To describe the follow-up to Life on Mars as "much anticipated" is like saying
Michelangelo was good at painting ceilings. Lovers of the timewarp drama and its
undoubted star, the unreconstructed yet oddly lovable DCI Gene Hunt, have ticked
off the days until writers/creators Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham's sequel.
And here it is.

Hunt (the wonderful Philip Glenister) has moved from Manchester to the Metropolitan
Police, it's 1981 and he's lumbered with a new sidekick, the gorgeous DI Alex Drake
(Keeley Hawes), who's travelled back in time having been shot in 2008. She knows all
about Sam Tyler and his "delusions", but nothing prepares her for the Neolithic Hunt
and his drones.

Thankfully, yet again, the weird premise works, thanks to smart performances, crackles
of sexual tension between Hunt and Drake, great writing, fabulous music and lashings of
humour. An utter treat.

1/8 - Thursday 07 February 2008
DI Alex Drake is a high-flying police psychologist who finds herself thrust back in
time after being shot by drug-addled Arthur Layton.

Alex opens her eyes to find herself in a drugs bust in 1981, dressed like a prostitute
and part of the fantasy world imagined by Sam Tyler, the DCI she had been studying.

DCI Gene Hunt, DC Chris Skelton and DS Ray Carling arrive with all guns blazing.
They accuse yuppie Edward Markham of being behind the crime, but Alex is
convinced that the young Layton is the mastermind behind it.

Catching Layton might be the only way for Alex to grab control of her destiny.
Will it be the trigger that gets her out of this fantasy, back to her old life and
her daughter Molly?

2/8 - Thursday 14 February 2008
There is a buzz in the air as Charles and Di’s wedding looms, DCI Gene Hunt is
determined that nothing is going to ruin their big day.

Gene's patience is tested when a family barricade themselves in their docklands
pub in protest at the plans for it to be demolished.

In the same area, an unlucky dog falls victim to an explosion and a note is found
at the scene, promising that the next bomb will target Thatcherite developer
Danny Moore. Alex meets the pastel-suited developer and falls for his yuppie
charms, happily accepting a spin in his Delorean and a trip to the legendary Blitz
club, where they bump into a heavily made-up and rather embarrassed DC Skelton.

Alex gets one more surprise when her lawyer mother appears, representing the
suspected bomber.

3/8 - Thursday 21 February 2008
We enter dark waters tonight when a prostitute arrives at the police station claiming
she's been raped and attacked by a "customer". Naturally Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister)
and his male colleagues are, to put it politely, very sceptical, so it's up to DI Alex Drake
(Keeley Hawes) to be more understanding, what with her 21st-century sensibilities.

But everyone soon sits up when Gene notes links with the rape and murder of a young
girl some months before. It's an odd episode that takes its eye off the ball a few times
- for instance, the flashbacks to Alex's past get in the way of a difficult and frequently
unpleasant story. But it's notable for a very sexy "will-they-or-won't-they?" scene
between Gene and Alex. Presumably there will be more of those in the coming weeks.

4/8 - Thursday 28 February 2008
When the body of Martin Kennedy is discovered at a warehouse, Gene is quick to
dismiss it as suicide. But signs of a struggle and a massive blow to the head soon
take the team on a murder hunt.

The investigation leads them to a feminist socialist group connected with the victim.
He has been leaking them information from Edgehampton - the government nuclear
weapons facility where he worked.

Things get murkier when photos of Alex's mother in a compromising position with
Evan are found at Kennedy's workshop. Gene is convinced she has a motive for the
murder.

Using fake ID badges and a deciphered code, Alex and Gene break into a secure vault
at Edgehampton looking for more clues. Tensions and temperatures rise when they
get locked in the dark and airless vault.

5/8 - Thursday 06 March 2008
Gene Hunt and the team are hot on the trail of notorious pimp and drug baron Simon
Neary. Thinking they are about to bust a major drug deal, they tail him to a swanky
hotel. But the room raid only uncovers a suitcase of sex toys and Neary's confused
boyfriend Marcus.

A mole in Neary's gang spills the beans about an arms deal in the pipeline, making
Alex believe that stopping the guns will lead her back to her old life and her daughter.

To get closer to Neary, they need to get Marcus on side and the team go undercover.
Alex leads them to a gay club and Ray is volunteered to use his macho charm to seduce
Neary, proving to Marcus that his boyfriend is not what he appears.

With Marcus on side, they plan to bring down Neary and the arms deal. As the team
get into position, something isn't right; shots are fired and the team speed into action.

a high-profile manhunt. Alex decides that a reconstruction on TV show Police 5,
and the help of Shaw "keep 'em peeled" Taylor, will help find the perpetrator.

Alex's clown warns her that someone is going to die and she fights to keep control
of the case. But Gene decides to deal with things in his usual, violent way and Alex
is terrified that his actions will lead to a death.

and Alex finds herself trying to save the life of one of the team.

8/8 - Thursday 27 March 2008
Alex is just 24 hours from the event that changed her life: the murder of her parents
in a car bomb. She believes that if she can save her parents, she'll get home to her
daughter Molly in 2008, and so embarks on a mission to change history.

With the help of a reluctant and baffled Ray, they destroy the car she thinks her
parents died in. Meanwhile, back at the station Lord Scarman pays a visit and
Gene will stop at nothing to give a good impression.

Alex arrests her parents for drug possession and locks them up overnight, in a bid
to keep them in her sights and prevent the newly released prisoner Arthur Layton
from blowing them up. But time is running out and she cannot keep them in custody.

As Alex and Gene race to where the bomb is set to go off, it seems everything's in
place as it was 27 years ago. But will Alex's efforts be enough to save her parents
and get her back to 2008?
