Would like to see Ashes To Ashes though, feel it should work.

Ashes to Ashes certainly isn't disappointing, although the interplay between Gene Hunt and our new time traveller, Alex Drake, is quite different to that between Hunt and Sam Tyler, which makes for a somewhat different TV show, so just because you like one doesn't mean you'll like the other - it would depend what you really liked about Life on Mars.
All in all I really enjoyed it though. They made a lot out of the fact that Alex Drake, who is a police psychologist, had read Sam's report into his 1970s adventures and so believes she knows exactly what's going on. She treats her experience in a totally different way to him, which is refreshing because it means they avoid simply re-treading Life on Mars.
I'd say go ahead and get it.
