Brian Blessed is the flawed but brilliant Professor Patrick Pollock!
I was thinking of forummers - do you want the part?
Here's the idea. Subsea7 is an underwater research station, slightly in the future. But among the seemingly ordinary support staff are a team of crack crimefighters:
Cookie: mild mannered chef, secret enginneering genius. Guaranteed to do some underwater welding at some stage in every episode.
Admin: When he's not filing, he's using his enhanced IT skilz to unearth the crims' plans and hack into their emails.
Mickle: Station mechanic, with a hidden talent for disguise. Infiltration is his surprise weapon.
Ianrauk: Cleaner, with an eagle eye for detail and an unexpected black belt in Twaekondo.
Arch: token feisty girl. Honey traps a speciality, along with knitting.
Every week our heroes take on the agents of the evil empire, and of course, win... Adversaries often employ harpoon guns, torpedoes and rabid octopusses. None of the regular marine scientists ever catch on, depsite all 5 regularly disappearing at once in a special sub with blacked out windows.
