Ashes To Ashes co-creator Matthew Graham has denied rumours that there are plans for a Gene Hunt spinoff.

Last week, reports suggested that Gene, played by Philip Glenister, would appear in a new show set in the modern day.

A source claimed that the move would be "rather interesting" and compared the plans to the BBC show New Tricks.

However, Den Of Geek claims that Graham has now dismissed the speculation.

Graham previously said that Gene would only be revived if "Hollywood came calling".
