  • Deep Trouble

    2012 - In an increasingly uncertain defence environment, a deadly new arms race has begun. In an attempt to secure her boundaries, Britain has deployed the very latest sub-sea military technology.
    Beneath and beyond the front line, these are the adventures of the HMS Goliath. A 55,000 tonne M-Class nuclear stealth submarine, prowling 5,000 metres below the surface. Manned by idiots.
    The idiots in question consist of lunch-loving Captain Paul Wade, old school Commander Alison Fairbanks and the frustrated Lieutenant Jack Trainor (pronounced "Tren-oor" apparently).







    Series 1 01. Britain 2012. Nuclear submarine HMS Goliath is on patrol, minus a high-tech crew. A NATO exercise with our American friends goes horribly wrong as the crew find that torpedoes and coffee don't mix.
    02. Some US Navy Seals set hearts and minds racing on board the Goliath, while PO 'Fatty' Lewis gets stuck up a pipe.
    03. A Russian sub, a Harrier Jump Jet, a sewing machine and an unexpected promotion for Lucy.
    04. A stray astronaut and a rock band cause confusion in both Captain Wade's head and Portsmouth.

    Series 2
    01. A new crew member, a noxious gas, a beetroot smoothie and bad haircut spell disaster for Trainor, Wade, Fairbanks and the crew.
    02. When Trainor meets up with an old friend, it's time for a snowball fight, a French telephonist, some spinach and a heavy machine gun.
    03. An overheating nuclear reactor leads to dangerous encounters for Captain Wade with a lobster, Fairbanks with a laser-guided jet and Trainor with a rather large Prince Albert.
    04. Goliath is coming to the end of its voyage and the crew are preparing for some revelry. Barry finds a donkey, Wade finds a baby, Fairbanks finds an admiral and Trainor finds a jazz band.
