I saw this film in a local film club and loved it. It is the story of a market research person (Peter Cook / Michael Rimmer) who comes from nowhere and proceeds to become Prime minister and in the end Dictator of the UK.
He even selects his bride by market research and pushes the existing PM from an Oil platform in order to take his job.
In the end he rules by survey until people get fed up and in a final survey decide to leave all the decisions to Rimmer.
A lot of the scenes were filmed at Brunel University (as was Clockwork Orange and numerous TV episodes ie Avengers, Sweeney due to its proximity (Uxbridge) to the studios.
If you get a chance see it, and tell me where to get a copy!!
