Coming Soon: Ashes To Ashes, series 3

It's nearly time to revisit the '80s again, as timeslip cop show Ashes To Ashes returns for its third series on BBC1. All the regulars are back for this final run, joined by Daniel Mays (The Street, Plus One) as Discipline & Complaints officer Jim Keats. The BBC press release doesn't offer many hints about what's in store (particularly regarding how they'll deal with the fantastic cliffhanger last year), but you do get to see Keeley Hawes' worst hairdo yet (see above). Oh, you gotta love the '80s...

The press release doesn't confirm a timeslot, but I've heard Monday 22 March mentioned on the grapevine. That sounds very plausible, but take it with a pinch of salt. As usual, I'll be reviewing Ashes To Ashes every week as it reaches its conclusion. I'm intrigued by the creators' claim it will answer its own mysteries and demystify Life On Mars' finale, too. Is there a chance John Simm will return as Sam Tyler, as has been rumoured since Ashes first began?
