Something I was linked to earler and spent the last 45 minutes watching - very good, even if you are not interested in oil.
It has humour and knowledge.
What surprised me was how World War 1 was NOT started by the assassination of a nobody, but by the British invasion of Iraq. (about 4 minutes into part 2)
