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, Dad's Army) and sexy secretary Tanya (Valerie Leon, Carry On). Rimmer rises through the ranks of the agency before turning to politics and rising through the ranks via chicanery and manipulation.

One of the greatest. Suppressed by the people who the film makes fun of.

This was a classic from 1970.

Rimmer came to power eventually.

By that time he'd changed his name to Tony Blair.

no wonder that Cook was devastated by the success of Dudley Moore in Hollywood
