Hit drama Ashes to Ashes to return

The Eighties revival continues as the popular TV show 'Ashes to Ashes' returns for a second series. 
The sequel to the hit-show 'Life on Mars' has been recommissioned following strong ratings and feedback from fans.
The series stars 'Spooks' actress Keeley Hawes as Alex Drake, a psychological profiler whose partner, DI Gene Hunt, is played by 'Life on Mars' actor Philip Glenister.
Speaking about the show, Julie Gardner, BBC Wales Head of Drama, who commissioned the second series, said: "I can't wait for more blue eyeliner, Quattro cars and Eighties music to burst on to our screens in 2009!"
Series one averaged over 6.5m viewers, the opening episode alone achieved audience figures of more than 8m.
Filming on series two will begin this summer and 'Ashes to Ashes' will return in 2009.
