What is One-Upmanship about?
A quintessentially British comedy-of-manners. Based at the fictional Yeovil College of Lifemanship, Richard Briers plays Stephen Potter and is joined by Peter Jones as the snooty Gatling-Fenn and Frederick Jaeger, complete with monocle, playing Cogg-Willoughby. "The world is divided into two types of people," Potter says, "winners and losers, the one-up and the one-down. He who is not one-up is surely one-down". It blends comedy elements. The series reflects a distinct United Kingdom style and perspective. The story is shaped by its creators, Stephen Potter and Barry Took.
