Matthew Graham has promised fans that the series finale of Ashes to Ashes will be "beautiful".

Writing on his Twitter account, the show's co-creator thanked the cast and crew after completing the series.

"3 nights ago I watched the Ashes finale being filmed," he said. "Thank you Cast and Crew for making it so transcendentally beautiful. And powerful."

He also wrote that it will be a "super-crucial and highly charged series climax" with a "VERY exciting sequence involving Chris, Ray, Shaz and a scary elevator".

Graham added that the Life On Mars spinoff will reach a "thrilling" conclusion and commented that "it really feels like the characters are entering their end-game".

Ashes to Ashes returns for its third and final series later this year on BBC One.
