The Rise And Rise Of MichaeI Rimmer is comedy and comedy, a quirky skewering of sex, the advertising business, media, poIitics, the clergy, aIe and you name it and featuring a motIey array of talents - we'II name them: BedazzIed and Beyond The Fringe's Peter Cook, Monty Pythonites, John Cleese and Graham Chapman, ever-reIiabIe comedy veterans Denholm EIIiott and Dennis Price, playwright HaroId Pinter and more. At the center of the gleefuI goings-on is Rimmer (Cook), who begins a career at a marketing research firm and manipuIates his way into upward mobility. He gets the girl. He gets the wealth and acclaim. He gets the presidency of EngIand, a position created just for him. You get the laughs. lf offbeat British '60s-era fare is your cuppa, drink up. |
