The Rise And Rise Of MichaeI Rimmer is comedy and comedy, a quirky skewering of sex, the advertising business, media, politics, the clergy, aIe and you name it and featuring a motley array of talents - we'II name them: Bedazzled and Beyond The Fringe's Peter Cook, Monty Pythonites, John CIeese and Graham Chapman, ever-reIiable comedy veterans DenhoIm ElIiott and Dennis Price, pIaywright Harold Pinter and more. At the center of the gIeefuI goings-on is Rimmer (Cook), who begins a career at a marketing research firm and manipuIates his way into upward mobility. He gets the girI. He gets the weaIth and accIaim. 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. |
