Description
“My name is Sam Tyler. I had an accident, and I woke up in 1973. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet.”

Detective Inspector Sam Tyler (1969 - 2007) was a high-ranking, and well-respected, detective of the Greater Manchester Police in 2008 who fell into a coma after a near fatal car accident and woke up in Gene Hunt's World in 1973. In 1973, he worked for the Manchester and Salford Police under the brutish DCI Gene Hunt. At some point during the late 1970's, Sam married his colleague Annie Cartwright. In 1980 Sam (and presumably Annie Cartwright) progressed to "the pub", which was covered up by DCI Hunt as a death by drowning. It was not until 1983 that the truth behind his death was revealed, due to the investigations of Alex Drake. The character is played by John Simm.
