Philip Palmer's drama finds wargame supremo Bradley Shoreham attacking an offshore oil rig

Wargame exercise writer Bradley Shoreham is wreaking havoc as part of a major safety drill on a North Sea oil rig. Tim Woodward stars in Philip Palmer's drama series.

Tom Wilson runs an oil rig in the North Sea. It's a challenging job at the best of times. But today he's being put through his paces by wargame exercise writer Bradley Shoreham who has invented all manner of crises to push him and his crew to the limit and beyond.

Written by Philip Palmer
Directed by Toby Swift

Part of the 2013 series of Red and Blue, Philip Palmer's drama focusing on the work of Lieutenant Colonel Bradley Shoreham (Tim Woodward). After leaving the British Army, Shoreham became a Consultant Subject Matter Expert. He spends his working life creating war games for training purposes.
