Ashes to Ashes Season 1 Episodes
Season 1 Episode Guide
8 Episodes 2008 - 2008
"Ashes To Ashes" takes you back to 'the decade that taste forgot', the 1980's. The season revels in 80s nostalgia, providing plenty of sight jokes and of course, a brand new car for Hunt. DCI Hunt has left the relative comfort of the Greater Manchester Police to take on the 'southern nancys' of London, where he once again acquires a time-travelling sidekick, this time in the sexy and smart DI Alex Drake. Alex's journey began back in 2008 when she was shot during a botched kidnapping of her daughter Molly. Her psychology background and in-depth knowledge of the Sam Tyler case lead her to dismiss her predicament as a vivid hallucination. Nevertheless, with crime rife on the streets of 1980's London, and a police team that's not very receptive to modern career women, Alex has a lot to prove before she can figure out how to get home.
