Life On Mars

Tuesdays at 8.30pm from 20 July

New to the BOX!

Just in the nick of time…

NYPD Detective Sam Tyler (Jason O'Mara) finds himself in the cultural hotbed of New York City in the tumultuous times of the Vietnam War, Watergate, women's lib and the civil and gay rights movements - without a cell phone, computer, PDA or MP3 player - suddenly hurtled back in time when he's ripped from 2008 after being hit by a car, while chasing down a criminal. He's trying mightily to understand what has just happened to him and how he can get back "home."

Tyler is forced to rely on his wits when the commonplace technologies he's used to from modern life aren't available or don't even exist yet and often finds his 2008 values in conflict with the 1973 values of his colleagues, particularly his boss Lt. Gene Hunt (Harvey Keitel), a hardened older cop who's largely set in his ways. He accepts and even encourages the casual corruption and physical abuse rampant in the police force.
