Synopsis

Swapping  the  Ford  Cortina for an Audi Quattro, DCI Gene Hunt rolls
up his sleeves and embraces the Eighties  in  the  sequel  to  Life  On
Mars.  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   (Keeley   Hawes).   Single  mother to daughter Molly, Alex has rapidly risen through  the  ranks  of  the  Met and  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. Alex suddenly finds herself in 1981 interacting with familiar  characters,   not   just   from   her   own life-time,  but also from the detailed reports logged by none other than Sam Tyler, which  Alex  has  previously  spent  months  pouring  over. Alex  is ripped from her current world of sexual equality and respect in 2008 and finds herself opposite an arrogant fellow DCI in a  Two  Tone, New Romantic Eighties London with a soundtrack of Adam Ant, Roxy Music and The Human League ringing in her ears.
