Series 2
Released On: November 24, 2009
Region: 1
Production Company: Acorn Media
Description:
The International Emmy®-winning series seen on BBC America

Same place, same job. Different time, different rules. That’s the situation facing detective Sam Tyler (John Simm, State of Play) in this British drama that TV Guide calls "an entertaining collision of bare-knuckled police-procedural realism and mind-blowing surrealism."

Knocked unconscious by a hit-and-run driver in 21st-century Manchester, Tyler wakes up in 1973. Is he dreaming, time traveling, or just plain crazy? Whatever the case, he might as well have landed on another planet. Although shocked by the brutality of his bullying boss (Philip Glenister, Cranford) and the callousness of his squad mates, Sam gamely adapts to crime solving in this retro world. But even as romance blossoms with policewoman Annie (Liz White, The Fixer), mysterious voices from his former life keep calling him home. Trapped in the past, he must decide where his future lies--and how to get there--in the tension-filled finale.

Series 1

Production Company: Acorn Media
Description:

The time-warping detective series seen on BBC America

Dreaming, delusional, or displaced in time? Police detective Sam Tyler (John Simm, State of Play) must decide which describes him in this intriguing twist on the police procedural that has won two International Emmys® and rave reviews from critics and fans.

Hot on a killer’s trail in modern-day Manchester, Tyler gets struck by a passing car and wakes up in 1973. The high-tech tools and respect for proper procedure have vanished. Instead, 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. Still, Tyler has real-world crimes to solve, even as strange voices call him back to his 21st century life. But when he bonds with sympathetic policewoman Annie Cartwright (Liz White, The Fixer), Sam wonders: does he really want to return?

Remember the 1970s? Sam Tyler doesn't - he was only four at the time...

Smart, savvy, sharp-suited detective Sam is at the top of his game. Cool, calm and collected, if he were a flavour he'd be spearmint. Sam has ultimate control over his work, his life and his relationships. Until his world is turned upside-down when the hunt for a cold-blooded murderer becomes a desperate rescue mission when he suspects that his own girlfriend and fellow cop, Maya, has been kidnapped by the very man he is chasing.

After a near-fatal car accident, Sam finds himself mysteriously transported back to 1973. Confused by his new and outdated surroundings, Sam frantically tries to return to the present, without success. Frightened and alone, Sam must quickly come to turns with what has happened by doing the one thing he knows best - his job.

Time after time, returning back to the present eludes Sam. He is trapped in a time warp and something beyond his control is keeping him there. The murderer began his killing spree in 1973 and the police force of the time need his help to solve this and other crimes.

Will Sam catch the killer? Will he be able to get back to the present and rescue Maya?

Or has he gone crazy? Has he really travelled back in time?
