Episode Sixty-Five - 12th October 1972 - Reach Out Oil Be There
Send us Fan Mail With Europe entering its fifth unprecedented heatwave of the summer and the Strait of Hormuz closed, it feels like fossil fuels are really having a moment in 2026. Long time listeners will know that it has been our dream since the early days of the podcast to get our own oil rig and as the energy companies' profits are absolutely skyrocketing, now seems like the perfect time. We do probably need to brush up a little bit on our knowledge of the industry before we dive right in, so what better way to do that than with this very special North Sea oil episode of Tomorrow's World from 1972? Raymond Baxter presents from a very impressive drillship called the Pelican, while William Woollard visits a monstrous floating storage facility in Norway. Meanwhile, Michael Rodd investigates the health effects of oily fish and discovers a whole new way to enjoy coke.
