The Ashes to Ashes series finale takes place tonight, but fear not it has been renewed for a third series.
In tonight’s episode, Gene learns crooked cops are going to interrupt a bullion robbery and steal the gold for themselves – a discovery that gives him the chance to root out corruption in the force once and for all.
The second series of Ashes to Ashes draws to an end tonight on BBC One but will finish after its next it has been announced.
“Fans have theorised since Life On Mars and throughout Ashes To Ashes about who Gene Hunt actually is and what his alternative world really means,” said a spokesperson for the show. “The climax of series three will finally reveal all in a stunning finale.”
Philip Glenister revealed that he wants to move onto theatre work after Ashes To Ashes.
According to the Daily Express the actor said: “I’d like to do a new play, probably at the National.
“I’d like it there because they do it in repertory so you’re not working every night and you get a bit of time off, too.”
Philip admitted he has a short attention span saying:
When a blast from the past, Jackie Queen, shows up at CID, DCI Gene Hunt is far from pleased, as the Eighties police drama continues. He is even less delighted when the nosy journalist from Manchester announces she is pregnant and that he is the father.
However, telling Gene about the baby is not Jackie’s only reason for visiting. Her 16-year-old niece, Rachel, has run away and Jackie needs Gene’s help. She fears Rachel has been lured into the seedy underbelly of the capital, and is desperate to know if she’s okay.
Ashes to Ashes’ character Gene Hunt is to become a father.
The detective played by Philip Glenister is hit with the news when his ex-girlfriend Jackie Queen (Ruth Millar) visits his office wearing his camel coat and unveils a baby bump.
Jackie tells Gene: “You left the coat at my flat, come to think of it, that’s not all you left behind.”
Gene offers to make a “semi-honest” woman out of her and a “non-b*****d” out of the baby. But he warns he will only marry Jackie if “he comes out Gene Genie pink — if not you’re on your own”.
Animal rights activists have threatened a series of attacks in London and the first victim, the daughter of a commercial laboratory owner, is in hospital. Gene orders his team not to sleep until those responsible are behind bars.

Ashes To Ashes actor Marshall Lancaster has revealed that he has a crush his frizzy haired co-star Keeley Hawes.
Lancaster plays DC Chris Skelton on the BBC One drama, and admitted that the thought of Keeley in the bath put him off his patter during a recent scene.
Speaking to the Daily Star, he explained: “She told me she got stung by a bee and had to sit in a bath of camomile. I went to deliver a line and just fluffed it. I was just thinking about Keeley in the bath.”
DCI Gene Hunt, DI Alex Drake, DS Ray Carling and DC Chris Skelton are in hot pursuit of major car thief Jed Wicklow as the new series of the police drama set in the Eighties continues. Gene is determined to catch Wicklow, but the thief’s driving becomes more erratic and the chase ends in tragedy.
Gene stands accused of death by dangerous driving. However, Alex is adamant there was something wrong with Jed at the wheel and sets out to prove the crash wasn’t Gene’s fault.
So, the Quattro was fired up, everybody wore clothes that would make Tranny and Susannah throw up and Alex was/is still stuck in the past, but now she’s in 1982 and of course Gene Hunt is still loud, bullish and fabulously opinionated and has – thank the gods of TV script writing heaven – lost the annoying American accent that he adopted in Demons and is back to his Mancunian self. Praise be.
If I had to choose just one line that I loved from Gene last night, it would be when he exclaimed that signs should be erected in “every train station in the north saying the streets of London are paved with sh**”. Maybe it was left there by the talking Alsatian who ‘talked’ to Alex per chance… Read more & comment »
Alex Drake was shot in 2008 and was stunned when she woke up in 1981. Confronted by the politically incorrect DCI Gene Hunt and his right-hand men, DS Ray Carling and DC Chris Skelton, Alex was determined not to hang around in the past for long.
It’s now 1982, the Falklands War has started, corruption in the force is rife and Alex is no nearer to finding the key to returning to the future, as Ashes To Ashes, starring Philip Glenister and Keeley Hawes, returns for a new series.
Series two of the brilliant Ashes to Ashes kicks off next week on BBC One and in order to whet your appetites BBC have released this cool ident for the show.
Watch as Gene and Alex fire up the Quattro and hit the streets of London!

Ashes to Ashes actress Keeley Hawes has revealed that she would never step into another actors shoes again.

“I’d never do it again, I’d never step into somebody else’s shoes,” she told the Times.
