester shirts probably smelt a bit

Probably a mix of brut, sweat & cheap Fags 

They're on my Netflix list but I watched them avidly the first time around,

Definitely not my usual type at all... But I definitely would!

Must admit at one point I had a fwb who was like a Scots version 

Fantastic as a fwb but no good for dating!

I'm smack bang middle of Gen x may have something to do with it as I grew up watching 70's cop shows

@pandarific wish I could watch true detective! I've watched that scene with Matthew McConaughey and Michelle Monaghan oof

But not been able to access the actual series

And yes season finale was heartbreaking Sad

New series? Ohhhhhh yes please! Glad to see writer wants liz white back she's fabulous

MidnightBlue28 · 30/04/2020 23:02

Isitweekendyet · 30/04/2020 23:36

"Have you heard? Oxtail's back on. Must have read my letter"

"Wasn't really a letter, was it, Guv? Oxtail. Now."

Absolutely no words for how much I adored both series. But Gene and Alex had a special place in my heart - the final episode never fails to GUT me.

Can you imagine the Relationships threads from Mrs Hunt?

MidnightBlue28 · 01/05/2020 00:03

Behind the scenes - Tufty the Squirrel cameo from LoM - Gene being Gene warning 😉

Clocking Off ! Was that about the carpet factory?

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 01/05/2020 00:11

Clothes factory. Mack. Swoon.

PyongyangKipperbang · 01/05/2020 00:13

Wasnt clocking off about an electrical component factory, with Margi Clarke in it? Or am I thinking about something else?

blubberball · 01/05/2020 00:14

Life on Mars was a brilliant series.

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 01/05/2020 00:24

Pyong different thing. I think the Margi Clark thing was a film or on C4.
