Have introduced Crow to Life on Mars/Ashes To Ashes
He is pleased that there is minimal Bowie despite first thoughts. It's nice to watch them again, I think I missed most of the second series of AtA.

Life on Mars would be so much better
without that whinging moraliser Sam in it.

I don't know, I liked Sam. I think a lot of the humour came from him being a stick in the mud.
I just find the whole "OMG IT'S MY MUM LET ME CALL YOU MY MUM EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T KNOW ME" thing (in both shows) absolutely mortifying. And not even in a good way.

Agreed.
It was a weak point in the plot. As was the sexual chemistry between Gene and Alex. Please...

It was a poorly conceived plot device to hook the female viewers IMHO
And he never got to knob her.

I quite liked his character...
...more so than I did the American version. Seen it? The ending is very twee but a good twist.

Well you're not missing that much
Their Annie is much hotter and can actually act, but Harvey Keitel as Gene Hunt just doesn't work.

I'm never going to watch the American version.
I cannot imagine Gene Hunt not being from Manchester. It'd be wrong.

The whole
"Hey, why youse bein' a woise goiy" 70s American cop thing is a total turn off for me. I can't bear watching films like French Connection for this reason, let alone a remake of a series that I quite like in which they appear to have missed all of the subtleties that made it watchable.

Why do 70s American cops have Birmingham accents?

Hello you
I wanted to talk to you about something but I can't remember what it was, now. Are you doing a Masters at KCL next year?
