John Simm may have run off but the show continues albeit with a new name and another culled from Bowie title too "Ashes To Ashes" the follow up (would be Season 3) to acclaimed BBC TV series "Life on Mars" starts tonight. This time the beeb are counting on former Spooks (MI5) actress Keeley Hawes and her posh southern dryness to bring the magic as the cop sent back in time.
Personally one of the things I liked about "Life on Mars" was it's Northern character and I'd much rather hear a Northern actress in the lead role - especially someone with the smile and soft warm voice of Liz White who played the Simm confident cop in series one and two. Maybe I'm just homesick for Yorkshire but I do miss hearing ladies with accents like this.
No word yet on when BBC America will show "Ashes..." - probably in 2009 knowing how darn slow they are.
