In the UK LoM Sam Tyler was in a coma and everything was a product of his imagination. At the end of the series he commits suicide and 'dies' in the present, but continues to live in the 1970s for another seven years. When Drake gets shot in the first episode of ASHES TO ASHES, she assumes (as do we) that because she was reading Sam Tyler's psych profile and his detailed account of life in the 1970s, she created a similar fantasy world.
The whole thing gets thrown into severe doubt because in the final episode of the first season, Gene Hunt is revealed as having played a role in investigating the murder of Drake's parents as a child, so he really existed. Apparently the second season of ASHES TO ASHES is supposed to dive into this mystery in more detail.
