| Not another police drama I thought, and I was right! It is nothing like the other police dramas that are on tv. Come with me back to the 1970s and Sam Tyler (who was in the middle of investigating his fiance's disappearance in the present day) has mysteriously been transported back there after a 'hit and run' accident. The episodes in this first series cover his coming to terms with life in the 1970s and trying to figure out why he is there and issues such as meeting people he knows - eg his mother as she was. On top of all this he has to learn to deal with the way that his colleagues tackle crime and especially his boss's attitude, as well as cracking cases. He does make a female friend and there is an obvious romance there, although they never quite get it together. At the end of the series it seems like he will find the reason why he is there, but he doesn't return to the future as he expects too, leaving it open for the second series. It is a fantastic bit of drama and the relationship between the charcters make for some explosive scenes. Every episode is watchable and enjoyable and I would highly recommend this to just about everyone - enjoy. |

| The show that has everything....nostalgia, action, romance, humour, mystery, brilliantly under acted with
one-liners to die for.
Not a weak episode in the whole collection.
Guaranteed you will watch over and over again.
THE BEST TV SERIES EVER !!! |

| Do you remember flares, Ford Cortinas, platforms, swirly wallpaper, spangles, big collars, kipper ties and the days before political correctness? This series takes you right back to the 1970s. John Simm and Philip Glenister are fabulous as the two cops trying to see where each is coming from. Set to a great 70s soundtrack, each episode is full of twists and turns with a good slice of comedy thrown in. Let me make a prediction for 2070 - this series will be a cult classic which will be spoken about in years to come! |
