Philip Glenister - The Official Site

			This BAFTA and International Emmy award winning British TV drama series was first shown on BBC1 in January and February 2006. The second and final series ended on 10 April 2007. The format of the series mixes science fiction, specifically time travel with police drama. The central character is DCI Sam Tyler played by John Simm, who, after being hit by a car in 2006, finds himself in the year 1973.

	There he works as a DI under DCI Gene Hunt played by Philip Glenister. Over the course of the series, Tyler faces various culture clashes, most frequently regarding differences in his approach to policing compared to that of his colleagues. The series also features a strong ambiguity concerning Tyler's predicament: it is unclear whether he really has travelled back in time, is in a coma in 2006 and imagining his experiences, or if he is from 1973 but mentally unstable.
