John Simm stars as Sam Tyler, a driven and ambitious young detective, determined to keep the streets of 21st Century Manchester safe. But after a near fatal car accident, he wakes up, dazed and confused, in 1973. Has he gone back in time? Is he in a coma? Or has he simply gone insane?
What follows is Sam's 21st century account of 1970s life, where he feels like a fish out of water. He must come to terms with an unfamiliar environment and an archaic CID unit. There, using his modern know-how, he becomes integral to the unit. But he must adapt to their old-fashioned technologies and etiquettes.
Sam works on some of the hardest cases he's ever been involved with. It's a world where witnesses are regularly intimidated, it takes two weeks to process forensics, and his colleagues will nail their suspect whether they have the evidence or not...
Created and written by Mathew Graham, Tony Jordan and Ashley Pharoah (who all worked on Hustle), directed by Bharat Nalluri (Spooks, Hustle), John McKay (Canterbury Tales), John Alexander (Cutting It) and SJ Clarkson (Footballers' Wives).

This is the first in two series.
The first episodes are good, then it seems to waiver a little and picks up towards the end.
Overall it is very very good. The only thing with is that the second series is IMHO (in my humble opinion) better.
Really recommend this and it is something that anyone in the family could watch (if over 15)

Is there life on Mars???
Watching this program you really wouldn't care, it is.... Absoultely....OUSTANDING!!!!
This show is about Sam Tyler who in 2006 got hit by a car and wakes up in 1973. Where he goes to his workpalce and see that there are completely different people there.
He doesn't know if he is in a "comma, mad or back in time" to quote form the opening title sequence. If your a fan of gripping Tv Shows that have you on the edge of your seat every second then you should definatly buy this!!!
If your a fan of 70's cop programs then this is for you, eventually you sort of forget about sams' comma story because each episodes please storyline is pure Genius Writting and acting.
Just buy it, its a great show to have in your collection.
