Ashes to Ashes returns for the third and final series - and it starts with a shock for DI Alex Drake. Alex thought she'd finally made it home, but wakes to find herself in a hospital bed back in 1983, having been shot by her boss, DCI Gene Hunt, three months ago. DCI Jim Keats has been sent to investigate the shooting of Alex and is breathing down everyone's necks. It soon becomes clear that Gene and Jim have history as Keats throws some unexpected light on past events. Alex’s only hope of getting home is to discover the truth about Gene Hunt and unlock the dark secrets of the past.
