Scroll past the text and click on the thumbnails to embiggen them. The BBC(?) advert was nicely done.

Totally made me want to see the show.

The BBC One trailer for Ashes to Ashes Season Two launched in April 2009 in the UK and the show is currently airing in the UK --but not here. Season Two of Ashes to Ashes was abruptly and rather rudely pulled from the BBC America schedule so a 3-year sci-fi show could air. More info below. Be sure to watch the cool Promo for Season 2 of Ashes To Ashes, now in 1982. I capped it and some of them are sort of neat. Both Chris and Shaz look really cute. And Alex has lost that horrible perm! Read the synopsis for Eppy 1. It sounds great! Will be seeing it soon. Glad I have friends in the UK.

If BBC America thinks I'm going to sit around and wait for them to figure out that treating the audience like this is bad business they are mistaken. I can view Ashes to Ashes but they'll not make any revenue. I'm that annoyed. And of course I'll watch again on a bigger screen--when they air it. If they do.

Ashes to Ashes' getting pulled off the schedule literally at the last moment, was very surprising and maddening.

No reason was given for the abrupt and unexpected change in scheduling and, as of yet, no current revised launch date for Season Two of Ashes to Ashes has been made available, other than that it will "air later this year."

My spouse and I watch A2A on Saturday nights when it airs in Central US and I was ecstatic that it was going straight into S2 without interruption. It is a very funny show. Way better than many shows and unique too, versus most American television.

Those of you anxious to see Season Two of the Life on Mars sequel series Ashes to Ashes had better hold on to your hats... and sit tight.

BBC America, which was slated to launch Season Two of Ashes to Ashes on Saturday, May 2nd, has indicated that it will be delaying the launch date for the second season, instead opting to launch Season Three of sci-fi series Primeval in the Saturdays at 9 pm timeslot.

When it was still missing this Saturday past I looked it up and totally flipped out that BBC America has dissed Ashes to Ashes so blatantly.

Meanwhile, the BBC One trailer screen shots for Ashes to Ashes Season Two, which launched earlier this week in the UK, can be seen above and below.

Cast and plot synopsis for Season 2, Episode One

Plot

When a dead man is found in a Soho strip club, it looks like a sex game has gone wrong. So when the deceased is discovered to be a police officer, Gene and Alex are ordered to keep the case under wraps.
PC Sean Irvine was supposed to be clearing the streets of vice, but did he instead become seduced by it? When the pathologist uncovers signs that Sean was murdered, the team need to discover whether he was killed because he was a corrupt cop, or because he was an honest one.
As the case leads them onto dangerous territory, Alex finds herself kidnapped by a man whose words threaten her whole perspective on this world. Only Gene can save her, but even if he gets there in time, Alex fears that someone else in 1982 knows her dark secret: that she is from the future.
Meanwhile, sounds and messages from that future suggest to Alex that her circumstances have changed. Lying with a bullet in her head on the wet ground of an abandoned boat, is it possible that someone has discovered her?
