What would happen if the world's oil supply dried up overnight? 2013: Oil No More is a doco-drama based on the idea that oil companies, having vastly overstated their oil reserves to keep their value high, are faced with a wave of terrorist attacks aimed at jeopardising oil supplies to the West. Reluctantly, they have to own up with the fact there's only two years of supply left. Stockbroker Paul, having invested 90% of his company's shares in oil, watches with glee as the price of petrol skyrockets, until his professional and personal life are directly affected as a disastrous recession takes hold of the oil-dependent world.

My conspiracy theory brain just cant stop - noticed the timeslot and wondered how many would actually get to watch it, given so many will be having a very early beddie-bize that night ahead of their next day 4am rise and shine for a Anzac Dawn Service? I'll watch it - one day I'll get a reliable DVD recorder!
Old soldiers don't need to watch a telly docco to know this sort of stuff, mate. It's pretty easy to put two and two together... "Well, if it were going to last forever, then why do they keep sending us to fight over it?" Plus soldiers have lots of experience of being lied to about where they're going and what for. Returned servicemen don't need to watch, just the lifelong civvies who nodded along with the telly going, "yeah, definitely those WMD, and that terror stuff, that's why we're going, definitely."
Hey jim bob not all of us beleive in the weapons of mass destruction story,let alone this Terrorist Bullshit........ Life is all a conspiracy ..in theory... They conspire to make us beleive everthing they tell us...... All the Media ..with maybe a few exceptions is government controlled,or government system backed..... Humans are (well most are) Dumb asses who dont know there asses from their brains unless someone informs them...
