Ashes to Ashes Music

[lynbrown]

Today (or yesterday) I read that we would hear a short snippet of 80s music that would be a clue to how the story was panning out. It said it was a well known piece. Now I heard a lot of music in tonights show, but none that seemed to be a clue of any sort. Did anyone else read this item, or work out the piece of misic referred to?

Not sure what 80s music had any relevance, but the snippet of Life on Mars that was played in Luigis may be something

The BBC website for Ashes To Ashes has a list of music for each episode as it is transmitted.That might help.

Thanks all. I had looked at the BBC but could not see the music for last night.

I would imagine it would Life on Mars that was played briefly as they faded out on Shaz

The guy in glasses from D and C is a reincarnation of Sam Tyler, that's my long term forecast!

Does anyone know the conection between the 6-6-20 on the police officer's epaulette( the one who is haunting Alex ) and the 6-6-20 scratched on her desk ? I missed some of the episode last night and wondered if I had missed the explanation.

[JackDanielsU]

nothings connected the 6 6 20 yet. It is a bible verse though,

When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so every man charged straight in, and they took the city.

2 episodes in, and theres some wacky theories going

[moonshadow]

Thanks Jack I expect all will be revealed in time. You are right about the wacky theories.
