Atlantis is a British fantasy-adventure television programme inspired by Greek mythology and created by Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy with Howard Overman. It premiered on 28 September 2013 on BBC One. In the show, submarine pilot Jason washes up on the shores of legendary Atlantis and must navigate the powerful leaders of the mythological realm.
Atlantis was the biggest new Saturday night drama series launch across all BBC channels since 2006, even up on the launch of hit show Merlin.[1] It also managed to draw 1 million viewers away from the highly popular ITV show The X Factor, which aired at the same time in the UK.[2]
On 26 October 2013, BBC One ordered a second series of the show, which began airing on 15 November 2014.[3][4] On 23 January 2015, it was announced that the series had been cancelled.[5]
Plot
[edit]In the modern day, Jason, the protagonist of the show, pilots a one-man submarine to investigate a deep sea disturbance that resulted in the disappearance of his father when he was a child. When he discovers the location, the submarine begins to fail and he is pulled into white light. He wakes up on the shores of the kingdom of Atlantis, which is ruled by the traditonalist King Minos and his power-hungry wife Queen Pasiphae, who seeks the throne for herself.
Initially on the run from the authorities, he is given shelter by a pair of unlucky and largely unemployed locals: Pythagoras — a young intellectual who has yet to uncover his theorem — and the ex-prize fighter Hercules — a hopeless romantic who spends most of his time in taverns drinking and gambling. The trio live out a series of Greek myths over the show’s two season run, encountering monsters, gods, and demigods as they battle to do good and protect the innocent. Along the way, they acquire new allies and friends including Medusa, a palace maid; Ariadne, daughter of the King and heir to the throne; and the mysterious Oracle, who seems unsurprised at Jason's arrival and is in some way connected to him. The Oracle predicts that a world-changing destiny is in store for Jason if he remains on the right path.

Composed by Stuart Hancock, the album features 30 tracks and 73 minutes of music score, with the final track, entitled 'Vision of the Future', incorporating Rob Lane's original series title theme. Reviewing this soundtrack release in Synchrotones, Pete Simons wrote "Stuart Hancock's Atlantis is a magnificent work... What is impressive about Atlantis is its big cinematic feel; along with its large orchestral performance...the score sounds vibrant and exciting in a way that many similar scores don't."[24]
