Set in Durban at the Transworld Oil Conference and packed with the flair, fun and parody of the best TV mini-series of the 90s, this is comedy that will have you laughing out loud.\u003cbr\u003eThe aristocratic Foxwell Cravate, played by radio legend \u003cb\u003eMartin Jarvis\u003c\/b\u003e, and American tycoon Max Pomeroy, played by \u003cb\u003eMac McDonald\u003c\/b\u003e, were once the closest of friends. However, the two have become such bitter rivals their actions could threaten the human race. What could possibly have destroyed their friendship and, potentially, the world?\u003cbr\u003eThe story begins when Prince Saudi hopes that his oil deal will bring peace to the civilised world. What could possibly go wrong? Well, Cravate and Pomeroy's bitter rivalry could mess things up for a start. Beginning with a vow to end all vows, the Oil Conference doesn't go quite to plan and Foxwell and Max face execution by ritual disembowelment. Will Lady Arabella's wiles coax Prince Saudi into making a last-minute reprieve? There is a glimmer of hope when a compromising photo of Prince Saudi and Lady Arabella materialises. However, it's in the hands of the infamous Charles de Vere of the Foreign Office…\u003cbr\u003eWritten by long time collaborators Ian Hislop (\u003ci\u003eHave I Got New For You\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSpitting Image\u003c\/i\u003e) and Nick Newman (\u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePunch\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSpectator\u003c\/i\u003e cartoonist), this pitch perfect parody of the works of Jeffrey Archer, is a must listen.
