The recent American remake will be coming to video soon, but in the meantime, the original British version of the critically acclaimed series makes its DVD debut.

After being hit by a car, a police detective (John Simm) is convinced he's been transported back to the 1970s, and he must alter his style to conform to a time before modern investigative methods were the norm.

Philip Glenister and Liz White also star. DVD extras include: three "making-of" documentaries; audio commentary by cast and crew members; outtakes; interview with director Bharat Nalluri. *** (Not rated: AS, P, V)
