Roughnecks was a series that took as its central premise a similar line to that of Oil Strike North, in that the program portrayed the hardships faced by a new team appointed to the rig in the North Sea, the impact of their work on their personal lives, and the delicate balance between the needs of the individual and the needs of a team.


The cast included Liam Cunningham, Teresa Banham, James Cosmo, Bruce Jones, Clive
Russell, Ricky Tomlinson and Ashley Jensen.


**IMPORTANT**
Note that on episodes 1 & 2 the VCR stopped to early & there is small secion & the end credits missing. It's not a disaster because the next episode in each case contains a 'previously' section in which you can see what you missed that was important to the plot. However, if this is likely to annoy you, please DON'T download it.
