Life On Mars: Series 1 (Widescreen)

Hot on a killer's trail in modern-day Manchester, police detective Sam Tyler (John Simm, BBC's "State of Play") gets struck by a passing car and wakes up in 1973. Is he mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever the answers, he still has crimes to solve, albeit with low-tech, highly aggressive 1970s methods. He finds himself working on a homicide squad where hard drinking replaces hard thinking; forensics takes weeks to analyze; and his boss, DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister, "Cranford"), has no qualms about roughing up suspects - or Sam himself. But when he bonds with sympathetic policewoman Annie Cartwright (Liz White, "The Fixer"), Sam wonders: does he really want to return.
