Adonis Cnut (Rik Mayall) is the cleverest man in Britain. He is paid vast amounts of money for his views, consulted by the government and is irresistible to women. However, he is bored. To find adventure he decides to join the shadowy organisation of The Council for International Progress which controls everything going on in the world. He also pursues the only woman that shows no interest in him, Dr Hannah Awkward (Emily Bruni). Accompanied by his manservant Albumen (Michael Maloney) the pair endure many challenges in the episodes: ‘Get Rich Quick’, ‘Prepare to Meteor Maker’, ‘Might as Well Face It, You’re Addicted to Fudge’, ‘Double First’, ‘The Unhappy Eater’ and ‘Just a Minute’.
