Keeley Hawes (Spooks) has beaten hundreds of hopefuls to don her leg warmers and play ambitious, psychological profiler, DI Alex Drake who, when finding herself stuck in 1981, takes on the infamous DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) in Ashes To Ashes, the eagerly-anticipated sequel to Life On Mars, it was announced today.
Alex has rapidly risen through the ranks of the Met in the modern world of 2008.
However, she is ripped from her current world of sexual equality and respect and finds herself faced with the boorish Gene in a two-tone, New Romantic, Eighties London with a soundtrack of Adam Ant, Roxy Music and The Human League ringing in her ears.
Today, Keeley said: "I'm thrilled to be playing Alex. She's a fantastic character and will be a force to be reckoned with as far as Gene Hunt is concerned; the two of them locking horns in the Eighties will certainly be a sight to behold, never mind the shoulder pads."
Jane Featherstone, Executive Producer for Kudos, said: "Keeley will be fantastic as Alex 'posh knickers' Drake. She is sexy, ballsy and very intelligent, exactly like Alex – she's bound to turn Gene's egocentric life upside down!"
Due to transmit on BBC One in 2008, Ashes To Ashes is written and created by Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharaoh, two creators of the award-winning Life On Mars.
With additional writing credits for Mark Greig (Life On Mars), Mick Ford (William And Mary) and Julie Rutterford (Life On Mars), it is produced by Kudos, in association with Monastic Productions, the new production company of Graham and Pharaoh.
Graham also executive produces for Monastic Productions, alongside Jane Featherstone and Simon Crawford Collins for Kudos.
Ashes To Ashes is produced by Beth Willis and commissioned by BBC Wales Head of Drama, Julie Gardner.
Ashes to ashes dust to dust
Who sees the light over lust
Will TV ever be the same
Wen sex is dismissed and becomes totally lame
There are better stories in real life
Just think about you and the wife
What about your siblings to
Will they entertain, a punch 'there and again',
all aimed at you.
Then there's the kids they will add light
They'll keep you awake all night
Will you wake up and not follow the screen
Or will Carry on believing what you have seen.
A moment in the park
is Worth more than an age in the dark
So turn the bloody TV off
and before you scoff
remember life is for living
not sleeping or dreaming.
