So all that was just so they could squeeze another series out of it? You can't relegate such a great idea to one series. Still, Ashes to Ashes WAS a step too far, for me. It was a simple little idea, but what they did with it was pretty good. Great doesn't have to be complicated. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Thanks for both your company. My Thursdays soon get busier, but will keep on watching Season 2, even if it's not always live. I'm not doing Ashes To Ashes, though. Me neither. Series 2 though...are we doing it? Yeah, go on. I'll be here whenever I can! Vote Og.

Is there something more cheerful we could do for a bit of a break before we plunge on into the next lot? Or can't you wait??
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Oh, I thought Ashes to Ashes was series 2. Does this not end here, then? |

I'm all emotioned out atm. Watched The Quake earlier - the one about an earthquake in Oslo. And then this. I'd watch Camberwick Green if it would cheer me up. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I think I'm slightly disappointed. I thought that we were going to get some sort of resolution. |

There were three series of Ashes to Ashes? I don't remember there being that much of it, but I saw the whole thing. I stopped (during Season 2, I think) and started again for Season 3 (can't remember if just for the last couple of episodes), since it was all coming to an end. I remember A to A not being a patch on Life On Mars. Vote Og.

No idea where we could stream The Dish, so maybe it's Blackadder, then. Let me know!

Hitchhiker's is on Internet Archive as well. Fewer adverts. Six half-hour episodes. https://archive.org/details/the-hitch...-tv-series "You're not sulking, I hope?"

So all that was just so they could squeeze another series out of it? You can't relegate such a great idea to one series. Still, Ashes to Ashes WAS a step too far, for me. It seemed to me at the time that the last episode of S1 would have wrapped up the whole thing, but the show was so popular they changed the intended finish so they could keep going. |
