The mysterious Michael Rimmer (Peter Cook) appears at a small advertising agency and soon takes over from the hapless employees, including the bumbling Pumer (John Cleese,) skiving boss Ferrett (Arthur Lowe) and sexy secretary Tanya (Valerie Leon). Rimmer rises through the ranks of the agency and soon move into politics, acting as a spin doctor for the leader of the Tory opposition.

With chicanery, manipulation, and relentless opinion polls, the Machiavellian Rimmer becomes MP for Budleigh Moor and acquires a trophy wife before rapidly working his way up, with charismatic deception, to even greater heights.

 Michael Rimmer

Largely ignored at the time. This film is more relevant today than it ever was. What was once "out there" comedy is now the everyday actuality of British politics as politicians become increasingly divorced from reality and interest themselves in enriching themselves and their friends....at any price.

 Peter Cook in genius mode

Hilarious satire which seems ultra-relevant in today's political climate.
You must see this film.
Peter Cook and Arthur Lowe in incredible form.

 Most telling movie

As the title suggests I find this movie fairly instructive as to what our politicians, all parties, get up to.
I thoroughly reccommend it if only for Peter Cook's blinding performance.
