Ashes to Ashes

[JHyde]

I loaned the DVDs to my sister this week and warned her that the first two episodes aren't too crash hot but that the rest of the first season is excellent.

Keeley Hawes can be get a little over excited on the diction front (you can tell she spent however many years in elocution and 'ducks ditty' recitals') which can really bother me but she does the big emotional moments really well and always has done. NW, I know, is very jealous of her ability to cry on cue. I like her a lot in this and it's a good part for her.

I'm also very glad Jackie came back in season 2 in his camel coat - she was a character in LOM that I really liked and always wondered why they didn't re-use her. I liked her hair better in the early 70s though!

I have a theory about who gene hunt really is, which is supposedly what season 3 is all about, but i might wait and see how they start the third season and see if my initial suspicions are right.
