The Tellybox: Spinning off from Mars – Ashes to Ashes
Life on Mars, the story of the time-travelling comatose Detective Inspector Sam Tyler, was arguably one of the biggest TV hits of the past couple of years. So the temptation to do a spin-off was pretty much too hard to resist. But how to continue the adventures of Gene Hunt, the 1973 Manchester “hit […]
