Fresh-faced young Michael Rimmer worms his way into an opinion poll company and is soon running the place. He uses this as a springboard to get into politics and in the mini-skirted flared-trousered world of 1970 Britain starts to rise through the Tory ranks.

Mrs. Ferret:
Have you been fired?
Ferret:
[brushing it off] Fired?
[laughs]
Ferret:
Hahaha! Fired? Hahahaha
[more nervous now]
Mrs. Ferret:
Then why is the car for sale?
[we see the car through the house window; in the side window there is a crudely written sign saying FORSALE]
Ferret:
Oh that? That's a mistake. That's one of Rimmer's cockups. That should read Fors Ale. A new beer we're advertising.
[as giving a slogan]
Ferret:
Fors Ale - keeps you hearty and hale.
Mrs. Ferret:
Well I've never heard of it.
Ferret:
And you may never! Very hush hush.
With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
