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

If, like me, you enjoyed The Sweeney, you'll love this! The similarity between DCI Gene Hunt and DI Jack Regan of The Sweeney caught my attention as early as the first episode - both hardnut coppers.
This is one of those rare programmes that, in my opinion, you won't grow tired of watching. I've watched series one three times!
Five stars from me!
I'd say that Life On Mars is one of the best programmes to be televised in the last thirty or so years. I've converted a lot of my family and friends to this programme and hopefully converted anyone reading my review.
Life on Mars (series 1), for me, was an absolute must see, brillant characters, actors and writing combined to make it one of the best programmes i've seen on TV in a very long time.
I began watching Ashes to Ashes recently and thought how good it was compared to anything else on TV today. I thnought to myself... well lkife on mars must be worth watching. I lost my life for the next week and a half as i became enthralled in tales of time travel, crime and general misdemeanours with an amusing twist. I can honestly say that this is the best TV series i have ever watched and think many of you would agree. John Simm as Sam Tyler was a class apart and as for Phillip Glenister as DCI Gene Hunt, hes almost aspirational for many a male watching.
Aparently what makes it so special is the realism to the 1970's. Well as i come from the late 80's im clueless to this yet still believe that this programme takes drama to a new level.
Buy it buy it buy it... you wont be disappointed.
Best British T.V. series of the last five years, bar none. Absolutely incredible in terms of plot, drama, comedy, seriousness and light-heartedness intertwined, and mystery. Gene Hunt is rightly a legend and you cannot fail to enjoy a character that takes us all back to somewhere a whole lot more desirable - where common sense was the way to go and political correctness had not been invented. It will intrigue you, make ya laugh and make you cry all at the same time. If you haven't seen it, buy this and spend a lazy day in bed watching them all.
normally i'm not really into cop/police related shows, so when i heard of this show i missed it first time round. Now it being on cable tv i've been watching and since seeing the second episode i am hooked. Staying up late watching 5 episodes a night... It's more than amazing!
This show has great humor, action, drama and more... Such a great show! A total must see!!!
