This recording: BBC 7, 2004 1. (2004-11-16) 'Five Miles Down': Captain Harris is the boss of an understaffed and overworked seabed drilling station. When an accident kills one of his team, his troubles begin. 2. (2004-11-17) 'Conspiracy': Disaster after disaster strikes the undersea base - namely mutated crewmen and bolshy computers. 3. (2004-11-18) 'Heat': Harris and Rossie reach an awkward understanding - but how long will it last with a traitor in the base? 4. (2004-11-19) 'And Then There Were Three': Kettle, Grenshaw and Rossie are the only crewmembers left. Which one is the traitor? A game of cat and mouse ensues.

Elation turns to terror, however, when a series of 'accidents' causes several deaths, and a strange virus which mutates DNA is loosed--- obviously, someone on board is a killer..... Reviews:
A whodunit which comes across much like an Alistair Maclean thriller. Tense, gripping, with excellent writing, acting, and sound effects. Beyond the idea of an undersea habitat, there is very little here that is particularly futuristic. The most unusual aspect of the story involves a manmade virus which mutates its victims into psychopathic quasi-humans, a plot device which seemed unnecessary-- the story could easily have been told without it. Nevertheless, I found it suspenseful, engaging, and well-plotted. If you're a fan of the film 'The Abyss' , you'll likely enjoy this one. -- Webmaster. http://www.otrplotspot.com/BBCplots.htm
