Phil Glenister blasts England and says Gene Hunt should be in charge! 

I'm from America & I'm a big fan of Life On Mars and Ashes to Ashes. Both are brilliantly done. British actors really are fantastic. Excellent writing and production.

I always love the way PG speaks, no media training, no safety-catch on, no bland rubbish, just what's on his mind at the time, uncut.

His Mancunian accent is bloody brilliant. Would never have known

Honestly I’d be happy if he shouted at me and called me a useless waste of space

Imagine Prime Minister Gene Hunt's meeting Angela Merkel to discuss Brexit. Gene: You remind me of someone. Angela: Oh yes. Gene: The bird of a bloke me and DI Tyler did for Armed Robbery in 1974!

Never mind about the national soccer team. Gene Hunt should be Prime Minister!

My name is Phil Glenister. Actor. It's almost lunchtime. I'm not having hoops.

He was brilliant as Gene Hunt.From the beginning I said it was HIS show,and lo and behold...Just binged watched Life on Mars & Ashes to Ashes and so sad there are no more episodes,although a third and final season of Life on Mars is being considered 😀🙏🏻👏👏👏👏🙏🏻😀

"let's fire up the Quattro" :):):)

"not firing up the Quattro today then " omg if I ha the chance to say that to him that would be amazing :O

I went to school with him!

OVERPAID BUGGERS! haaa

The Guv is a fucking legend!

He's kind of adorable, isn't he? :)

Gene hunt will never die to hear the man him self say all things come to an end lets us all know he’s done with the character that we all loved. Gene hunt jack teller Marty Mcfly. RIP all.

I never realised he was a gooner now I love him more

I don't understand how he does the accent aha, im from the north west and just can't do that accent.

Is Gene Hunt in charge of the England cricket team right now?

I am so glad he took Amanda Redmans advice and took up acting following in the footsteps of his brother Robert and of course his father John was a well known TV producer

@MCBhangramuffin too bloody right!!

He's right about capping foreign players in the premiership

You're surrounded by reformed footballers!

What is the name of the song in the background.

Too right about England. If that Iceland match had been boxing match there would have been an enquiry. It was the same as Arsenal losing to Dulwich hamlet!!

They've had Smithy doing a sketch with the england team...how about the Gene Genie? :)

Lol s3 LoM says differently

I saw him at Que gardens.

@jazzzyy13 no lol he was one of the good ones

Gene Hunt couldn’t have done a worse job in tournaments than Fabio.

@FreakiestAsp thank you

He sounds a bit posh

@paul1962uk That made me go "awww!" and I'm not even sure why. ^^ Must be fun looking back now xD

shame you can't post links from friends reunited on her i'd put a pic of him up when he was 10 or 11 lol

What does the FA stand for fuck all lol best bit

Gene Hunt as England manager. Sheer genius. Get him to do it for Sports relief. And I didn't know he supports the Arsenal. Top man, drop dead handsome too...

@jazzzyy13 lol my claim to fame was accidentally breaking a squash raquet on his hand when we were 16

NJ n

@paul1962uk More "awww!"ing there... awesomelich, lol. (my word) I'm surprised, I thought he would be one of the 'do my own thing' kind, or maybe that's just me or maybe that's just Gene Hunt!

@BrittanyYoungxDuckie I have just heard that a lottery winner has purchased Chelsea.Just immagine what he could have bought if he had got four numbers !!!

@jazzzyy13 Nooooooooooooooooo he was one of the gooduns

haha! he's great! :)

Football always believed the whole team should be from that region. Spending Million`s on a Foreign Man to come to uK to kick a Ball when communities are losing Land what was for the Children to play on. Believe we lost our way and would cheer louder if whole team was from my city win or lose

@paul1962uk Really? Wow xD

Haha Arsenal are still crap 11 years later poor Phil.

@seniamor black and white town by the doves

😁❤️

Gene Hunt is my favourite all time character...
