Episode one

Despite eerie visions that suggest a tantalizing proximity to modern day, DI Sam Tyler once again wakes up to find himself very much amongst the pale brown hues of the technologically prehistoric, politically incorrect world of ‘70s Manchester. And worse, he's got a murder to solve. Sam encounters the young incarnation of Tony Crane, a nasty villain he put away in his previous life. This is his chance to do what every cop dreams about- stop the killer before he kills. Stepping outside of the law to make sure Crane is put away; Sam shocks even his brash colleagues in CID (Criminal Investigation Department). But what they can't understand is what Sam fears - that, since his car accident, Crane has been released and found his way to his hospital bedside where he is exacting his revenge on Sam's vulnerable body. Still desperate to discover how he got to 1973, why he remains there and how he may return to the present day, Sam has to race against the clock to capture a killer, who is trying to murder him in the future.

Episode two

At a loss to discover the guilty party in a spate of armed robberies, A-Division goes to prison to escort notorious safe-cracker Dickie Fingers (Steve Evets) back to CID. However, as they transport him out of jail, they are set upon by a dangerous gang who will stop at nothing to get their hands on Fingers. As his mentor, Superintendent Harry Woolf, presides over the investigation, DCI Gene Hunt is keener than ever to show off his team's effectiveness, and they head straight for chief suspect Arnold Malone (Stephen Bent) who tips them off about the next robbery. Jaws drop in the CID unit when their first black team member arrives, DC Glenn Fletcher. Sam is taken aback - not because Fletcher's black, but because Fletcher's his mentor from his old life. Glenn becomes the butt of Ray's shockingly racist jibes, and yet seems happy to put up with it - something the present-day, older Glenn Fletcher would never do.
