Script : John Elliot
Cast : Geoffrey Keen (Brian Stead), Ray Barrett (Peter Thornton), Philip Latham (Willy Izard), Prudence Drage (Secretary), Margaret Ward (Mildred Millway), Ron Welling (Sparks), Ray McAnally (Bruce Millway), Ray Lonnen (Foster), Claire Nielson (Mrs Kennett), Peter Cartwright (Kenneth), Walter Sparrow (Mason), Windsor Davies (Davies), Philip Voss (Bosun) and Declan Mulholland (Fireman).
Synopsis : Brian Stead's back in his haven, all's right with the world. But his quiet trip to the Caribbean on a Mogul supertanker produces unexpected developments.
Radio Times publicity :14 May 1970 - The Return Of A Winner: The Troubleshooters are back, and Brian Stead with them. At the end of the last series it looked as though he might not make it. He'd had a heart attack (his third since the programme started five years ago) and on top of that Alec Stewart made his bid for the Mogul managing directorship - the climax of a feud between them which began three series ago in an episode called "There's Always A Next Time". For Stead that has proved true. As followers of the Mogul saga will have already guessed from the latest publicity photograph (see this week's cover), it was Alec Stewart (Robert Hardy) who lost out: he's spending, at Robert Hardy's own request, the present series in "exile" in the Caribbean. Peter Thornton (Ray Barrett), sacked from the board and the company by Stead just before his illness, is now established as troubleshooter-in-chief - though he still hasn't regained his directorship. Willy Izard (Philip Latham), at one time a fairly minor Mogul executive, is now Stead's right-hand man - and could well be in line for still greater things. All three of these men look forward to an energetic time this series. The Troubleshooters' creator, author John Elliot, promises that the next seventeen episodes "will have a lot of action in them". Already the team have been filming in Africa and in the West Indies. Stead launches the first episode with a tanker trip that turns out to be more of a task than be expected, Izard is due for a nasty brush with missionairies in Africa. And Thornton - well he's always in trouble of one sort of another. John Elliot has written a book about how the series started. He has called it Mogul - Making a Myth. Just how real that myth has become was demonstrated by Geoffrey Keen's experience at a cocktail party for oilmen. One of the professionals came up to him and said - "You're Stead aren't you? How's business at Mogul?". Radio Times will take a closer look at The Troubleshooters in three weeks' time, explaining how Mogul fiction has foreshadowed fact.

Radio Times publicity : June 4, 1970 - When Mogul Struck North Sea Oil Two Months Before Anyone Else You Sensed This Was Something More Than An Adventure Series: Bob Smyth investigates the series that has created a television legend. A "format note" for an early Troubleshooters series claimed, in impressive prose, that "oilmen have formed themselves into the most romantic community of our time … They sustain governments, dominate the Exchange, change the face of the earth and keep most of the human race on the move. The oil king is all-powerful and hedged about with the mystery of secret correspondence and private trans-continental telephone calls, and by the ceremony of his secretaries and advisers: he is the centre of a new Arthurian legend of the boardroom round table". People actually working in the industry are less convinced of their job's romantic possibilities, but in television terms The Troubleshooters has been impressively successful in creating a small-screen legend out of boardroom manoeuvrings and oily adventures in foreign lands. We've seen Mogul's globe-trotting executives facing trouble in Hong Kong, Venezuela, Algeria, the Arctic, Fiji, and most other places as well. Brian Stead, Willy Izard and Peter Thornton are solidly established as mini-moguls in control of an international empire. From the brash opening music to the final credit titles each episode moves with a distinctive pace and panache. Even the programme's production staff at the Television Centre wear cuff-links grandiosely monogrammed with the Mogul-style M. Mogul's prestige was assured right from the original episode when it struck oil in the North Sea two months before the first genuine strike - and the script had been written several months previously. Since then they've come up with other impressive coincidences - or, to be more respectful, inspired predictions - though John Elliot, who created the whole Mogul idea, modestly confesses: "A lot of big business is fairly predictable". Michael Glynn, associate producer, comments: "We'd be millionaires if we could predict correctly. It's luck laced with a desire for realism". Anthony Read, script editor when the programme started, now its producer, suggests in addition that it's the documentary background of the writers that explains their accuracy. He himself was a journalist and industrial editor, and has written several scripts for the programme. John Elliot resigned from his job in the BBC's drama department to do two years' initial research on the background of the oilmen's world. The number two script-writer, Canadian-born John Lucarotti, was