According to the BBC website: "Simon Donald's drama 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.

"The Deep is simulcast on the BBC HD channel - the BBC's High Definition channel, available through Freesat 108, Freeview 50, Sky 143 and Virgin 108."
