Danger at Ocean Deep.

Initial Thoughts: Ceefax's bloke's reaction to the teaser - 'it's the dog food of death!' I'm surprised it made such a lasting impression...

Ocean Pioneer I: Very optimistic.

Continuing Initial Thoughts: The lovely floaty island paradise music sounds a bit odd playing over shots of dangerous chemicals signs.

Hah!: "That's strange, those weather boys don't normally slip up on this kind of thing..." The future really is a different country.

Kaboom: Explosions in the mist - very pretty.

Ocean Pioneer II: Reminds me of Sinclair's explanation for Babylon 5 - when something gets destroyed you build it again, and when it gets destroyed again you build it again and so on, until it stays. (Or until you run out of funds or someone realises you never got planning permission...)

Class Act: Drunken Chauffeurs. Ugly upper-class worshipping arseholes.

Celtic Pride: Comedy scots bonnet. Isn't that a kind of chili?

Playpuppet: Scott's draping himself over desks again, bless...

Champagne!: As disturbed as I am by Parker generally, I do approve of not wasting champagne on boats. Although 1998 actually wasn't a very good year for champagne at all...

The Lady: Lady P: "Yes, I gave it the once over." 'What about the captain, Penny?' 'Shagged his brains out, Jeff...'

Pretty: Full launch sequence, TB1.

Order: They send TB2 out before TB1 gets there again, but Gordon gets to do something, so never mind.

Interference: My telly does that whenever anyone switches on a hairdryer on the same floor.

Pretty 2: Full launch sequence TB3. You get your money's worth of TBs this episode.

Brotherly Love: John calls Alan 'boy' again. Also he owes him six hours. Man, those Tracy boys have got stamina...

Trouble at the Old Well: It's scary the way Jeff can tell it's TB1 just from the engine. I know people who can do that with cars.

Glorious Mud: It must have seemed a good idea, at the planning stage, to put the entrances to all the TBs in the living room. But who's going to clean up all that mud Scott's just traipsed in?

Fishy: Letting Captain Birdseye run the Pioneer II was probably a bad idea.

Come up to the Lab: I really like Brains' lab. I don't think I've ever seen an airtight gas chamber before.

Even more Kabooming: Newsflash: All dogs are to be kept away from rocket fuel.

The Truth is Out There: Sir Arthur looks like an alien.

Pretty 3: The mist is nice. And looks like iceburgs.

"Well, what are we standing around for then? Let's go!": Jeff usually vetos anything along those lines... I was very surprised when they actually went.

Blinds: The radiation shields are just like the ones in the Sidewinder. (ie, they prevent you seeing where you're going. Someone needs to get round to inventing transparent aluminium)

Awooga: The emergency button reminds me of that episode of Father Ted on the plane...

"We can't last very long without air...": Will everyone please stop sticking nuclear reactors in everything that moves? Haven't you learned by now?

"Terrifying, isn't it?": Now was a really really bad time for Virgil's crippling mist phobia to kick in.

Slicey Slicey: Is cutting through the radiation shielding a good idea? Isn't it there for a reason?

Rise and Glow: Captain Birdseye to Scott - "Call... International... Rescue..." 'Because they might know what they're doing, unlike you, you daft radiation shield cutting idiot...'

Crunch: Virgil lands on the tower... See what happens when Scott isn't there to tell him what to do?

Dirty Boy: How did John get dirt on his face? He had a helmet on the whole time...

Just Plain Boy: Scott calls John 'boy' this time...

Parental Guidence: A brief word about the very end: Why do parents always assume that any discussion you have with siblings is an argument? This is why puny younger siblings get beaten up all the time - there's no forum for debate. The inherant frustrations have to come out somehow...
