It's been a bit of a turd so far, Mini Driver is a terrible actress!
They all are. I missed the first 10 minutes, is there a particular reason why the submarine appears to be full of pointless crew including several whinning teenagers?
I might miss the rest and check up on Wikipedia at a later date to find out what the big mystrey was.
Scene: quiet afternoon in BBC Drama commissioning dept. Keen interns flit hither with overpriced buckets of gritty brown liquid in paper cups, couscous and falafel pockets, and the occasional empty binder. Camera settles on desk of assistant to the assistant deputy editor of sci-fi tosh(submarine).
FX: phone rings
Ms. Lever-Arch: Hello, commissioning; Jocasta speaking?
Michael Grade(for it is he):[crackly line] This is Michael Grade; can we have our badly scripted rubbish with overpriced A-listers hamming it up back please? I know you have a budget squeeze too, but it's the only thing we're good at. The Leerdammer cheese people are giving me earache over finding a replacement for 'Heartbeat'.

Was anyone else really glad when that character got killed near the end, they were highly irritating. I was looking forward to this, reminded me of the book The Sphere by Michael Crichton but it was just terrible on almost every level.
You have to wonder why the BBC puts things like Being Human on BBC 3 and Rev on BBC 2 but gives crap like this a prime time slot on BBC 1.
