  DCI Sam Tyler’s world is about to be turned upside down. Moments after his girlfriend and colleague, Maya, is kidnapped by a serial killer, Sam is knocked unconscious by a car and wakes up… in 1973. [52 minutes]

• Episode #102

  At a loss to discover the guilty party in a spate of armed robberies, A-Division goes to prison to escort notorious safe-cracker Dickie Fingers (Steve Evets) back to CID. However, as they transport him out of jail, they are set upon by a dangerous gang who will stop at nothing to get their hands on Fingers. As his mentor, Superintendent Harry Woolf, presides over the investigation, DCI Gene Hunt is keener than ever to show off his team's effectiveness, and they head straight for chief suspect Arnold Malone (Stephen Bent) who tips them off about the next robbery. Jaws drop in the CID unit when their first black team member arrives, DC Glenn Fletcher. Sam is taken aback - not because Fletcher's black, but because Fletcher's his mentor from his old life. Glenn becomes the butt of Ray's shockingly racist jibes, and yet seems happy to put up with it - something the present-day, older Glenn Fletcher would never do. [51 minutes]

• Episode #103

  When a bomb warning is reported, A-Division goes on red alert. According to the caller, the IRA has brought their mainland bombing campaign to Manchester. DI Sam Tyler soon realizes the bomb warning reported doesn't fit with his understanding of IRA methods. However, when Sam's modern know-how fails, they turn his back on him. As his own team's trust in him evaporates, Sam fights to prove that blaming the IRA is too obvious. Desperate to regain the faith of his colleagues, Sam realizes he must also stop a fearful, bigoted CID going after the Irish community with typical "Gene Hunt" aggression. Sam begins to show his colleagues what trying times lie ahead for them and how forming genuine bonds of trust with their communities could be the only way to ensure peace in the city - a concept Gene finds hard to adopt! [51 minutes]

• Episode #104

  When the body of a beautiful young woman is found, DCI Gene Hunt fears a serial killer he thought he'd sent down in the late '60s may still be at large. For Sam, the victim, a beauty rep like his Aunt Heather, triggers vivid recollections of childhood. Utilizing his knowledge of modern surveillance techniques, Sam is led to middle-class suburbia, where a local car dealer is throwing private parties employing the poorly paid make-up girls to "help out" when the lights go down and the wife-swapping begins. Sam and Annie go undercover as a young swinging couple to infiltrate the swinging world of Blue Nun and lava lamps. [51 minutes]

  Sam Tyler has been on sick leave for a couple of days, but he still feels strange - at least, stranger than normal. While trying to work out why he's having vivid hallucinations about what his CID colleagues are doing, he also has to take command of an urgent investigation. Sam stumbles into A-division, dazed and confused, and sees a man about to hang himself from the canteen ceiling. He learns the man's wife and daughter have been kidnapped, and are being held hostage. Knowing that time is ticking away on the women's lives, Sam is determined to shake the demons from his head, focus on the investigation and help the desperate family. He starts by interviewing all of A-Division, gaining a privileged insight into their perspectives. Sam learns of the murder of a young girl in 1972, and the speedy, aggressive apprehension of her boyfriend for the crime. In unpicking the details he begins to work out who might be motivated to hold these two vulnerable women hostage. When a clearly worse-for-wear Sam slips, Annie is left exposed as she deduces for herself the true identity of the kidnapper. Meanwhile, Sam's overview of the investigation has brought unwelcome information to light about the initial murder and hurried conviction. Now Sam and the rest of CID may have to see two dangerous individuals are brought to justice. [52 minutes]
