I enjoyed "Ashes to Ashes" more and more as it went on after a bit of a shaky start with it.
Ray and Chris got more narrative room here than on LoM, and Shaz, replacing Annie as the sweet and kind WPC in the team, is extremely likeable.
I liked the fact we got to know the other characters a bit better and didn't have quite the intense focus that LoM did on the relationship between Gene and Sam. Although the men still had their moments of unbearable blokishness Shaz felt like much more of an accepted part of the team than Annie did, which highlighted the (very) gradual improvement in the status of women police officers between 1973 and 1981.
