One of today's most original police dramas follows modern-day Manchester detective Sam Tyler (John Simm), a cop who's back on the beat ... and back in 1973 in Life on Mars (UK).
The time-travelling series returns for a second (and its final) season with more twists and turns as Tyler hunts down a notorious cop killer, investigates a racial hate crime, follows the trail of a young woman's killer and attempts to deal with an IRA bombing threat.
Much of the appeal in the series results from the ambiguity of Tyler's situation: is he hallucinating, or possibly in a coma dreaming, or has he really traveled back in time?
The Life on Mars (UK): Series Two DVD set of 4 discs contain the 8 episodes that aired on BBC during the spring of 2007.
