Life on Mars & Ashes to Ashes COMPLETE SERIES SPOILERS BELOW]
The Contenders: Archangel vs The Devil (both in human form)
When: Ashes To Ashes: Season 3 Episode 8
The Battle: While appearing in "human" form, DCI Gene Hunt encounters DCI James "Jim" Keats, a police officer sent from the Discipline and Complaints department of Scotland Yard to assess Hunt's unit. Turns out that the world Hunt lives in is a type of Limbo for dead or comatose coppers, and Keats is a demon (if not, the actual Devil) trying to prevent the dead cops' souls from ascending to Heaven. While battling for the soul of recently dead Alex Drake, Keats tries to bring Alex to his side by tricking her into thinking that he could take her back to the world of the living and reunite her with her daughter.
In one of the best TV moments of 2010, Hunt quickly steps in and bitch-slaps the demonic Keats back into the darkness – but not before the Devil can tauntingly vow that they will meet again.
Winner: Gene Hunt