very familiar with international big business operations before he joined the Mogul team. "I'm grateful to The Troubleshooters," says Lucarotti, "because it's presented me with the opportunity of writing twenty-seven separate plays. They may be set inside Mogul, but nearly all of them are really about ideas I've been interested in, or are extensions of situations I've been involved in" He mentions as illustrations an episode called "Some Mud Is Bound To Stick" in which Alec Stewart (who's now, sadly, out of the series) was arrested at Algiers airport. "The first ten minutes of the programme happened to me exactly as it showed. I'd been to a conference as a guest of the government, but when I got to the bureau de change - you have to convert all your currency before you leave - they said I'd spent too little and must have brought some undeclared cash in with me when I came. I was taken by the police into a small room, was put against a wall, had a machine gun thrust in my ribs, was told to take my trousers down, and was altogether humiliated. I only got out of there at all because the Air France pilot came in swearing blue murder and rescued me". John Elliot in turn recalled the occasion he'd invented a way of smuggling drugs into this country. His idea involved the "cores", or bore-hole samples, sent to UK labs from overseas drilling sites. His villains were hollowing out the cores and packing the dope inside. He pumped an oil company specialist for technical details about cores - without telling him why - and sent him a courtesy copy of the finished scrupt with an apology for "the far-fetched theme" Immediately he received it the specialist was on the telephone demanding: "How did you know about it? Who told you?". "It really had happened to that very company," says Elliot. Well-researched story-lines are one thing, but translating them to the screen is more difficult when the plot locations are Venezuela one week, India the next, and the West Indies the week after that. The team does a lot of traveling, but the stories' impact relies mainly on a cunning sleight of hand. Film producer Richard Attenborough watched a spectacular Alaskan episode called "They've More Than Their Assets Frozen", then telephoned his brother David at the BBC to ask how large the programme's budget had been. David Attenborough visited the Troubleshooters' office in person to find out, only to learn that most of the outdoor "Alaskan" sequences had been filmed in a gravel pit near Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. The present series is the first in colour, which creates more problems but also, according to John Elliot, "means it will look altogether more romantic. This year it's going very much back to the rig, away from the boardroom-and-bedroom scene. It's becoming, like the industry itself, much more international and more concerned with life out in the field. We want, for example, to move Brian Stead about more, to get him away from his desk. Nowadays far less business is done in an office and much more by flying around. Today in big companies people flip around quite casually". John Lucarotti would agree with that: he lives in Malta and commutes to London as if he were travelling the Brighton-Victoria line. Brian Stead on the other hand doesn't hold with all this "flipping around", nor does Geoffrey Keen who plays him. Told he would be needed in the West Indies, where the team is currently filming, his only reaction was: "Oh, blast!". Keen seems in many ways very much like the fictional Stead. The others talk of him in tones of respect, and though they stress he's very nice really they tend to ask each other what kind of a mood he's in. In his dressing room at the Television Centre shortly before a camera rehearsal he changed into his Stead suit and his eyes no longer seemed tired, but were instead tense with the responsibilities of power. His manner, until then slightly brusque, became the appropriate impatience of Mogul's chief executive with trivialities. A week later at a Shepherd's Bush mission he'd just finished a first run-through, known appropriately as a "stagger" and was more relaxed. In the next-door pub he talked, at once cynically and appreciatively, of the series and his part in it. A uniformly competent actor who can be seen in dozens of televised film revivals ("They depress me!"), he confesses he usually only enjoys a role when he's finished it. "Some of the Stead episodes I've enjoyed because they're particularly interesting, but most of the time it's just bloody hard work". But he protested against the suggestion that Stead was something of a bastard. "I don't think that's true at all," he said, evidently pained. "At least that's certainly not how I try to play him. I think, for instance, he's got quite a sense of humour. He enjoys putting Willy Izard in difficult positions, such as sending him out to Africa, but he sends him in the first place only because he considers he's right for the job. I think he's a fair man. I also think he's a very lonely man. Why he hasn't remarried I don't know, because his wife was killed in an air crash some time ago now. There was one episode where they nearly got me married, but I - or Stead rather - broke it off because