About this deal

In an interview with SFX, series co-creator and executive producer Matthew Graham stated that he was considering making a 3D episode. Series 2 touches on police corruption as a story arc, and brings into play the superb Adrian Dunbar as the anti-hero to gene Hunt's straight down the middle results based policing. Also, I strongly advise to watch all 5 seasons of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes at least twice because the ending of Ashes to Ashes puts everything in a new perpective.

Life on Mars received a Blu-ray release however it was just an upscale and many recommended not to invest over the DVD boxsets. Joining DCI Hunt -- again played with terrific force and stature by Philip Glenister -- is Keeley Hawes, as DCI Alex Drake.

I cannot fathom how and why Ashes to Ashes has never been made available on Blu-ray or seen an HD release (apart from when Series 3 was broadcast on BBC One HD). The first episode, written by Ashley Pharoah, deals with the cover-up of the killing of a police officer in a nightclub.

The second series of eight episodes is set in 1982, against the political background of the Falklands War. Mostly about the fact that some explanations make sense for Life on Mars, some for Ashes to Ashes, but don't really make sense when both are put together. In Portugal, the show was broadcast by Fox Life, while in Latin America, the series is shown on HBO Plus. Critical reception to the first episode of the series was mixed, [25] with positive reviews from The Daily Telegraph, [26] The Herald, [27] The Spectator, [28] and the New Statesman, [29] and negative reviews from The Times, [30] The Sunday Times, [31] Newsnight Review, [32] The Guardian, [33] and The Observer, which criticised the episode's direction, structure, and tone (although it did praise the costumes and art direction). Like John Simm’s character in Life On Mars, DCI Drake suddenly finds herself in 1981, with no clear reason why.We also sell a wide range of refurbished Mobile Phones and Tech from major brands like Apple, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft and much more.
