Ashes To Ashes - Perfect TV, 2010-09-01
Being an American fan of "Ashes to Ashes" is difficult. Nearly two years passed before the second series started being shown on BBC America so what is a fan to do? And the BBCA website was no help in finding updates as to when it would air, etc. Thankfully, due to a recently purchased portable DVD player which cares naught what region the DVD is coded for, it was order time through Amazon.UK! And I was not sorry - I blasted through series 2 and 3 in one go. This show was amazing - great writing, wonderful characters and an ending that out did the recently ended "Lost". It is not even necessary to have seen "Life On Mars" to follow "Ashes To Ashes" (although it helps when it comes down to the end).
I will miss Gene Hunt, Alex Drake, Chris, Ray and Shaz very much but am thankful for the folks that created such an entertaining and unique viewing experience.

GREAT SCRIPT WRITING!!!., 2010-09-02
I love this series as well,and the chemistry between the character's of GENE HUNT and ALEX DRAKE is just brilliant,and like SAM TYLER before
in LIFE ON MARS the actress KEELEY HAWES just draws you into her world.
I like the way CHRIS says " Yes mam/guv " to her,as he doesn't know how to address her,and SHAZ looking up to her,as she see's her as brilliant!.
All in it's a great series,just like LIFE ON MARS and i like the fact that a female has now went back in time,as she certainly stands up to
GENE HUNT,but then he likes her and doesn't want to admit it.
The last episode will have you crying forever!.

Excellent!!!, 2010-08-18
After watching series 3 of this show, I felt I needed to see the story from the beginning. I started off by borrowing Life On Mars series 1 and 2 off a friend and I totally loved it! I then ordered series 1 of Ashes, and I was amazed. After watching Life on Mars, I didn't think Ashes would be as good, but I was plesantly surprised. The acting is brilliant, there are some great one liners from Gene Hunt, and I am looking forward to series 2 dropping through my letter box! A must have for anyone who enjoyed Life on Mars!

Great Blu Ray disc, ignore the moaners, 2010-06-24
I class myself as a fan of Blu Ray, I can tell between a good and bad HD transfer and am often annoyed with releases that promise much and deliver less than I expect.

I swithered for a while about buying this disc as so many were not happy, too much grain, bad copy etc. I am pleased to say that none of this applies on the disc I had. Maybe it has been addressed at distributor level and this is a better transfer, or the most likely that anyone expecting perfect is setting themselves up for disapointment. I would say for me, the picture is as good if not better than TV broadcasts and I would reccommend to anyone who doesn't already have the DVD. It's a 1970s show, the picture reflects what the producers want to show, just enjoy it.

Ashes to Ashes Series 2, 2010-08-30
If you haven't seen Life on Mars watch it first! Both series are absolutely fantastic, in so many ways. Love the retro music which isn't so retro to me. And the gene genie is such a hunka burning love, I'm sure much to his surprise.

Simply LUSH!, 2009-04-21
Finally I updated my old video copy for dvd and it gave me the perfect excuse to watch it again.
It is just brilliant, the characters are addictive and you'll end up repeating vast chunks of it with your mates.
Yes I supposed it's classed as an old film now but it stands the test of time well and would appeal to anyone who has had experienced the joy of going out at the weekend and making the most of it!
No point telling you all about the story - it will spoil it just go and get it and enjoy!

Staring: Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Harry Dean Stanton, Annie Potts, James Spader
Director: Howard Deutch

The era of Molly Ringwald's profitable collaboration with writer-producer-director John Hughes (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club) was at its peak with this 1986 film (directed by Howard Deutch but in every sense part of the developing Hughes empire). Ringwald plays a high-school girl on the budget side of the tracks, living with her warm and loving father (Harry Dean Stanton) and usually accompanied by her insecure best friend (Jon Cryer). When a wealthy but well-meaning boy (Andrew McCarthy) asks her out, her perspective is overturned and Cryer's character is threatened. As was the case in the mid-'80s, Hughes (who wrote the script and produced the film) brought his special feel for the cross-currents of adolescent life to this story. In its very commercial way, it is an honest, entertaining piece about growing pains. The attractive supporting cast (many of whom are much better known now) does a terrific job, and Ringwald and Cryer have excellent chemistry. --Tom Keogh
My Favourite Film, 2010-08-25
I hadn't watched this film in over 20 years! Teenage film typical of the 80's with some good music and awesome outfits. Forgot how much bad language was in it so definitely deserves its 15 certificate. "But I'll always love you....!" Queue me crying yet again!
