Such a cool series. Eerie, funny, and engaging. Iconic use of the Bowie song.
One of the best shows ever made. Needs to be watched by everyone at least once in their lifetime.
I came for the Bowie and stayed for the odd mystery, supernatural time and nostalgic old school cop show. Philip Glenister steals the show
The trip to the past is very interesting. I was kind of disappointed by the ending though.
Interesting idea that the series doesn’t take too seriously. Much better thanks than The Sweeney as well. B+
A show about a cop who wakes up in 1970s Manchester has no right to be this good.
Shockingly witty and entertaining BBC drama
Excellent sci-fi crime thriller series, great story and acting. Worth watching
I love this show so sad it wasn't continued its amazing definitely up there as one of my favourites.
Absolutely amazing show, the set, use of music and clothing is the best I’ve ever seen. Such a good concept. The ending however disappointin

It's 1986 - the year Maradona ends England's World Cup dreams in Mexico; the year Top Gun is the highest grossing film; the year over 3.4 million Brits are unemployed and the year Shaun is leaving school.
Partly-improvised sitcom looking at the trials and tribulations of bringing up three young children - a regal five-year-old girl with a talent for interrogation, a seven-year-old boy who could fib for Britain and an 11-year-old who is gearing up for his scary first day at secondary school.
The lives of two eccentric metal detectorists, who spend their days plodding along ploughed tracks and open fields, hoping to disturb the tedium by unearthing the fortune of a lifetime.
A crazy comedy about three rather strange parish priests exiled to Craggy Island, a remote island off the Irish west coast.
A drama about the investigations of AC-12, a controversial police anticorruption unit.
Spaced: the anti-Friends, in that it examines the lives of common 20 somethings, but in a way that is more down to earth and realistic. Here we have Daisy and Tim; two 'young' adults with big dreams just trying to get by in this crazy world. They are thrown together in a common pursuit of tenancy, which they find by posing as a couple. The house has a landlady and an oddball artist living there. The series explores the ins and outs of London living.
When strange anomalies start to appear all over England, Professor Cutter and his team must track down and capture all sorts of dangerous prehistoric creatures from Earth's distant past and near future.
