About Sam Tyler:
Sam Tyler is a Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) in the 2006 Greater Manchester Police force. He was born in 1969 and is the son of Vic and Ruth Tyler. He joined the force at the age of 19 in 1988. He was also in a committed relationship with his girlfriend Maya.

After being hit by a car, Sam wakes to find himself in 1973 - only four years after his birth. Unsure whether he is in a coma and dreaming, mad, or if he has actually gone back in time, he finds he is a DI in the contemporary police force of the age, starting his first day in the same station he worked at in 2006 only 33 years in the past, and has to prove himself to his new DCI, Gene Hunt.

At one point, the voice of his surgeon appears as a new character, acting DCI Frank Morgan, who tells Sam that he has amnesia brought on by a car accident and has really been sent from Hyde to infiltrate the rotten A Division.

After seeing half of an episode, I have to agree the man is talented. He brings a lot of emotion to the role. and it's nice and casual, not over acted.

I'd love to see him doing a play one day

Bee, he's been in various things - so far I've seen him in Life on Mars, State of Play and Doctor Who. Can't wait to watch more of his work though.

Yeah he's been in quite a lot, check out his IMDB

out of that, I've seen him in LoM, Doctor Who, State of Play, Human Traffic, Brothers of the Head (okay, that was a REALLY small cameo )... I think that's it. I still have quite a lot to see

That is a very good episode

the current issue of Doctor Who Adventures magazine has a replica of the Laser Screwdriver but it's a squirt gun.. and there's a Master poster that is really nice. I was SO tempted to buy it but I didn't have enough money on me I might go back tomorrow because I do really need some more John in my life

I heard John Simm was going to guest-star on Doctor Who and I was so excited. I loved that he got to play someone so evil (keep in mind I had no idea who The Master was).

Mm, yeah. I mean Sam is such a black-and-white character most of the time, but John Simm played him to perfection.
