There Is a Happy Land.

Politics As well as elucidating five years worth of mystery in its post credits portion the final episode of Ashes to Ashes saw fit to also explain how Dixon of Dock Green could continue to exist on television despite (spoiler) having been bumped off in feature film The Blue Lamp by suggesting the length BBC television series was set in the very same universe of the mind (this SFX interview with Ashes producer Matthew Graham has more on this cross fictional retcon).

Whilst we attempt to wrap our brains around that revelation (and thank the Lord Rassilon that Dixon didn't appear in the first episode of Doctor Who as is rumoured making the Whoniverse a figment of the copper's walking life too), TV Cream surprises us with the revelation that BBC2 had an idea that melded the two series in 1998. Welcome to The Black and Blue Lamp which sounds like an utter treat and demands a Network dvd release ASAP.
