“HAVE you ever had the feeling that things are falling apart and the world as you know it is about to end?
“And nothing will ever be the same?”
Ashes To Ashes final series episode seven.
A two-part finale, with episode eight carrying the story on from where we leave it at the end of this hour.

Including a tantalising glimpse of a scene from episode eight and more clues about what it all may mean.
IT’S one of my abiding memories of Ashes To Ashes.
The sound of Keeley Hawes’ laughter in the corridor leading to the set in a former London biscuit factory.
I interviewed Ms Hawes for ITV’s The Blonde Bombshell way back in 1999.

THE return of an old friend tonight, re-invented for the 21st century.
ITV1’s new version of 1960s’ cult classic The Prisoner may not attract a massive audience, despite its primetime slot.
But having seen the first episode three times, as well as later episodes, I’d recommend that if it seems like something for you – watch, and try and stick with it.
I was lucky enought to discuss The Prisoner 2010 over afternoon tea with Sir Ian McKellen, who plays Two.
There was no repeat of last year’s dramatic SuBo moment at today’s London launch for series four of Britain’s Got Talent.
