Life on Mars: The Crash

Series 1, episode 1

Directed by
Bharat Nalluri

Originally Aired On: Monday, 09 January 2006

Drama series about Sam Tyler, a Manchester detective who suffers a near-fatal car crash and wakes up in what seems to be 1973. Unsure whether he's in a coma, has really time-travelled or has just gone mad, Tyler's 21st century attitudes make him a fish out of water in this world of clunky technology and old fashioned policing. Then he discovers a connection between a murder in 1973 and the 2006 kidnapping case he was working on, and solving this case could be the key to getting home.
