The History of Oil

[Emperor Pan I]

If you have 45 minutes to spare, watch.

Stand up comedian 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 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. 45:43 RT

If you like Family guy, I don't expect you to challenge yourself to a stimulating 45 minutes where you should think about the social and political world around you.

You can stick to slapstick and fart jokes.
