There was this one-off British TV special I saw in the 1980?s.

It was called "How to Pick Up Girls, Win Arguments, and
Influence People."

The first segment showed a guy in a limousine, and the narrator
mentioned how you should make sure you know the chauffeur?s name
before you take a passenger.

The second segment showed an argument between two businessmen, which
was interspersed with a fencing bout.

The third segment mentioned that when making speeches you should make
demands in groups of three, and showed a clip of a speech by Hitler to
illustrate this.

Anyone know about this special and how I can get a copy?

I'm pretty sure what your refering to is an episode of the BBC science
series QED. If memory serves me right this episodes format was one of
a disembodied voice giving advice to a "man in the street" character
(possibly played by Bill Oddie but I can't be sure) on how to get on
in life. The suggestion was that the voice was the devil tempting him
into using the techniques to gain power over every one around him.
