I DO NOT OWN THE DEEP OR ANY CONTENT. IT BELONGS TO THE BBC. NO PROFIT MADE.

'The Deep' follows the crew of The Orpheus, an oceanographic submarine, as they search the final frontiers of Earth for unknown and remarkable life forms. The team onboard believe their findings could potentially lead to the next generation of bio-fuels, which could solve the energy crisis.

But before the ecosystem can be fully explored, a series of catastrophic events strikes The Orpheus. Hardly surprising given the environment -- crushing pressure, boiling vent gases, freezing temperature gradients and total darkness. This is the deepest, furthest, loneliest place on Earth. The Lomonosov Ridge -- an enormous tract of sea-floor -- is a disputed territory. Nobody comes here.

However, it soon becomes clear that there's more than just Mother Nature attacking them. There is someone else out there...

The last team who went -- including Clem's wife -- died in mysterious circumstances, so the Orpheus crew are already feeling nervous when a salvage inspector unexpectedly joins their mission. What does he know about the lost crew, and who is he working for?

James Nesbitt (Occupation, Murphy's Law) stars as Clem Donnelly, alongside Minnie Driver (Circle Of Friends, Good Will Hunting) as Frances Kelly and Goran Visnjic (ER, Welcome To Sarajevo) as Samson Ungliss.

  • great show! really great!

  • Hi

    Only just got round to watching the 5 episode's this week.

    I think it was not a bad show and quite an interesting show as its about

    The world's energy supplies dwindle, the Orpheus, a research submarine, delves into the deep of the Arctic Ocean searching for rare micro-organisms, but the crew soon find themselves in peril.

    It seemed to get really bad reviews like Outcasts but I liked both shows.

  • Sorry for my english I am Russian.Very interesting story but ..Why russians in this film look like's cleaners with idiot faces and ultramodern submarine look's like big floating pile of rubbish...Wherever dirt, prehistoric computers and all crew -bald. :-) Authors follow stupid stamps about russians, created by american during the Cold War

  • i loved this programme. i wonder why no one has heard of it. its at times like this when u wonder WHY do people love the only way is essex and ignore this brilliant tv show.

  • great tv show :)

  • I liked the premise. 

  • I watched part 1 last night and will not watch part 2 what a load of crap.

  • just seen this and felt sick i watched it , i have sat through some useless stuff in my life but this (although well acted ) was one of the worst stories , its the same as when i read american psycho . the hype is all there is my god can we have better stuff. i don't mind silly even stupid , foolish or heavy but pointless is where i draw the line . bad show. i hope they do better next time.

    even my wife was annoyed she watched it . nuff said

  • comes out on dvd on the 27th, im gonna get it for my bday :)

  • Why I sometimes wish I didn't have to pay the license fee... yes, sure, there's a lot of worthwhile stuff, but this?
