Air na Rigs/Life Offshore
Documentary about the daily lives of those working on North Sea oil platforms Buzzard and Golden Eagle - from drillers and deckhands to caterers and controllers.
C貌 ris a tha e coltach a bhith ag obair air cl脿r ola? A bhith a' f脿gail comhfhurtachd an dachaigh agus a' siubhal ann a heileacoptair gu d' obair ann am meadhan a' chuain? C貌 ris a tha e coltach a bhith ag obair fad dusan uair an uaireadair, latha as d猫idh latha airson ceala-deug gun latha dheth, air falbh bho ch脿irdean is charaidean? Bidh sinn a' faicinn an d貌igh-beatha seo troimh sh霉ilean an luchd-obrach: bho dhrilearan gu criutha deic, agus bho sti霉bhardan gu sti霉irichean - 's ann ainneamh a gheibhear an cothrom fhaicinn steach dhan t-saoghal d矛omhair seo. Air an cl脿r-ola as motha san R矛oghachd Aonaichte "Buzzard", agus an cl脿r-ola as 霉ra sa Chuan a Tuath "Golden Eagle".
Bidh sinn a' leantainn na fireannaich 's na boireannaich a th' air ceann caol gn矛omhachas na h-ola - 脿rainneachd cho garbh agus d霉bhlanach 's a ghabhas.
What is life offshore really like? What is it like to leave the comfort of your own home and fly in a helicopter to work in the middle of the sea? What does it feel like to work 12-hour shifts for 14 days straight, with no days off and away from family? We experience it through the eyes of those who work there. From drillers to deckhands, caterers to controllers, this is an honest look into what it feels like to work offshore on the largest North Sea oil platform, Buzzard, and on the newest platform in the North Sea, Golden Eagle.
Through this unique access, we get a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse into an often secretive
world that is inaccessible to most of us. Over 70% of the UK's primary energy comes from oil and gas, and we meet some of the men and women whose job it is to work in this hostile and challenging environment.
