The finale of Ashes to Ashes was the end of the storyline, the people behind the show have said there won't be sequel and I for one hope there isn't either.

Gene was reading a Mercedes brochure at the end of last night's show. From what I could see it was a 190D ! Hardly the most aspirational car in the 80's. The 190D was a taxi in some parts of Europe !

The E series as a whole is a taxi in most of Europe.

I know and I said 'was' and 'in some parts' such as Portugal.

I loved Ashes to Ashes, but I can't see them doing a new series, now the twist has been revealed it wouldn't be the same, I suspect the new arrival was shown to show Gene still had a job and a purpose, it wouldn't have been such a good ending if Gene had been left alone and carless. Also a new series would want to be forward in time again and the 90's/ 00's is too recent.
On the car front, a 190D would be a shade dull for Gene but maybe he has matured a little, or he couldn't get a brochure on the 190E Cosworth, bearing in mind since the twist cars don't have to be 100% correct on release date or affordability.

Quite the opposite, I loved it but there's no need to do any more as everything has been answered, they should stop while they're on top and let Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes go down as some of the best television the BBC have ever made.

Ashes to Ashes is what makes British TV better than American stuff look at Lost how many series?? With a British show they can decide that 3 series is enough so clear up the loose ends and run the finale, none of the spinning it out then having the show axed before the finale.

Why do we need another one of these? Was it so hard to miss the 33 page thread already running on A2A?
