Does anyone remember this series from the 80's (?), it was a group of oil rig workers. Ricky Tomlinson and Pat Roach were in it and it was really good.

Does anyone know if it has been released on DVD? Many thanks.

Hi Tizzi:

Yes, I remember it well, it was a favourite of mine, pity there were only two series made.
Can you remember that the series was created by a guy called Kieren Prendiville who used to be on Tomorrow's World?
Unfortunately, I don't think it is on DVD: I've searched a couple of sites and cannot find it. Hopefully it will eventually find its way onto DVD. Incidentally it was shown 1994/5.
Sorry I can't help any more.

Thanks paraffin, I didn't know Kieran Prendeville wrote it, he was also on That's Life wasn't he?

Yes I LOVED that series. Unfortunately it ever only came out in VHS and it was very limited. There were a few copies floating around but i could never get hold of the complete series. I even emailed the BBC and Keiran Prenderville(who wrote it) asking how to obtain copies but i was never successful :O(
