Life on mars

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_on_Mars_(TV_series)

Life on Mars is a British science fiction and police drama
television series. It was first broadcast on BBC One between January 2006 and April 2007.
The programme tells the story of
DCI Sam Tyler of the Greater Manchester Police (played by John Simm), who, after being hit by a car in 2006, finds himself in the year 1973. There, he works for Manchester and Salford Police CID 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 the differences between his modern approach to policing and the more traditional methods of his colleagues. Mixing the genres of science fiction and police procedural, the series centres on the ambiguity concerning Tyler's predicament: it is unclear whether he is insane, in a coma, or if he really has travelled back in time.[1]
