The Rise And Rise Of Michael Rimmer

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, creating saucy marketing campaigns for graham Chapman, before turning the firm into a successful polling compnay and moving into politics. 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.
