Also strange things start to happen such as stars appearing and Shaz, Chris and Ray each hearing music as they find redemption at the end of an episode that focuses on them. Meanwhile Alex Drake does her private investigation into the 'death' of Sam Tyler.
She believes that by doing this she can get back to and her daughter Molly, which is what she has been doing since the start of Series One. In episode seven, Gene and Alex go on a date, where Alex finally asks him if he murdered Sam, in which Gene reveals that he was asked to help Tyler fake his own death. The pair also get intimate and nearly share a kiss, had it not been for the arrival of Keats knocking on the door of Alex's flat. Keats is determined to bring down Gene Hunt and his world.
In the last ever episode it is revealed that Gene and his colleagues are all dead, and so is Alex Drake who died in episode one of the third series. It would assume that Gene is some kind of guardian angel, guiding the lost souls to Heaven while Keats is the Devil, who had come to try and lure Alex and her colleagues to Hell.
CID is merely a limbo for dead police officers who had suffered trauma and that Chris, Ray and Shaz were also from different times. Gene and the team do one last job which involves foiling a diamond heist and he takes them to the pub, The Railway Arms , where the they are greeted by Nelson. It is also revealed that Gene has been doing this for many other dead officers before, including Sam and Annie Cartwright.
It is assumed that Viv James is in Hell, after Keats comforted him in the concluding moments of episode six. After seeing Chris, Ray and Shaz on their way, Alex believes she can still go home, but eventually realises that she too is dead and will never see Molly again.
Once resigned to this fact, she and Gene finally share a kiss and she enters the pub. Gene is left on his own again and returns to his office, where it seems he is apparently stuck in eternity and to continue guiding dead police officers to Heaven. It is established that DI Alex Drake, a trained police psychologist, has been studying the suicide of DCI Sam Tyler and is familiar with the detailed description he recorded of his experiences of life in whilst he was actually in a coma in When Drake herself is shot during a hostage situation and finds herself transported back to , it is her familiarity with Tyler's world that leads her to deduce she is "hallucinating".
She also draws upon her knowledge of Tyler's experiences in to inform her decisions on how to act in the world of For example, she spends time finding and tuning a powerful radio so that she can receive information from the "real world", because this is how Tyler received information about the progression of his coma in his world of Alex does eventually receive messages from Rainbow characters Zippy and George, a handheld radio and the television set.
Drake is also stalked by a sinister clown in a Pierrot costume which resembles David Bowie's appearance in the "Ashes to Ashes" music video. In he drove his car into a river during a car chase and is presumed dead, though the body was never found.
A newspaper clipping paying posthumous tribute to Tyler's achievements hangs in Hunt's office. Hunt subsequently transferred to the Metropolitan Police, taking Carling and Skelton with him.
As in the case of Sam Tyler in Life on Mars , from Hunt's point of view Drake has asked to be transferred to his division from elsewhere. The figure was "in line with the final episode of Life on Mars in April last year, though well up on the earlier show's second series debut of 5.
Critical reception to the first episode of the series was mixed, [4] with positive reviews from The Daily Telegraph , [5] The Herald [6] The Spectator , [7] and the New Statesman [8] and negative reviews from The Times , [9] The Sunday Times, " Newsnight Review , [10] The Guardian and The Observer , which criticized the episode's direction, structure and tone although it did praise the costumes and art direction.
The national free sheet, Metro , gave the episode four stars as "a vote of faith" on what it described as "a dodgy start",. The end of Gene Hunt , the bullying, racist, misogynist, everything else-ist DCI the nation strangely fell in love with, who spoke some of the most laboured lines in British television history.
Hunt, of course, is also the TV character our prime minister said he was flattered to be compared with. Like a poorly tuned Audi Quattro, the campaign backfired, and here we are. It seems that Hunt's been dead all along, I think. To be honest I'm not totally sure what's going on. My name is Sam Wollaston, I had an accident, and I woke up in , strange things are happening on the television, it's quite hard to follow. But I think Hunt died trying to be a hero and that's him, with his face blown off, in the shallow grave with the scarecrow outside the spooky house in Lancashire.
It turns out that the world of Ashes to Ashes and Life on Mars before that is a sort of purgatory for troubled cops. Troubled dead cops, because Hunt's colleagues Shaz, Ray and Chris are also deceased, hence all the voices and the stars should we have guessed?
At least Shaz made it to the 90s and Oasis and New Labour before being screwdrivered by a petty car thief. Got it? No, I'm not sure I have either.
