(What's this?)
In Deep was originally aired in the early 2000's and ran to three series and 22 episodes in total. Series 2 was shown in 2002. The format is that each that each story consists of two episodes. For some reason these have not previously been released in DVD format which given the quality of the offering is surprising.
The stories hit the right balance between interesting characters and a solid believable plot. Liam and Garth played by Nick Berry and Stephen Tompkinson are detectives who work underground to infiltrate a variety of criminal situations. The two part format gives enough time for the plots to be reasonably well developed and there is a sufficient measure of twists and turns to keep the viewer interested.
I do not recollect this series on TV and it seems to have passed largely unnoticed. However, based on the two stories which Amazon kindly sent me, it makes for reasonably good entertainment and I do plan to watch Series 1 and also Series 3, when the latter is released in early 2012.

Worth a look if only to see how it was done in 2001. Undercover cops with personality, Garth O'Hanlon (played by Stephen Tompkins appearing in nine of the of twenty-two episodes in the complete series) does a nice line in asides.
I thought the Jekylls the best episode. The writers made much more of the plot: drugs; guns; counterfeit goods. It had more of a realistic flavour than Untouched episode. That, I thought, was rather pedestrian though it had the great Ian McShane enjoying himself (though will he ever better his Deadwood role).
As these are cop shows they have to follow the formulae of involving plenty of cars, talking while standing by them, getting in and out, driving them in traffic so they go across the screen left or right and ideally a chase somewhere that provides action but doesn't need dialogue.
`In deep' isn't one of the greatest cop TV series but it does supply all the ingredients for an entertaining hour per episode viewing.

I hadn't realised until I listened to the commentary track that In Deep was written specifically as a Nick Berry vehicle. It's fortunate that the premise called for a second lead and that this was given to Stephen Tompkinson, an actor whose edgy performance is well worth seeing. Carli Norris also features.
I could still just about remember the plots of these four stories (each consisting of two one-hour episodes) from their original broadcasts. The writer, Peter Jukes's commentary for the first story is interesting - Berry and Tompkinson also add their laddish comments. Jukes reveals that he had to make the plots more complex to fill the required two hours, and also that he was required to add violent scenes near the top of the first episode at the production company's request. He also points out that King's Cross Station is clearly visible through the window of the Manchester flat being used by the two undercover cops.
The plotlines are all something along the lines of "cops work under cover to bust a crime and run the risk of being found out; meanwhile, they experience problems in their personal lives", but they are engaging and enjoyable, and none the worse for being a little formulaic. The various plot-lines are interwoven so there's always something interesting happening on the screen.
It's an enjoyable and undemanding 8 hours of television.

Tough and well-made
It is a good BBC product, a gripping series. Perhaps, too many dialogues. I liked most the episode "Untouched".
Thanks for the quick sending.
