Just remember to have your box of tissues ready when you watch #8 You’re right about the ending! It was so sad and frustrating that Gene didn’t go into the railway arms! With Alex and the rest of the squad! felt so sad for Bolly! So am I right in saying that the railway arms is heaven and once you go through the doors, ya can’t come back out! and also does this mean that in LOM, right from the start everyone is a ghost! How frustrating and annoying if this is so! when I watch LOM again, I’m sorry I will not be thinking or accepting this Concept lol! ...and what did Candy make of it all? GH.

Hey Gene, what an ending - so emotional, clever and what a twist! I rewatched the last part from when they were in Lancashire just to get my head round it all and then the clues just fall into place don’t they? Just fab and hate it now we’ve finished it! Such a good watch

But they’re always there to rewatch when you need them

Thanks for confirming Alex - I was so confused and didn’t want to watch any more until I knew what was going on! No exactly, it could have been a complete mess for you. Let us know what you think! :) Well I had been waiting to see when Drake and Hunt kissed and at last they did! Thought it was a brilliant finish to it Alex - and actually, even though it was a shock, I think this explanation probably makes more sense than going back in time. It does make you look at LOM differently too, but I think I just admire Gene more, as he is a guardian angel moving people onto where they need to be. He’s just a hero...

I actually find, despite knowing the ending, that it doesn't really affect how I see LOM and actually ... probably not A2A any more. The whole thing, all the characters, the idea, the settings are so much a part of my daily life (god, this does sound sad but it's true!) I just ... I don't know. For people who watched it once or whatever, the headline is very much "oh, they were all ghosts" and that's that but to be honest, I barely even think about it like that at all. But I'm very glad you enjoyed it all. I don't really understand how anyone could not! But I'm glad that you did and hopefully you'll want to watch them all again sometime. And yes, he very much is that figure and whether because I watched this when I was still a teenager, whether that's why this has stuck with me so much? I really don't know. Obviously the time travel always resonates with me because I've always felt like I'm in the wrong time (again, sounding lame, sorry!) but the whole "there when he's needed" thing. I don't know. I'm hearing the line "In danger of getting poofy, Raymondo" so I'll leave it there and go in search of some lunch, I think

I totally agree with ya DCI Drake! But when ya said ya watched it as a teenager’ ya making me feel old lol! Ya right it does come part of your life! I’m glad I’m not one of those people in the world who once have watched summit, then they will think why do I need to watch it again for! I did feel that Ashes 2 Ashes as the edge at one stage and would be my fave! at one point and especially because it’s littered with 80’s tunes! But now on reflection it’s an a extremely close call but LOM Is in pole position! Mainly because I love Sam’s character and how he gels with Gene, I love the 70s, and also with being the first instalment, then it’s a bit farther away from the truth’ than Ashes 2 Ashes! If ya know what I mean.. hopefully, soon, the shock of them all being Ghosts will Wear off! and when I watch LOM again I will undoubtedly forget..

Wahey, it's now correct on Netflix! Faster than I expected them to act, I must say!

Oh Christ ... I spoke too soon. The episodes may now play in the correct order ... but don’t look too closely at the descriptions.

Yeah! definitely G’ the good thing is there’s 3 series! to wade though! and even though Sam Tyler is not in it, makes no odds! a female replacement was a Very clever idea’ and much better than either having another male character or even leaving Sam’s character position vacant. Gene is just his usual self if not better! Due to his quips’ and What with all the 80’s tunes throughout just puts the tin hat on it for me. Are you listening, Sam? Ahem! I did feel that Ashes 2 Ashes as the edge at one stage and would be my fave! at one point and especially because it’s littered with 80’s tunes! But now on reflection it’s an a extremely close call but LOM Is in pole position! Mainly because I love Sam’s character and how he gels with Gene... Would you like salt and pepper on your Humble Pie? Sam.

As long as I don't have to have a pint of milk with it, I'll be fine.
