Apologies.....I've just realised that you got the answer earlier in the thread. Therefore, next time it's my turn to set a question, I'll hand it over to you.

It is indeed Wytch Farm here in our very own Dorset.
Pull up to the Pump and help yourself to the finest fuel of your choice and set your question.

That was the only onshore one I knew the name of offhand - just from the huge publicity it got when it first opened - I had no idea it was actually the largest as well*...!!!
*see what I did there...?!
Right... next question... sticking with the oil theme, who played JR Ewing's equally deviously minded PA in Dallas?

You don't mean the one who shot him - Mary Crosby do you?

No, her character Kristin Shepard was Sue Ellen's sister...

But I thought nobody shot him: it was all just a bad dream in a comatose brain

That was Bobby Ewing being run over... Funny, though, how everything else that happened in that year wasn't part of the dream!!

That's the correct character... but it's the actress's name I'm looking for...
Sorry Peter, I'm sure it was Debroah Renyard or similar.

Google suggests there were three different actors who played his secretary - Deborah Rennard, Tina Louise and Meg Gallagher.

Reg Varney.

Yes, but Sly was the longest serving one, played by Rennard, and the one most aligned to JR's own way of thinking and acting.
Well that didnt last long, you are correct. He used it on 25th June 1967.
Yourn turn to ask the next question......

Tonight? (Daily - Monday to Friday - early evening current affairs programme hosted by Cliff Michelmore, with roving reporter Fyfe Robertson)..... superseded about ten years later by Nationwide.
