ASHES TO ASHES - BBC AMERICA Trailer

[@GorgonGirl07]

God I wish this series was available on DVD here in the USA. I love this show. British television is incredible. So very happy the US hasn't made a crappy version of it.

[@onlinefriend3889]

It's on netflix

[@alangreig4261]

Well they did make a crappy version of life on Mars

[@nygelsylvester4634]

they tried though

Rewatching both LOM AND ATA during lockdown 2020 Hope you're happy too

[@olliered9924]

Same even though I was not even alive then I was born in 1999 but would of liked to experience what 60s 70s 80s etc were like

[@clemstevenson]

I so love this kind of time-warping mystery stuff. I guess the problem for me is that I've actually witnessed some pretty weird stuff in real life. Other people only get to see the fictional material, so they assume that all weirdness is fictional. I can't tell people who haven't had bizarre experiences that the weird stuff isn't all fictional.

[@Canusdous]

This show is really wonderful. It took a few to find its feet but at the fourth in the series they were frackin' brilliant. I actually thought it more fun and more compelling than LOM. To each his own. The chemistry with Gene and Alex was terrific.

somehow I liked ashes to ashes best, but it is the love for the 80's I think. life on mars was fantastic but the dynamic between the leads in ashes to ashes was electric

[@Stormdragonbrisvagas]

[@discobean54]

So... what brings me here is really an odd set of coincidences (or not?) I discovered Keeley in a movie and the actress embodied everything I imagine in one of the characters in my story- one of the main character's older sister. I have been further developing and exploring the parts in the story where her character comes in as an important character- in 1981. I have been collecting images of people and places and things for years as I come across them that visualize what I see in my imagination. Character or story boards you might say. I often wonder who would play my characters if it were a movie, who would most resemble what I see in my head?? I started adding images of Keeley from various sources because she is perfect! I was drawn to some images of her with a late 70s/80s look about her and that led me to Ashes to Ashes. Here I am now trying to find out more about this series and imagine my surprise that the storyline begins in....1981! Such a strange coincidence. I think I have a girl crush on this actress now.

[@fredmedley1205]

I was trying to find the evil dead comic with the same name but I'm glad I found this.

[@nellekx]

it has a lot to live up to seeing as life on mars was the best show ever

[@flyingrancidm00nfish7]

Americans sure know how to ruin an intro

[@magicamadeye]

nothing new

[@skoolguardian]

what else to expect

[@justlisten203]

I live in scotland so i'm on series 2 aswell. For people who are watching series one, it is fantastic but series two is even better esspecially gene hunt's one liners, 1) you've got a very pretty face but you go on longer than the eurovision song conest. 2) you've just entered gene hunt country head of state gene hunt, cheif of justice gene hunt, exicutioner gene hunt 3)Alex: your playing with them (his officers) Gene: no that's just the way I'm standing (hands in pockets)

[@avrillavigne1424]

And that is how you give away the plotline of the whole series in less than three minutes...

[@poundlandvodka]

ashes to ashes is AWESOME.

[@BambinoChicino]

I'd love to be in America now, because it would mean that I hadnt yet seen this amazing serious and could have the pleaseure of watching it all over again, right from the beginning!! If you havent seen it yet and you fell in love with Gene Hunt when watching Life On Mars? Oh wow you're in for a treat, cos theres Gene Hunt aplenty in this series!! Enjoy xxx PS, At least us Brits are getting series too in about a month, I cant wait!!!!!

[@Elphieuk]

I can't wait for series 2 to start in Britain!

[@mimimirwitch]

Ashes to Ashes is aaamazing. Can't wait for series 3.

[@KingJeorge13]

i am american and i agree whole heartedly.

[@TheWorldAdventure]

Thank you!

[@lenn55]

best show ever!

[@TotallyParanormalEvents]

Mmmmm Keeley Hawes Gorgeous!!!!!! Yes this is a great series, here in the UK we're about half way through series 3 (the final series, sadly)

[@RikAindow]

You're only just getting series 1 of Ashes to Ashes in the US now? We're halfway through series 2 now, love this show.

