Ashes to Ashes S01E02 The Happy Day


DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) is back but he's no longer the self-styled "Sheriff of Manchester".

Flanked by his faithful sidekicks, Ray Carling (Dean Andrews) and Chris Skelton (Marshall Lancaster), and drawn to the action and intrigue of the London Met, Gene turns his attentions to taking on the "southern nancy" criminal scum. However, Gene does not expect to be thrown together with sexy, intelligent, DCI Alex Drake.

Single mother to daughter Molly, Alex has rapidly risen through the ranks of the Met and, in the modern world of 2008, skilfully uses psychological profiling to capture suspects. When Alex and her daughter are kidnapped she makes a daring attempt at escape, resulting in a horrific accident.

After DI Alex Drake is shot she finds herself transported back to 1981 and meets up with Gene Hunt. Believing she is in a coma she asks him to help her find the man who shot her in 2008.


Alex decides to find her mother now that she knows that she is going to be stuck in the early 1980's for a while. Gene is determined that the royal wedding will go ahead with out any problems but a bomb scare threatens to ruin the day.
