Re: Ashes To Ashes
Later this year it comes on isn't it? I don't think it will be good without John Simm coz him thinking he's going mental was part of the goodness of it all. Is this meant to be set a couple of years after or something happened to them to make them think they're in the future?

It was quite straightforward in the end - he was in a coma, he was having some kind of delusion or dream in his coma, he woke up, didn't like life any more, and committed suicide by jumping off Police HQ's roof. His 'return' to 1973 at the very end took place in the final minutes of his life in the real world. We never get to see just how long Sam gets to live in the 1970s during those final seconds. However we do know that while briefly back at work in 2006, he filed a complete report of his 1970s dream for the benefit of a police psychologist - who will now be played by Keely Hawes in Ashes to Ashes. Expect for her to get a nasty bump on the head and then find herself in her own delusional world whose characters and situations are fuelled not just by her own upbringing (as Sam's was) but also by having just read Sam's incredible story of Gene Hunt and co. It's going to be fun, but don't expect it to be any deeper or strangely metaphysical than that. EDIT ...Unless, of course, the creators' description of what it meant having been in the MEN and not actually within the programme itself, they change their minds and decide to portray it as some kind of alternate reality ... :spin: But I doubt it. :) |
Re: Ashes To Ashes
The point is that the ending is open to whatever interpretation the viewer cares to put to it.Those are always the best endings in my opinion.
That was the reason why I loved the end of The Prisoner...I didn't need anyone to explain it to me because I could put my own interpretation as to what had happened. :) |

Re: Ashes To Ashes
So why didn't he just say/show that, rather than leave it open to interpretation?
And the article also says - "So is this the last we’ll see of Sam Tyler, happy in 1973 cop heaven? Matthew’s not sure. “You shouldn’t write him off completely. "You never know with Life On Mars.” |

The Manchester Evening News blog, which contains the extended version of their interview with Michael Graham, is well worth a read if you haven't seen it:http://blogs.manchestereveningnews.c...e_answers.html Quote:
Personally I don't think they will, and that final quote is probably just the author playing up to the mystique and the hype Life on Mars generated, but we'll have to wait and see. |

Yes, let's hope DCI Hunt is just as non-PC as he was in Life on Mars.... :)

Re: [Merged] Ashes to Ashes
Ms Hawes is extremely yummy in the trailers currently being shown.
This will be a must for the V+ recordings. |
