Oblivion · 07-11-2010, 08:45 AM

Hi, I'm new here. I'm a huge LOM and A2A fan and have been collecting original costumes etc from both series since they started. Here is a part of my collection ;

Sam Tyler's original leather jacket, shirt and cords;

Jim Keats original coat, shirt and tie;

Gene Hunt's beloved Cowboy hat;

A collection of original screen seen Alex Drake items;

Alex Drake's complete modern day police suit, shirt, scarf and shoes;

Gene Hunt's 3rd season petrol blue suit and shirt;

I was expecting to find something from a Bowie video in here.

...nice suits though.

Ashes to Ashes is a cool show with an awesome soundtrack. They just finished showing the second season here. I love Alex's jacket and Keeley Hawes is really good in this role. I'll probably get the jacket from Wested when I find a gf that appreciates this stuff. Cool collection!

I have an original Alex jacket they made about 6. You'll love season 3 it's amazing as Alex starts her investigation into what happened to Sam Tyler. The new character Jim Keats is fantastic. The very end explains everything even Life on Mars - enjoy it, I envy you, you have the best to come

An absolutely superb collection from a fantastic show/s.

Fidelio · 07-13-2010, 06:57 AM

Nice collection, just wondering how you got hold of these costumes as there hasn't been any sort of sale of them.

Oblivion · 07-13-2010, 06:59 AM

Thanks

I've also got Molly's complete school uniform inc shoes and leggins

Alex Drake's red shoes from series 2 and from the 2nd series DVD cover, Gene's tin from series 3, Martin Summers Tie, The dynamite that the dog carries in series 1

Chaz Cale's Post Office robbery helmet and jacket

The motorcycle bombers hemlet, mask and the Appeal for Information poster from episode 2.3

DCI Litton's leather coat and shirt from Ashes to Ashes and the Alex Drake poster from 2.8

Fantastic!
Almost finished S3 of ATA, looking forward to the end.

You should try to get the "Uptown Girl" overalls

Chewcy · 07-13-2010, 11:03 AM

Actually I obtained my items from cast members, the main costume designer and Sam's jacket came from John Simm.

Life on Mars is on my list. I don't know if it already aired over here.

Oblivion · 07-18-2010, 12:37 PM

Couple of new additions;
Undercover policewoman Louise Gardiner's coat and blood stained blouse from A2A 3.4

Oblivion · 10-14-2010, 08:33 AM

An amazing find after nearly 5 years but here is Sam Tyler's screen seen phone from his 1973 bed sit ;
