Ashes to Ashes: The finale

[KayHarker]

Mark your places ladies, for the final leg of the journey!

Sorry, first post should have started, 'DH just read...'

octopus, will check on that Over the Rainbow song and get back to you. What's the APR 13 reference?

octopus is thisthe version?

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

oops, beat me to it!

Alex asked for an APR 13 form and Gene told her it didn't exist. Or something like that!

Marking place. Love the idea of a wizard
of oz theme, wonder if it means Gene will be floating away over Fenchurch East on a big sparkly gold half moon.

SPOILER ALERT IN THE MAIL ONLINE. DONT LOOK IF YOU DONT WANT FRIDAY SPOILT!!

Aaagh, but I want to look.....!! noooooo!

To add to the biblical/Keats references, after the whole 'centre cannot hold' stuff- the figure on the weathervane is putting me in mund of a strange beast slouching towards Bethlehem, or whatever the phrase is...

That is a lovely version.

Re the Daily Mail - [ shock] [faints away in a victorian heroine style swoon emoticon]

I can't find the Daily Mail thing, is it a new one today, different from yesterday's article?

ooooohhhhh god, someone stop me from looking!

I peeked I couldn't help it - it wasn't a spoiler at all

I am expecting to be none-the-wiser at the end. I agree with KayH, I don't think they even want to answer all our questions.
We will be left puzzling.

I looked too. I couldn't find it either, had to search 'Ashes to Ashes' to find it. (So can't really claim to have stumbled upon it accidentally.) And it isn't reeeeeally a spoiler - more something that HAD to happen.

Am beyond excited now!

Sorry,,,,,,, thought that would have counted as a spoiler!!

'And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? '

from W.B. Yeats' (shame it's not Keats) 'The Second Coming'.

look what I found

Marking my place too.

Every time I see the trailer, I am just beside myself with excitement. Just so very excited for friday!!!

dh thinks I have officially gone insane.

another WoO reference I just noticed:
Mackintosh's report on Gene says the following about Gene:

To be blunt, DCI Hunt can be a cheeky bastard with a defiant stare that I once noticed in a Labrador of my wife's. Said Labrador (Suki) was eventually destroyed when she bit me on the hand.

Gene might therefore be Toto :
Dorothy runs away with Toto to protect him and prevent him from being euthanized by Miss Almire Gluch (according to Wiki; I have never seen WoO myself).

There was also scene in the last episode where (I think) Ray and Chris are discussing Gene being a labrador behvaing like a rottweiler, or something like this.

So looking forward to Friday.

Just ordered the 'hoops' T (ahem, and hoops is what DH and I will be having if i don't return to the kitchen).

Thanks Pixel!
