Overview

John Simm and Philip Glenister in Life on Mars © BBC

Quirky crime drama. After being involved in a car accident, 21st-century detective chief inspector Sam Tyler awakens to find himself trapped in the 1970s. Has he travelled back in time, is he in a coma, or is he simply losing his mind? Sam's determined to get back to 2006, but until then he must contend with a maverick superior officer, casual prejudice - and Seventies fashion!
