The Troubleshooters(1965)

The Troubleshooters is a British television series that aired on the BBC from 1965 to 1972. Created by John Elliot, the show follows the operations of Mogul, a fictional international oil company navigating corporate intrigue and industrial crises. Early episodes focus on internal power struggles within the organisation, including cases of industrial espionage, embezzlement, and dangerous negligence threatening workers on North Sea oil rigs. The series captures the high-stakes world of mid-century petroleum operations, blending workplace drama with technical realism. The Troubleshooters evolved alongside television technology itself, transitioning from black and white to colour broadcasts during its seven-year run, reflecting the era's rapid modernisation in both industry and media.