he didn't think it would work out". Philip Latham (Willy Izard) also has some feeling for his screen persona, and is just as nice. He mentioned a forthcoming episode in which Izard gets very upset about the consequences of a management survey of Mogul, then continued into a discussion of the hardships in the real-life situation. "I mean, when you've been made redundant at fifty-three what on earth do you do? It can be a very painful experience. I suppose that's what I'm interested in as an actor - making things true, so people will say: "Good heavens, that's me, this happened to me," or alternatively, "This could have happened to me". His favourite episode was "Think Big" in the third series, when he and Brian Stead were marooned in a Scottish guesthouse by a blizzard. "Inevitably we got on each other's nerves, and the thing comes out: how I feel and how he feels. Stead is more tough in his outlook. I suppose he has to be. Izard is more the human side of the business. He's opposed to letting the industry deal with people rather than the other way round". Of the regular lead characters Peter Thornton gets put through more than anyone. During his lurching career at Mogul he's divorced his wife, picked up and lost one regular girlfriend, collected one or two other casuals, once decided to leave the oil business, has been fired and re-hired. And all this on top of his heroic efforts fighting fires, hurricanes, blizzards, sandstorms, snowstorms, and earthquakes. "The part allows me to get out and about a lot," Ray Barrett agrees. In his own film career he;s nearly always played the foot-loose rover, and has a face that is best described as "rugged" though it's not nearly so stark as the cameras - or he - suggest. "I'm an ugly bastard," he says quite happily, "so the part suits me right down to the ground". Since he's successfully made one LP as a singer, and is in the middle of another, and also, says Tony Read, "has quite a fan club who think he's very sexy" he can afford to be self-satirical. "At any rate," observes Philip Latham, "it isn't me who gets to kissing the pretty girls". Other familiar actors have been drafted in for individual episodes: Bernard Cribbins in a comedy called "Driver Of The Year"; Isobel Black as a Mogul PRO (she met, incidentally, her future husband on the show); Suzy Kendall as a pin-up in "Meet Miss Mogul"; David Hemmings as a trendy photographer in the same story (a part he later repeated in Antonioni's film Blow-Up); Ronald Fraser as a returning ex-colonial in "The Dispossessed" (a theme which was developed in a full-scale series); as well as Elizabeth Shepherd, Nigel Stock, Edward Woodward and Judi Dench among others. John Elliot, surveying developments in the hundred and more episodes, points to the introduction of John Lucarotti - who began to write the good strong action stuff in the second series. "The next turning point was when we imported Alec Stewart and David Weir began writing very sophisticated boardroom and bedroom. It became very much more complicated, with a lot of wheeling and dealing. It had a gloss on it and was, well, more intriguing. Then a third point was when David Fisher began last year producing strong character conflicts that were very recognizably 1969 problems. But the sad thing is," he continues, "there's still this snobbery working against series. There's a gap between series and drama, so that the one is supposed to be popular entertainment whereas plays are something else. And of course the distinction inhibits both. People tend to think of series as being just pulp for the masses. They forget that the big audiences can enjoy a good human story in the foreground but also appreciate more sophisticated overtones and undertones. I think we're doing something fairly exciting in bridging the gap, but our job isn't made easier by the distinction between the two. It even affects writers and directors. There are directors who are considered - and consider themselves - specifically play directors, so that it's not all that easy to move around between the two. For writers it's the same, so that someone like John Lucarotti, for example, finds it very difficult to get a play commissioned even though he's doing marvellous drama for the series. Shaun Sutton, BBC Television drama chief, will deny this and cite examples to the contrary, but on the whole they are the exceptions. The advantage of this programme on the other hand is that if you want to write something really wild you can because the strong regular base is already there. Similarly it's easier to make a comment on current affairs - because we're in a sort of court-jester position. You can say anything you like in The Troubleshooters because it's not taken seriously, whereas if we said the same thing in a play, because it's billed as a serious drama, all hell would be let loose". The programme has become popular in one respect. Tony Read mentions that a few years ago oil companies used to woo recruits by stressing the glamour of an oil executive's career. Now, he says, they are having to point out to potential employees that life isn't quite so exciting as it's made out to be in The Troubleshooters. Which is an indirect tribute to the programme's special fascination.
