I saw this on discovery channel, how they built it and how they moved it. It is the most fascinating built structure I have ever seen. I was so amazed of this story, everyone needs to see and hear about it. "BREATHTAKING"

I saw the same show many years ago on Discovery and would love to buy it on DVD. I've been looking for it everywhere without finding it, including the Discovery web site. If anyone can tell me how I can get it, that would be fantastic.

Like you others, this oilrig has captured my imagination for years. I first saw it on an American TV show called "How'd they build that?" (or something). I managed to tape it, but have since lost the tape and would love to get a proper documentary programme on it to show a high school Engineering studies/Design and Technology class.

Impressive engineering job indeed. And at 10th anniversary, another great event pointed it. The Katie Melua's Concert Under The Sea took place in one of rig's feet, at 303 m under the sea level. I reccommend this show as well. Is at least as good as the bulding of the rig (the movie).

I would love to find a DVD of this. I saw it with my father many years ago and would love to buy him the DVD for Christmas. I have looked for years with no sucess. Anybody let me know if you have ever found it.

After searching for "Troll" through PBS, NOVA, and others, funny I end up a site looking for the exact same thing. Has anyone found a copy of the movie. I could use this in a concrete class I teach.

The programme you are looking for could be 'RICHARD HAMMOND'S ENGINEERING CONNECTIONS - SUPER RIG'
Shown in the UK on National Geographic channel @ 5:00 p.m. 22/12/2008. Not sure whether it is available on DVD.

Thanks John, well spotted. I don't think it is the same program, but worth a watch anyway. Here's a version from YouTube.

Troll - A programme of imaginative mechanical and structural engineering. How do I see it again?

I too was transfixed by the documentary about building and moving Troll. Any help locating it would be appreciated. I've keep an eye out for it for years. Thanks.
