Deep Trouble: The Complete Series 1 and 2

A BBC Radio 4 Comedy

February 2012. Somewhere in the North Atlantic.

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.

Wherever they are, they don't know where they are. But they're probably not far from trouble. Deep trouble.

A hilarious comedy that Time Out called "a cracker" and the Sunday Telegraph described as "written with nutty aplomb", Deep Trouble is written by and stars Ben Willbond and Jim Field Smith.

Produced and directed by David Tyler

Hilarious and great acting

This was so much fun to listen to. I've actually listened to this a few times. The first couple tones through I laughed so hard. by now i use it to fall asleep so I fall asleep smiling.

Deeply Not Funny

So, you like Cabin Pressure? This is the opposite of that. One-dimensional characters, the barest hint of an interesting plot, and dialogue that real people wouldn’t say.

Maybe the quality improves after the second episode but I a) wouldn’t count on it and b) won’t find out because I’m not enough of a masochist to subject myself to any more.
