 Review
Comedy set in the last days before nuclear destruction is unleashed upon the Earth.

Johnny Cyclops is trying to get re-elected while the deposed Shah of Iran is trying to flee to England, driven by his blindfolded lackey, Abdab ("I am not worth to look upon your holy countenance master"). Unfortunately he is stopped from entering the country by the newly elected Labour party, whose Prime Minister Kevin Pork confides to his colleagues that he is really Superman.

Cyclops has to placate the many clones of the Russian Permier while his advisor, The Deacon, crucifies students on the White House lawn.

While all this is happening, Lacrobat has stolen a Quark bomb and is taking it to the Middle East. Wear your mushroom with pride.

Much funnier than the movie. Alexei Sayle is superb as the crazy Commisar Solzhenitsyn. Rik Mayall gives a brief but memorable appearance as Biff, the man brought in to write the Johnny Cyclops campaign song. Barry Morse showed he had an amazing comic timing as Johnny Cyclops. His facial reactions are some of the best I've seen in a comedy show.
