Alex Drake (Keeley) is the Psych Evaluation Officer who Sam Tyler gave a tape of his experiences to in the last ep of Life On Mars.
In 2008, Drake gets shot and wakes up in 1981. Supposedly, some terrible thing happened to her in 81 and if she can stop it happening again she can get home...
The creators say the soundtrack covers Dexys Midnight Runners to Joy Division and to look out for cameos from Steve Strange, George and Zippy and Shaw Taylor.
Keep 'em peeled...

I'm far too much of a gent to refer to the delightful Ms. Hawes in such a crude maner, but I know where you're coming from Clive...

Nah, not really. Though you won't have a clue who Gene Hunt and his merrymen are.
Actually, no, you surely must know who Gene Hunt is without watching the show? His face has been plastered everywhere.
And he gave the world the best insult ever - "You great soft sissy girlie nancy french bender Man United supporting poof"!
Genius!
I'd give Life on Mars a try though - very good idea, well made.
artical in the times today,, great quote from gene,, bollinger knickers,, ill drink to that
the gene genie

She was the best reason to watch the first three series of Spooks.
Who cares if she's not the best actress.....
;)
It wasn't the best start, but it had a lot to live up to from the previous series.
However, I did like the A-Team style shootout (i.e. loads of bullets, but not one person got shot)!

That too - first noticed her in an adaptation of an Iain Banks book, "Complicity" - sexy as fcuk in that!

Well yeah , she'd get it obviously .Was she in Life On Mars? Didn't quite follow who she is. Got more into the '81 feel as the prog went on and will be tuning in again next week.

I seem to recall she did - she definitely did in Complicity!
Did anyone else notice how bad the dialogue was in places?
"I'm gonna get YOUUUUU!"
and a real corker from Gene Hunt later on:
"I'm here to protect you from the badness OUT THERE"
John Simm must be pissing himself.
Rubbish 
it was like the worst LoM episode times three and that's before you take into account the holes in the plot.
I really wanted it to be good as well.

Texted Sam (The Stokie, not Riley or Tyler) and mentioned it

Fuck! I don't remember that, and I saw that film. Don't suppose you've got a copy, Nick??!
