Nightmare Fuel / Ashes to Ashes (2008)

• From Series 1, that clown. That bloody clown.
  "I'm happy, hope you're happy too..."
  • In context, he isn't much better: he represents Alex's father. Who murdered her mother.
• Series 3 has brought us the Body Horror that is PC Where's-The-Rest-Of-His-Face (i.e. a young man in an old-fashioned police uniform with half his face blown off). Crows cawing will never sound the same again.
  • PC Where's-The-Rest-Of-His-Face? He's 19 year-old Gene Hunt, who was killed not long after he became a policeman. During an attempt to stop a robbery on Coronation Day 1953, he was shot in the head with a shotgun and buried in a shallow grave outside a farm, where he remained until his body was discovered by police in the present day.
• What about Viv's death scene? Jim Keats just holds him and watches him die in pain and terror. It's Terrifying enough before you find out the latter's true identity and purpose: Keats is either Satan or one of his minions, come for the souls of the failed coppers.
  • Chris later says that he had a nightmare about Viv surrounded by flames, screaming in agony.
