Synopsis:
VOTE 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 company 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.
