what was the inspiration behind the show?
After watching the film "there will be blood" i was captivated by the history behind oil drilling and after scouring the internet i found that there were very few shows or films that surround the subject of old fashioned oil drilling.
what competition is there
As previously mentioned there are essential no TV show that explore the same themes and story as my show, aside from the show Dallas which ended a few years ago. Competition from other dramas on BBC channels include Our World War, Our Girl and Around The World In 80 Days
how does it suite the target audience
After the media department sent out a survey we found that there was a fair amount of interest in dramas and historical dramas. whilst the numbers aren't as high as comedy or action i feel there is still enough interest in order to justify the creation of my TV show
are there any budgetary problems that could arise?
The vast majority of my TV show will be filmed in the countryside, This is to help keep the costs down and allow the budget the stretch to other important areas. there will be one episode that i can see being very costly and its the episode that explores James' backstory. the majority of the episode is set during the First World War and obviously the location has to reflect this. Therefor a vast area of land will need to be cordoned off and transformed into a series of trench networks filled with barbed wire, 2 pillboxes and a crater where James and Alfred's son will be. Other then that episode I foresee that the remaining episodes will be relatively cheap both in terms of resources and funds.
