In answer to other comments on here, yes it's drama and as such doesn't need to be 100% accurate, however, this series is so far divorced from reality it must be set in an alternative universe.
The premise of an uncleared civilian running around a ballistic missile submarine is ludicrous in the extreme and the way she talks to the crew, especially the senior officers would have her in the brig or permanently under guard in a very short time. The same with the DS running around Faslane like she owns the place, also talking to senior officers like they are dirt on her shoe.
There are so many mistakes in the series it's impossible to list them all, however, a medical officer not being able to pronounce atropine correctly is laughable and then claiming that there is none on board makes her the stupidest doctor in the Forces. The civilian police officer then informing the sailors about nerve agents is pure comedy gold, as is a Coxswain of a major ship obviously not knowing about them.
The BBC seem to be going out of their way to show the sailors to be absolute morons which is hardly surprising nowadays.
Obviously given the sets, uniforms, procedures, etc. In the series, minimal research was done which is a shame.
If you are capable of completely parking reality and common sense on the back shelf then you may have enjoy this, except for the total overacting of the two female leads.
