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.

Lost in Translation · 01-03-2010, 04:00 PM

Nah, you wouldn't... especially since it's a bit clingy.
