So where does that leave Gene? Is he a God-like figure? Given that he’s been in denial for the five series that we’ve known him, we’re going for the undercover guardian angel, watching over the key characters of the Ashes world, and eventually guiding them to their ultimate destination. Even if he has been in denial about his role in everything in all the time we’ve known him. The finale of Ashes To Ashes, which finished in 2010, [47] has been described by Dean Andrews as "genius". He explained on GMTV: "Everything is tied up. You get all of the answers from Life on Mars and Ashes To Ashes." [48] Pegg, Nicholas (2016). The Complete David Bowie (Revised and Updateded.).
