Yes, Minister

Started from S1E1 now, on Yesterday.

A favourite of mine.
I gave my son the books during his "A" levels.
I firmly believe that all kids should be made to watch Yes, Minister / Prime Minister before being permitted to cast a vote.

I happened to re-watch all episodes of YM and YPM a few months ago; it's amazing how relevant the topics in them are, even today.

It is brilliant. I love to revisit it when I think of it

Yes, Prime Minister S1E1 aired last night, the one about polaris and trident...so sharp.

[Halb]

S1E1, started yesterday.

Sad to see one of the writers (Anthony Jay) passed away a few days ago

[tumble dryer]

I've just caught a few episodes over the past few days; timeless.

Still so current and a pleasure to indulge in.

Definitely, it's difficult to imagine a better thumbnail sketch of british bureaucracy.

The episode, Power to the People, still stands out as a great way to rehaul British democracy.
