Picture

The Russian broadcaster Channel One has remade the show as Обратная сторона Луны ( The Dark Side of the Moon, after the Pink Floyd album of the same name). [24] The series began on 5 November 2012, running for 16 episodes. It tells the story of Moscow police captain Mikhail Mikhailovich Solovyov (Михаил Михайлович Соловьёв), who is hit by a car in 2012 during pursuit of a suspect, and wakes up in hospital in Soviet Moscow in 1979. Soon Mikhail is released, and takes the place of his father, Mikhail Ivanovich Solovyov.

In the Republic of Ireland RTÉ Two broadcast the series from June 2007 in a late evening slot, following RTÉ News on Two. Later, Channel 4 drama executive John Yorke substantially redeveloped the original script, focusing on a double act between Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt. Senior management eventually decided not to pursue the idea, with Graham telling the Radio Times that the reaction to the idea was "it's going to be silly". The series eventually attracted the attention of BBC Wales' Julie Gardner, who persuaded BBC Head of Drama Jane Tranter to commission the programme from BBC Wales for BBC One. [5] John Yorke left Channel 4 to rejoin the BBC and, together with Julie Gardner, acted as joint commissioning editor on the show for its entire run.

The programme's central character Sam Tyler was originally to have been named Sam Williams, but Kudos felt this not to be striking enough and requested Graham devise an alternative surname. Graham asked his young daughter for her opinion and she suggested Tyler for the character's surname. He later discovered that his daughter had named the character after the Doctor Who character Rose Tyler; coincidentally, shortly after Rose leaves Doctor Who, the villainous Master makes his return in an incarnation portrayed by Sam Tyler's actor John Simm. [8] The initial geographical setting was to be London, which was changed to Leeds and finally to Manchester, as part of a BBC initiative to make more programmes in the city. [7] The name Sam Williams was subsequently used as a plot point in the second series.

Introduction

In Australia the original British version was broadcast on ABC1 from 20 May 2007, with the second following during February 2008. The US version broadcast on 5 February 2009 on Network Ten. For contractual reasons certain edits have been made ' this applies to some of the music used in the series and have been replaced with other music instead. Of course, taking the idea a bit further it’s really all about denial and acceptance, and on some level Sam has to accept that he has died. His return to 2006 in the finale is an anomaly, and the moment that inspires him to jump is the moment that he realises he is not alive because he can’t feel anything. Sure, at the time his return to 1973 represents a sort of return to living, but personally I think on some level, in his final moments on the rooftop as the Bowie song that starts and ends the series plays and a slight smile crosses Sam’s face, he knows he is dead. Ashes to Ashes aired on BBC One from February 2008 to May 2010. A third series entitled Lazarus (again a David Bowie song) was announced in 2020, but its development was cancelled in 2023.
