About this listen

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

A Pozzitive production for the BBC

Very funny, great characters, superb writing. Reminded me of the Navy Lark. Recommend to all with a sense of humour.

Deep humour

It was ok to pass The time whilst I was working but, not tremendously funny, not a brilliant plot and some of the acting was a bit poor. Sorry x

It was OK I suppose...

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
it gets more contrived as series 2 goes on but is very well written and of course has Been Willbond

series 1 is excellent, series 2 less so.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
it took a few listens but the scenario and characters became funnier on repeated listens. reminded me of My First Planet in that it has funny moments although the jokes can be seen coming.

Worth a try if you want a steady comedy book
