I've watched a fair few peak oil/climate change docs over the last few years, but she managed to keep the information really informative and simple whilst also pressing the fact there isn't much time left for things to change. As Chris Vernon said on the oildrum website, it's quite a step-change that the BBC Documentary unit allowed this to be broadcast (and any powers that be) - perhaps people are finally coming to accept that a "peak" or something like it is imminent and the message needs to start getting out (without mass panic)....
