Ashes to Ashes

DI Alex Drake is shot and lands in 1981, coming face-to-face with Hunt.

The royal wedding looms, and it's up to Gene and a restless Alex to keep the streets quiet.

With two faithful sidekicks, Hunt is drawn to the action and intrigue of the London Met, where he turns his attentions to taking on London's criminals.

When the body of a worker at a nuclear research centre disappears from the morgue, Alex smells a conspiracy.

Simon Neary is a gangster Gene has wanted to nail for years. But is stifling his gun deal a way to keep Alex from getting shot in 2008?

Alex thinks she's close to death and has to keep her brain alive by solving the case: a raid at a Post Office. Gene believes the culprit is Chas Cale, a blagger he once crossed.

When thousands of pounds of charity money is stolen, Gene resorts to his 'fists first, questions later' method.

Alex believes that if she can go back to the day her parents were killed and prevent their death, she can leave the prison of 1981 and get back home to her daughter Molly.
