You Want It We've Got It (1974x1)

Air date: Jan 15, 1974

The Shetland Islands are in the middle of a bigger oilfield than Texas. So in a world thirsty for oil, the islanders' future has been taken out of their hands. The outside world will come to these far-north islands for Shetland oil. But must it take away Shetland's way of life in the by-going? Magnus Magnusson found people who feared that things would change for the worse. He also found a quiet determination to make oil work for Shetland-a problem that many parts of Britain will have to face in the years ahead.
