“If I told you the truth, I’d have to kill you...”
The Deep-sea Energy Exploration Project was apparently destroyed by dirty bombs in 2039 AD, turning the surrounding sea bed into a radioactive tomb. Rumours suggest the DEEP was conducting illegal, unethical experiments...
In 2066, the Doctor discovers the research centre remains intact. The terrible truth about what happened twenty-seven years ago will soon be revealed. The Doctor is determined to be the first to uncover and confront the secrets of the DEEP.
But unearthing the past can have terrible consequences for your future...

Notes
- David Collings (The Doctor) previously played Vorus in DW: Revenge of the Cybermen and Ander Poul in DW: The Robots of Death. He would later reprise his role as Poul in MB: Hidden Persuaders, MB: Taren Capel and MB: Checkmate and would later play Professor Gabriel Sanders in the second series of Jago and Litefoot.
- Siri O'Neal (Ruth) would later play Colonel Emily Chaudhry in the UNIT audio series.
- Over the course of the story, the 'What If' scenario is revealed to be "What if the Doctor believed the ends justified the means?", with Collings's Doctor being portrayed as a Doctor who kills as the first option for the 'greater good' where the Doctor in canon would be more willing to rely on peoples' better natures and allow them to live after making dangerous mistakes rather than killing them in case they repeated their errors.
- The regenerated Doctor at the end of the story was credited to Ian Brooker on the Big Finish website, but was not listed in the story's printed liner notes.
- This audio drama was recorded on 19 May 2003.
