Love this show.
Gold have started them again from the beginning. In the first few episodes.
In the first few episodes we've had slashing public sector jobs, introducing large cuts, the compassionate (big) society and something else which I can't quite recall now but is also currently relevant.
Plus ça change, c'est la même chose eh?

Bought the complete 'Yes, Minister' and 'Yes, Prime Minister' box set from Amazon for about £15 a few weeks ago - brilliant stuff, with most of the issues still relevant today. Only watched three series so far, but 'The Moral Dimension' (booze-up on the trip to a dry Arab nation) is the stand-out one so far - apparently this was closer to reality than a lot of people care to admit!
ks!The unopened hospital, with 500 staff running it, is brilliant
"It's the most efficient hospital in the country"
"But there are NO patients"
"A great new surgical theatre with the latest equipment"
"But there are NO patients"
"Which means less wear on the equipment so they lasts longer"
YM/YPM is the best ever sitcom IMO, bought all the DVD many years ago, they don't date at all (obviously the camera/pic production values are from 25/30 years ago but the storylines could be from yesterday)

That's the best bit. What made it funnier was that could have been written aboot what Cameron is doing.I also like the fact that it is apolitical. The real opposition is the civil service.
Bone headed unions, conniving civil servants, hopeless politicians, greedy businessmen and grasping reporters

One of my favourite exchanges was when the PM tries to be as verbose as Sir Humphrey, and wants to write 'Balls" on a paper and send back. So writes "Round Objects"
Sir Humphrey writes back "Who is Round? and what does he object to?"
I recently went to the stage version of YPM, same writers and the situation wass bought upto date. It was excellent, ok a lot of the same jokes were updated too, but it showed how well the original was written.

I got the boxset of this last year and am currently going through it for the third time. It is so sharp and, apart from the suits, you would imagine it was being made today.
There is currently a live show touring the country that I belive was penned by the original writers, just need to find someone to with.
