I remember several years ago seeing a documentary series about the discovery of North Sea oil and how it changed the the economy and way of life of the people of Aberdeen. As I was watching I thought this would make a great TV series.
Well several years later swap Aberdeen for Stavinger in Norway a struggling small fishing village transformed overnight with the discovery of North Sea oil. Not just the economic benefits but the influx of millionaire Stetson wearing Texan oilman to this sleepy town.
Not only is there much needed wealth but the impact on the love lives local industries and jobs in the town. Throw in to the mix the extreme danger involved in drilling for oil, and you have a series which pretty well has everything. 8/10
