That's a deeper question than you know (unless you do know, and you're just pulling our legs).
The short answer is that Gene Hunt was a major character in two BBC period piece cop shows: the unbelievably terrific Life on Mars (set in 1970's Manchester) and the not-quite-so-unbelievably-terrific-but-still-pretty-darn-good Ashes to Ashes (set in 1980's London). DCI Hunt was an unrepentent harda$$ cop. A "civil rights are for innocent people", knock heads 'til you get a confession type. A caveman with a badge.
Even Daniel Craig's Bond would think Gene tended to go a little over the line.

Who is Gene Hunt?
Just include Modesty Blaise!

Apparently, he's from something called Life on Mars. I'd never heard of him, either.
