He says: "The Eighties have had a real revival over the past few months; Ashes To Ashes seems to have captured the imagination of the nation.

Μύ

"I'm sure viewers will be desperate to know who's back in the second series but for now they'll just have to tune into the last episode of series one to find out."

"The series epitomises all that is great about Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ drama with its bold, confident storytelling and great characters.

Μύ

"I can't wait for more blue eyeliner, Quattro cars and Eighties music to burst on to our screens in 2009!"

Μύ

Ashes To Ashes is written and created by Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharoah, two creators of the award-winning Life On Mars.
