The Amazon Prime show about a remote oil rig has supernatural overtones that will give an extra chill to long winter nights. Shot entirely in Scotland, the drama's provided a welcome boost to the Scottish TV industry.
Brought up in Greenock in Scotland's west central lowlands, the actor's own father worked on oil rigs, and friends of his still do.He told Sky News:"It was lovely to lean on them because being an actor, it can feel otherworldly to people who are not in the industry, so it was nice to lean on them and ask them about different things.
"So I think that's what David's [Macpherson - the show's creator] script does really well, it's high octane, it's enjoyable, and then I mean, climate change is here, it's not up for debate and we should be very proud of what we achieved in the North Sea in terms of the feats of engineering, and being Scottish it's a part of our heritage we should cherish and it's still got a role to play going forward, but that role is getting greatly reduced.
"The world's changing and we need to evolve with it - Mark Bonner's got that wonderful line - 'you keep punching holes in the earth, eventually it's going to punch back'."Hampshire says she was keen to be involved in the show because she wanted to play the scientist Rose in the hope she would become more like her.
"I just instantly felt like these are my people in a way - coz I'm Canadian and we are very different from Americans - there is really this connection, I feel, with UK actors and Scottish actors and people that we can make fun of ourselves.
