Ten years after it was first broadcast, In Deep is out on DVD. I really should have mixed feelings about this. The first series was all over the place.

Mrs Gucci - the Concert
We're proud to announce the West End World Premier Concert Performance of Mrs Gucci at the Arts Theatre London on October 13th 2013.
After many years of development, the show is ready to go into production next year, and the one-off concert performance, lasting only an hour, will give you both a flavour of the music and the impetus of the narrative.
Julie Atherton will be singing the role of Patrizia Reggiani Martinelli (formerly Gucci) currently serving a 26 year prison sentence in San Vittore in Milan for murder. Her dead husband, former director of the famous fashion house, Maurizio Gucci, will be sung by Bart Edwards. His cousin, Paolo Gucci, will be sung by Graham MacDuff. The part of Patrizia's counsellor and psychic guru, Pina Auriemma, also serving a life sentence for murder, will be performed by Sophie-Louise Dunn.
The performance will commence at 6 O'Clock on Sunday 13th October, and last approximately an hour.

I Blame Time
I Blame Time – featuring Julie Atherton as Patrizia Gucci
Desperate
Faithless
Abandoned by luck
No one to turn to
But the stars above
Hopeless
Heartless
The ice in your eyes
But I don't blame you
I blame time
I'll blame time
I blame time
Needy
Bleeding
Locked in my mind
Fighting my demons
I didn't hear your cries
So hate me
Berate me
Say what you want
But I won't blame you no
I don't blame anyone I don't
I don't blame me
I blame time
I'll blame time
I blame time
I'll blame time
I see the long years ahead
Tearing our good will to shreds
But one day this madness will pass
One day you'll repay
My love
I blame time
I'll blame time
I blame time
Desperate
Helpless
Cold and cast out
But nothing will shake me
From this rock of love
Patient
I'll wait here
And hold to the last
No I don't blame you no
I won't blame anyone I don't
I won't blame me
I'll blame time
Mrs Gucci
Who was rich and she was poor,
Her mother was a laundress
Her father bought her pearls,
The world owed her a living
But it never could be hers,
So the beginning of this story is
That poor rich little girl.
