A New Era...
Series following the Falkland Islands' community. The Texans come to town to update the islanders on the oil exploration going on offshore.
The Texans come to town to update the islanders on the oil exploration going on offshore. In 1998, Falkland islanders were told that there are huge deposits of oil in the waters surrounding the islands. Whilst many islanders are excited about the possible benefits oil could bring, others are concerned about the changes.
Resident marine biologist Megan Tierney is pioneering some new research using a tracking system and sets out to catch some gentoo penguins so that she can find out where they go to feed during the winter.
Meanwhile, the islanders are practising their dance steps for the annual May Ball. It is a rite of passage for Stanley teenagers and everyone wants to look their best for the big night.
And there is a new army padre on the islands and he's got a sidekick. Padre Ian Brown and puppet grandpa do their best to entertain the troops and local schoolchildren.
