Life on Mars (2006)

Production Year: 2006

Production Country: UK

Drama series about Sam Tyler, a Manchester detective who suffers a near-fatal car crash and wakes up in what seems to be 1973.

Unsure whether he's in a coma, has really time-travelled or has just gone mad, Tyler's 21st century attitudes make him a fish-out-of-water in this world of clunky technology and old fashioned policing. Then he discovers a connection between a murder in 1973 and the 2006 kidnapping case he was working on, and solving this case could be the key to getting home.

I am delighted to see this being repeated because I missed the first two episodes. My impression is that Sam is actually starting (2006) in a coma (as explained in the last episode) and that 1973 is actually his reality. Clever ending fitted this perfectly - except that it opens up more questions that were never answered (eg., meeting his mother).