[@Danny-gs7rv]

great show

[@megmo1571]

That's a really good trailer! :)

[@Charliejay02]

Wow this trailer was totally different to our british one. Yet I love this show, really do. I love Life On Mars too. Although I think that the chemistry between Drake and Hunt is just amazing in this. Has you on the edge of your seat sometimes! Cant wait for the 3rd and final serise next year! :) x

[@RikAindow]

Life on Mars was only ever meant to be 1 season long anyway. It was replaced by Ashes to Ashes, but the story follows on from Life on Mars.

[@ItsInTheGame11]

amazing series. Though I really liked Life on Mars better.

[@johntsingis]

Awesome show!!!

[@smlivingstone]

Both LoM & A2A are terrific shows. Nobody should ever try to remake something that was brilliant to begin with - what would be the point? Would like to mention, tho, that the goodness goes both ways. Many Yanks love British shows, many Brits love American shows. We Yanks borrow more ideas because we have so many more TV channels to fill up! But if there's a difference in style, that doesn't make one better or worse than the other. Love what you can & ignore the rest. Long Live UK/US Telly!

[@RoninDave]

Nice to see David Mitchell's dream wife in a starring role.

[@mehhandle]

This was a great series!

[@PurushaDesa]

It's a different approach. Like a movie trailer, it's about 2 minutes and they're more interested in communicating the various acts of the plot. The domestic trailers are usually quite brief and just try to communicate the overall feel of the show.

[@UK31337]

I heard filming starts on September 7th (Dean Andrews apparently put it on Twitter) John Simm is apparently under contract to appear on stage in something else at the same time of filming :/ but he might take a bit of time out to do a cameo I guess.

[@dntstopmenow]

I think its unfair to compare this to LOM because, independently, the show still held its own in terms of storylines and a new protagonist. I think it could have been worse if A2A was identical to LOM so I give the writers credit for that..

[@KarrieDreammind5]

So I've never seen this show yet but just finished Life on Mars. Is it basically exactly the same concept, only Sam has been replaced by a woman and she's in the 80s instead of the 70s?

[@Loopyloualways]

It's the sequel to life on mars

[@KarrieDreammind5]

Loopyloualways I see. But why isn't Sam there? Or is that going to be a spoiler if you tell me and I should just watch it? :p

[@TheOnlySos21]

Karrie Dreammind You should just watch it. Seriously. It's very good.

[@KarrieDreammind5]

TheOnlySos haha, ok. :)

[@mehhandle]

Hun, believe me, watch it, it's very different.. For a start Sam and Gene never fancied each other ;) lol... Seriously hun watch it. There is a lot about how women were viewed in the 1980s and a twist that will knock your feet out from under you. Hope you enjoy it, let us know xxxx

[@djbethell]

Someone's still in the 80's then!

[@mfitz1968]

I believe the song at 1:05 is a remix of Gigi d'Agostino's "I'll fly with you". A wonderful song.

[@Labruskie]

@Zamidan As I recall, this wasn't the trailer we got in the UK. We got stylised teasers that had no plot content... I'm not sure who's to blame here, are BBC America trailers made in USA or UK? I'll have to look that up... Still, somewhat embarrassingly patronisingly long...

@CycolacFan BBC America comes with mid price range satellite/cable and really old BBC shows like keeping up appearances and are you being served are on late at night on PBS (public broadcasting its a non profit type channel that basically no one besides intellectuals, old people and me watch. Pity that we in the states don't watch enough BBC, instead we watch the local variety which is mind numbing.

Hard to follow the Brittish slang sometimes, but I think it's part of why I like the show, because once I sort of translate it in my mind, the humor hits like a delayed joke. Besides, the 80's references and mentality is funny, and the music gives it a nice flashback. As DI Hunt said..."Fire up the Quattro!" LoL!
