Murder mystery on a British nuclear submarine. Halfway through the 6 episodes now and it is still holding my interest. Slightly disappointing that there has been no sighting yet of Glosfox sitting on his bunk rolling a cricket ball under his foot. And I do still prefer the old submarine movies at periscope depth with Curt Jurgens turning his cap back to front for dramatic effect!
 
........and I keep getting this picture in my head of an old submarine being depth charged and jettisoning oil,rubbish and a selection of Glosfox floral shirts to the surface to try and deceive the enemy destroyer above!
 
I was surprised to see women persons, Asians and black folk as all part of the crew And a black captain...
Another sub doc running at the same time with a real boat, was almost all white and not a gel in sight.
 
It was supposed to be up there with Line of Duty, Dr Foster etc. Something just wasn’t right. I enjoyed it but it wasn’t a blockbuster IMO.
I believe Glos mumbled his way through the 1st episode picking up at least 20+ mistakes. He wasn’t impressed!!
