The Gene Genie is back... in highly-anticipated second series of award-winning Ashes To Ashes for ´óÏó´«Ã½ One - synopses

Episode one

When a man is found dead in a Soho strip club, it looks like a sex game has gone wrong. So when the deceased is discovered to be PC Sean Irvine, Gene and Alex are ordered to keep the case under wraps by Gene's new boss, Detective Superintendent "Supermac" Mackintosh. Mac is determined to rid the force of police corruption and clean up the streets of London in the process; his no-nonsense attitude quickly impresses Alex and the team.

PC Irvine was supposed to be clearing the streets of vice but Gene believes he was corrupted by the red lights of Soho. An incriminating photo of the copper with a mystery brunette, found near his body, seems to confirm Gene's suspicions. However, Alex is troubled by Sean's wife's insistence that her husband wasn't that sort of man, and when the pathologist uncovers signs that Sean was murdered, the team have to contend with the terrifying possibility that the killer could be one of their own.

Meanwhile, sounds and messages from the future suggest to Alex that her circumstances have changed. Is there someone out there who can help her?

Episode two

The team is after a major vehicle thief, Jed Wicklow, but when a car chase leads to Jed's death, Gene stands accused of causing it through reckless driving. Jed was a Romany gypsy, and hostilities run high on the camp as the team try to uncover the circumstances of his death. Alex is adamant there was something wrong with Jed at the wheel and wants to prove the crash wasn't Gene's fault. The case becomes murkier when they find evidence there was a large amount of sleeping pills in Jed's system and the car he was driving had been tampered with.

But in an investigation that's already met with resistance by those in the Romany camp, someone in the police force also appears to be standing in their way. Can Gene get the result he wants without treading on his superior's toes and will Alex be able to trust that he'll not take the easy option of a cover-up?
