Ashes to Ashes/YMMV

• Acceptable Targets: Fun drinking game - count the number of offensive Italian jokes directed at Luigi. If you're still conscious past the first three episodes, you're doing it wrong.
• Awesome Ego: Gene Hunt.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: See here.
• Draco in Leather Pants: Gene Hunt.
• Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory: Literally. When Gene starts to remember who he is, he describes the world the series is set in as "Somewhere we go to sort ourselves... Coppers." Nelson (from Life On Mars) is the gatekeeper, and Gene guides lost souls to him.
• Foe Yay: Gene and Keats. Gene and Supermac (sauna scene anyone?). Also Alex and Keats.
• Growing the Beard: With some exceptions, series 1 in general has a much more frivolous feel to it, particularly in the behaviour of Alex's character. The drama gets much better when she becomes more the serious police officer from series 2 onwards.
• Ho Yay:
  • Chris and Ray, nigh constantly.
  • In episode 3.04, "Gene <3 Sam".
  • Shaz and Alex, considering Shaz's appreciation of Alex's hooker dress and insistence that she'd pay for a night with Alex.
• Memetic Sex God: Gene Hunt, an unlikely sex symbol.
• Sexist In Leather Pants: Gene Hunt. So, SO much.
• Tear Jerker: 3.08. Almost the entire episode.
  • In 3.07, Viv's funeral.
