Glenister: Gene Hunt's 'a great character' (VIDEO)

Cranford star Phillip Glenister is looking forward to returning to his role of DCI Gene Hunt in Ashes To Ashes, the must anticipated sequel to the award-winning Life on Mars.

In an exclusive interview with whatsontv.co.uk he explained why he's happy to revive the role.

"It's a great character." He reveals. "People often say ‘you’ve played a lot of policemen, you've played a lot of this, you've played a lot of that." I never ever look at the profession, you look at the character."

Ashes To Ashes is set to hit the screens in early 2008.
