On Life On Mars, Detective Sam Tyler had an accident in 2007 and was transported back to 1973.
However, the story didn't end there: in the modern world of 2008, Detective Inspector Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes, MI-5) has risen rapidly through the ranks as a psychological profiler, and she's highly valued as an aid to capturing suspects. But she is ripped from her current world of high-tech gadgets and sexual equality when she is kidnapped and shot. Suddenly, Alex finds herself in 1981, interacting with familiar characters from the detailed reports she's been studying, logged by none other than Sam Tyler.
