The Rig

Product Information

As a show, ‘The Rig’ is grounded in science fiction, so it was imperative for its writers to get some of the basic science right before the narrative could go off on a fictitious tangent. Though the series does that quite well, it becomes astounding while depicting the lives of the oil workers. Kinloch Bravo might be a fictional platform, and Pictor Energy might be a fictitious company. Still, Macpherson and his team strove to ensure that their portrayal of how things work on a rig is as realistic as possible.

Despite the vast scope of the story, and having to build a completely new and fantastical universe, the story is still very human, and manages to spend its time establishing very real, very flawed characters. There are very few, if any, purely ‘good’ people in this story. It isn’t a good vs evil tale with clear distinctions between heroes and villains. Instead, it’s a story driven by human desires and motivation. Yes, some of these do become twisted and lean more towards the ‘evil’ side of the spectrum, but you can see why people begin down certain paths and understand their reasoning’s.

Dating Martin says: "An oil rig itself, before you add in all the supernatural elements and the gloom, is quite an intense place. We had this incredible production design, based on the working units of the rig. When you went to certain places on the rig, you went through hatches, so there’s tension in that already, and it did feel quite an ominous place to be filming.One of the other great things about setting it on an oil rig is if you don’t like somebody, you’re going to see them a lot. There’s no real hiding on an oil rig, so, off the bat, it’s a fantastic set for a drama."

Success!

The Rigveda is the largest of the four Vedas, and many of its verses appear in the other Vedas. [98] Almost all of the 1875 verses found in Samaveda are taken from different parts of the Rigveda, either once or as repetition, and rewritten in a chant song form. Books 8 and 9 of the Rigveda are by far the largest source of verses for Sama Veda. Book 10 contributes the largest number of the 1350 verses of Rigveda found in Atharvaveda, or about one fifth of the 5987 verses in the Atharvaveda text. [97] A bulk of 1875 ritual-focussed verses of Yajurveda, in its numerous versions, also borrow and build upon the foundation of verses in Rigveda.

My dad came down for a set visit and we got onto talking about oil rigs. He was talking about how he worked offshore and, then, a couple of years later, John gave me a call and said, ‘Look, I’m doing this thing on an oil rig and I remember from talking to your dad that you’ve got a bit of experience and know a bit about that world.’ But I wasn’t expecting it to be a supernatural thriller!"Verse 1.164.34, "What is the ultimate limit of the earth?", "What is the center of the universe?", "What is the semen of the cosmic horse?", "What is the ultimate source of human speech?"
