The premise
Here’s the bit.
A television presenter gathers Marx, Lenin, Che Guevara and Mao for what appears to be a momentous political discussion.

Marx gets a chance to win a lounge suite by tackling questions about revolutionary theory, until one final football question puts the prize out of reach.
