In twenty years' time, when the streets are awash with filth...

Earlier today, 600 police were deployed in a crime blitz on Blackstock Road. When I went to the library this evening, there were still a handful about, flyering ineffectually. The street was a bit quieter than usual, but there were still loiterers - presumably the ones who didn't have anything dodgy on them at the time. So yes, I'd be glad of the Gene Genie today. After all, he did say "I'm everywhere, Bolly. I was needed, so I was there." She's twigged that it's not all in her head. He's let on that he's something more. And the standard of unflinching bleakness Life on Mars' conclusion trained us to expect was maintained. Hell, even if the godfather hadn't been a red herring it would have been good, as Alex realises she's left her daughter in the care of a psychopath, but this was even better. Now let's just hope the second series doesn't drop the ball like most of Life on Mars' did.

"I'm everywhere, Bolly. I was needed, so I was there."

I melted at this point. The series needs to go no further in the exploration of the attraction between atavistic men and bolshy women.

And this is why I worry a little - that sense of 'where else is there to go?' But it was a mistaken worry ahead of this series, so I'm hoping it will remain misplaced for the next.
