Ashes to Ashes is the 80's set follow-up to Life on Mars.

You can see the trailer here.

If you haven't seen Life on Mars then don't click on it. Instead head straight to your media provider of choice and obtain said TV series. And then watch it all. Now.

I loved it but you actually have a point. It was rather cake and eat it: I think quite a lot of men sat there going "ooh, weren't people bad in those days" while simultaneously rather enjoying Gene Hunt breaking down doors, abusing accuseds, patronising women, employing torture (near as damn in one ep) etc.

It's a bit like every time Batman says "I have to catch those cowardly criminals who you police had to let go because of legal lopholes" ad I go er no, those aren't loopholes, they'rer what we call natural justice..

Anyway LOM had its heart in the right place tho, redemptively (I gave Andy the first series..)

In retrospect I think there's a lot of A Connecticut Yankee in it, but I may be reading too much into it.
