Am I mad? In a coma? Or back in time?

"My name is Sam Tyler. I had an accident and woke up in 1973. Am I mad? In a coma? Or back in time?"

This is the introduction of the BBC TV series "Life on Mars". Currently I am watching the second (and final) season of this fine police drama set in the 1970's era. Besides the retro style of the series, it has its appeal from the main character "Sam Tyler" who is detective inspector who awoke after an accident in 1973 and with the knowledge of the year 2006 now has to cope with the reality(?) of the 70's.

Other quotes:

  • "You Great Soft Sissie Girlie Nancy French Bender Man United Supporting Poof."
  • "Don't move! You are surrounded by armed bastards!"
  • "Alright, Guv, we have nicked him!"
