Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Crime Traveller was a short-lived British television series from The '90s, created and written by Anthony Horowitz. Police detective Jeff Slade (Michael French) discovers the existence of a time machine (maintained by Holly Turner (Chloë Annett), daughter of the inventor) that can be used to travel up to a day into the past. Slade teams up with Turner and they start using the machine to solve crimes by visiting crime scenes as the crime is occurring.Note that using the time machine to prevent the crimes isn't an option: The past is fixed, and any attempt to alter things results in the discovery that You Already Changed the Past. It happens more than once that a crime will have some odd detail which turns out to have been caused by Jeff Slade in his attempt to solve it.

Aborted Arc: We get drip-fed a few pieces of information about Slade's past, including the fact he's divorced and has a photo of a woman who died in his flat, which would presumably have been followed up on if there'd been a second season.

Butt-Monkey: Detective Morris, Slade's rival. If anyone's going to slip over during a chase, it's him. One episode even ends with him covered in cuts and with his arm in a sling after being attacked by a dog.

British Brevity: The only season had 8 episodes. There were ideas for a second season, but the BBC wasn't impressed and axed it (like many other of its sci-fi shows from the late 90s).

Clear My Name: Episode 2, with the variant that they have five hours to do it and get back to the time machine. Also present in Episode 5.

Amateur Sleuth: Holly kind of fits this trope, since she's more of a scientist than a proper policeman.
