It's rare that you get anything that's original but here's a great example. In times where we are subjected to rebooted series that were popular when most of the advertisers important demographic weren't even born here we have a series that you'll have never seen anything like it before. I know people who read this will never experienced that but with this in mind here's a classic. Being original isn't, of course, going to make it a success so the scripts are top class and the characters allow the superb actors to create something very special.

Sam learns that an operation is to be conducted on him in 2006 to try and revive him from his coma. However, he believes that to return to the twenty-first century, he has to betray his colleagues in 1973 — but can he regard them as imaginary, or are they real - at least for him?
