Robert Newman's History of Oil

8.1 | en | Action

Stand-up comedian Robert Newman gets to grips with the wars and politics of the last hundred years, from WWI through to the 2003 invasion of Iraq; but rather than adhering to the history we were fed at school, this show 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.

Reviews

mark-evison It constantly amazes me how no-one in the mainstream media mentions the true reason for the wars the West fights, so it was a revelation when Rob shouted out.Even supposedly 'liberal' and otherwise intelligent media types always always skate around the issue... are they just scared of not waking up in some woods one day if they dare mention the unmentionable? Have you seen the film 'Festen'? It reminds me very much of that attitude of not speaking, as well as thoughts of 'thought crime'.I think this is a great piece of documentary: Well-researched, historically factual, with more depth, truth and knowledge than you'll ever get from the news.Watch it, and judge for yourself - then judge the leaders.
