Been watching Ashes to Ashes, the time travel/in a coma cop series on the Beeb, been following it ever since Life on Mars and its the closest I feel that Television has got close to the video game method of story telling.

Like in Mass Effect as the stories revolve around shepard but the stories of the other characters all link in to the main story before the game can end, Ashes to Ashes does the very same thing

Maybe Television can learn alot from video games after all??
