Win cult Peter Cook DVD
The little-seen Peter Cook satire, The Rise And Rise Of Michael Rimmer, is released on DVD for the first time on Monday – and we have six copies to give away.The film, which also stars John Cleese, has been acclaimed as a ‘brilliantly observant satire of Seventies British politics’ and is a sought-after rarity among Cook fans.
Written by Cook and Cleese, plus Graham Chapman and Kevin Billington, the 1970 film also includes a rare acting appearance buy playwright Harold Pinter.
The plot concerns the ruthlessly ambitious Michael Rimmer (Cook) manipulating, cheating and murdering his way to dictatorial power, with a ‘charisma-heavy’, ‘policy-light’ style of leadership.
It will be released by Digital Classics, priced £14.99, but to stand a chance of winning a copy, just answer the following question by July 1, when we will choose the winners at random from all correct answers received. Bulk entrants from mailing services will be disqualified. Entries accepted from UK and Ireland only.
