BBC Scotland Investigates

Truth, Lies, Oil and Scotland (2008x5)

Air date: Jun 04, 2008

This landmark film shows how the modern history of Scotland is intrinsically linked to the black gold being pumped out of the North Sea. BBC Scotland News business reporter Hayley Millar puts forward the theory that you cannot understand the last 40 years of Scotland's past, its present and its future without understanding oil. And vital to understanding oil is separating the myths from the facts and the truth from the lies that surround possibly the most important natural resource in the world.
