Jamie, Price and others in “Fury from the Deep”

Jamie

You mean to say that this place supplies all the gas for the whole of the south of England?

And for the whole of Wales.

Victoria

What are all those lights for?

Well, that's a plan of the entire compound and each of those lights represents a remote control camera that I can switch through to this screen if I want to look at any particular area. Like this.

Jamie

Oh. Where are all these rigs people talk about?

Well, they're out at sea, of course, but that plan over there shows you the relative position of all the rigs under our command.

Victoria

What's the big one in the middle?

Well, that's the central control rig complex, the sort of the nerve centre of the whole thing. The other rigs feed her with gas and she in turn pumps it to us via the main pipeline, see.

Victoria

How awful to have to live out at sea. And lonely.

Oh, I don't know. Mister Robson once spent four years on one of the early rigs without ever going ashore.

Jamie

Aye, that would account for quite a lot.
