Has anyone seen the 'Ashes to Ashes' trailer? What do you think?

I think it looks very entertaining, but I'm worried it's going to be a bit of a parody of itself.
Still...Phillip Glenister [sigh]...

Its getting a good write up in radio times.

Only time will tell I suppose.

I wanted to watch it after I read the Radio Times piece on it - all that 80s stuff.

I can't wait. It looks fab. Loving the guy with the Tash (can't remember his name) curly perm. Also love Keeley Hawes. And I love the 80s.

It's my late teenage years, the early 80s, & I know the style & music inside out so I really hope they don't make any mistakes or it will be very irritating! I loved Life on Mars but I was only 8 in '73 so I don't know if there were any howlers.

Early teens for me scampadoodle and I'm also a huge fan so I hope they get it right. Good production company though so hopefully they've done their research. Going to set Sky+ for it (and new ANTM which also starts next week) tonight.

yes looking forward to it, can't judge from the trailer though

When does it start?

Next Thursday, 9pm

I'm thinking: shit, it's on Thursdays. When I teach!

Fire up the Quattro!

Oh, I know - love iPlayer. But I don't like watching entire series on the computer! Will have to trust DW to video it. Hmmm.... (Can't use the timer because the stupidly-designed thing will then prevent anyone else from watching anything that evening while I am out.)

Looks fabulous, can't wait. There are bound to be terrible anachronisms (I'm the same age as you, Scampi, and will cringe along with you!) but never mind. I'm just sad that John Simm isn't in it.

woo back on tonight! (i think)

Yes - 9pm, BBC1. I'm really looking forward to it.
