History of Oil
Robert Newman gets to grips with the wars and politics
of the last hundred years - but rather than adhering to the
history we were fed at ... all » school,
the places oil centre stage as the cause of all commotion.
This innovative history programme is based around Robert Newman's
stand-up act and supported by resourceful archive sequences and
stills with satirical impersonations of historical figures from
Mayan priests to Archduke Ferdinand.
Quirky details such as a bicycle powered street lamp on the stage
brings home the pertinent question of just how we are going to
survive when the world's oil supplies are finally exhausted
