Product Description
Edgy, ecological TV thriller from the same stable that made 'Life on Mars' and 'Spooks'. This highly topical drama focuses on the lives of two friends in the oil industry, whose relationship is tested to the full by increasing environmental concerns and the greed of big business. When the head of Arrow Oil retires unexpectedly, Tom McConnell (Rupert Penry-Jones) is asked to step up, with the backing of best friend Mack (Bradley Whitford). Having had a relatively easy ride thus far, Tom suddenly finds himself having to deal with a range of threatening situations, from oil workers in Saudi Arabia being murdered, to getting served with a writ for environmental damages by the Arctic Inuit. As his problems worsen and his personal and professional lives collide, a climate change conference forces him to raise doubts about Mack's loyalty, especially when claims surface regarding Arrow's complicity in the Saudi murders.
Synopsis
The compelling drama written by Slumdog Millionaire screenwriter Simon Beaufoy
.
Burn Up is a high-stakes conspiracy thriller in which two friends--power players in the international oil industry--face a series of violent events and shocking revelations that could tear apart their friendship, their business, even civilization as we know it. Rupert Penry-Jones plays Tom McConnell, an up-and-coming oilman whose best friend Mack (Bradley Whitford) calls the shots as Washington’s top oil lobbyist. When environmental activist Holly, played by Neve Campbell, infiltrates Tom’s company, she opens Tom’s eyes to a world where the end may be near, and both sides--those fighting climate change and those determined to get rich off the status quo--are willing to kill and be killed. Tom, Mack, and Holly must all decide where their loyalties lie, and how far they are willing to go in order to win.
Burn Up takes viewers from the oil fields of Saudi Arabia, to the oil mansions of London; from Arctic villages where thawing gases burst into flame, to the UN convention where the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Burn Up delivers an eviscerating tale of the last great game, where the earth is at stake, and time is running out.

The premise of this game is simple to understand. I purchased it mainly to be a relaxing solo play game but it works equally well with others. Very satisfied with the purchase.
A slight variant on the traditional Victor von Doom figure, this Monster Hunters version is strikingly detailed and very tentacular! It's also currently available at an absolute bargain price.
One of the must have for your Skyrim board game collection. Especially if you are a collector of Skyrim series.

Not the easiest record to source on vinyl but a real gem, received promptly, well packaged and in perfect condition.
Justin Adams is one of the unsung heroes among UK guitarists and cross-cultural ambassadors, committed to working with great musicians across West Africa, the Maghreb and southern Europe. On this record he joins the remarkable Mauro Durante of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino to showcase a UK/Puglia blend with a sharp political edge. The title track Still Moving bears witness to the trauma of refugees seeking shelter that few here can imagine and too few even care to think about.
Full credit to Justin Adams, a wonderful musician with a true grasp of what solidarity means. His world view crosses musical borders and calls for a better future for all humanity.
