Reviews (1) of Ashes to Ashes: Series 1
Thoroughly enjoyable - Ashes to Ashes: Series 1 review by aw
.....with a bit of mystery, a bit of a Sci-Fi element, with great humour thrown in and showing policing how it still should be.
Not suitable for "P.C" folk or bunny-huggers - much too much like real life!
