Oil Rig

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A sound portrait of a visit.
Earlier this year the blow-out on a North Sea drilling platform, tackled so excitingly by Red Adair and his team, was a timely reminder of the dangerous conditions under which our North Sea prosperity is won.
In this shortened version of the programme broadcast in February on Radio 3, a BBC team records in sound and voices the experience of living on board an exploration rig.
"A devastating impression of reality." (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
