Sam Tyler es un inspector jefe que investiga en 2006 un caso de un asesino en serie, cuando es atropellado por un coche. Al despertar, se ve transportado misteriosamente atrás en el tiempo a 1973. Inicialmente tiene que luchar para comprender su situación actual, tiene que acostumbrarse con la tecnología y la actitud de la época, mientras trata de averiguar cómo llegó a estar atrapado en el pasado. El actor John Simm describe el espectáculo como "un cruce entre Back to the future y The Sweeney", y hace uso efectivo de la desorientación de los viajes en el tiempo teniendo un paseo post-moderno por la moda y las tecnologías de la década de 1970, con el debido homenaje a los clásicos dramas policiacos de la época para crear una serie verdaderamente única.

Outstanding Show, with great music and that ending. Don't forget to watch the sequel "Ashes To Ashes"
Terrific show. One of the best BBC series out there.
I was really hoping for this to blow my mind as it is very highly rated by viewers and critics alike, but it turned out to be really a regular procedural with fantasy elements, and these elements weren't really well written and the end was really shambolic. Colour me dissapointed.
Great show that didn’t overstay its welcome. Does something interesting with the police procedural format at a time when it was most likely to land (Doctor Who peak of popularity). The mystery of how Sam came to be where he is keeps you hooked for both series, and the ending is layered/open to interpretation which ends it on a high note.
Honestly, watched only because I like John Simm. The first episode or two felt hokey but from them on, I was hooked. If anything the music allow is a solid 10. It's a bit of a hokey concept, but a lot of British shows tip toe into the sci fi like this. it was very imaginative. The ending is not what I expected, and since it doesn't explain how he got back (if you watch you'll get what I'm saying), you basically are left to fill that yourself. I don't see how they could do a 3rd season as one comment suggested. Leave it be would be my two cents. 9 out of 10.
