I think we'd all kill for Jim Hacker to be the current British PM right now.

"It's one of the seven Dudley sins," awesome line!

I want a clear Conscience A clear conscience? Yes! When did you develop this taste for luxuries? 9:20 I’m dead 😂

Each episode is a sculptured work of art.

Best sit com ever written, and absolutely undertaken by 3 of the best actors of that time. Priceless

"It's one of the seven Dudley sins" LOL

The writing is genius. Absolutely wonderful, but operating at a higher level than we have been seeing in the past couple of months in Whitehall.

Bernard's witty quips are a delight altogether.!

Some golden exchanges here ! The one about who reads each newspaper always gets me.

One of the finest comedies of all time.

A timeless classic. Could have been written yesterday!

Jim Hacker may very well be the 3rd best PM the UK has had since 1979.

RIP Paul Eddington-loved you in Robin Hood,The Good Life,Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister!!

One of the best parts of this show (+ predecessor) is how Jim starts raw but slowly learns how to grapple with the civil service and sometimes wins

Bernard : Lossiemouth-is that a place? Humphrey: What did you think it was? Bernard : A dog food! Brilliant😂

Jeezo, with all the chaos that’s going on in 10 Downing St just now, this seems tame. Writers Jay and Lynn couldn’t come up with the carnage that’s happening now.

The most incompetent Hacker moments seem like genius political strategy when compared to the current 10 Downing Street occupants

A masterclass in comedy and comedic writing. Will probably never be bettered

Genius writing which has never been beaten. So sad that there is nothing of this quality any more.

Being trained by Hacker the master of press relations and Humphrey the master of administration, Bernard is set to become one of the most terrifying cabinet secretary!

Lovely intricacy of production where Humphrey pauses so believably in his sentence so Bernard shutting the door doesn’t drown out the dialogue ❤ 26:20

Rishi the unexpected PM and Jim Hacker. Simon Case in real life is Humphrey and Bernard Woolley! 😂

"When did you develop a taste for luxuries?"

The best television we ever made, and still as amusing as ever. Such good entertainment.

The world needs this type of comedy today more than ever!

I want to have a clear conscience... When did you acquire this tase for luxuries?😂

How about the readers: The Daily Mirror - read by those who think they run the country The Guardian - read by those who think they ought to run the country The Times - read by those who do run the country Daily Mail - read by the wives of the people who run the country Financial Times - read by those who own the country The Morning Star - read by those who think the country should be run by another country The Daily Telegraph - read by those who think the country is being run by another country. Classic!!!

1st class comedy & I never tire of it!

I sometimes wonder if Fowlds’ verbal acrobatics are under appreciated 🤔❤️

19:36 Nicholas Courtney! The Brig!

I love how Sir Humphrey was so good at his job of manipulating elected officials that he was knighted outside hte show as well.

"Afterall it is necessary to get behind someone before you can stab him in the back"

There should be a blu ray release of Yes minister if the masters allow it. The show is too good.

Greatest sit com ever. Esp on the writing/wit front.

Sir Humphrey is so great.

Love that yes minister was brought up in rhe covid inquiry. 😃

Oh, we're currently on long leave from work.. . Little jack horner, Sat in a corner, Eating his Christmas pie.. He pulled out a plum, And said, "what a good boy am I.. ".. . 😁😇.. .

Absolutely fantastic 👌👌👌

No wonder it was Thatcher's favourite programme.

I wonder what conversation did Liz have with the Chief Whip.

Timeless comedy

feels like i'm watching one of those magic reveal videos.

for those who wonder: "No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manor of thine own Or of thine friend's were. Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee."

Top 3 on my favourite list! 😊

love this so clever, could almost be now.

Nowadays the PM thinking themselves above the law is just standard

16:15: yes, the English speaking nations can be said to include the US. 🤣

Please please upload full episodes of yes minister & yes prime minister

Bernhard on the phone is brutally funny 😂

comedy gold🤣😂

Imagine Sir Humphrey having to deal with David Lammy or Angela Raynor.

Isnt the Police Chief from Doctor Who? Brigadier something ...

😂😂😂🙌This is spot on for the England now

Well considering that lately the Brits have changed PM's more often than most bachelors change their underwear...

26:08 you are welcome

Newspaper can ask from offices about what are the projects currently active with finance or liquidity with milestone and updates accordingly.

I only wish you would remove that annoying "subscribe" sign that pops up every so and so minutes..

It is a fundamental principle of the British constitution that the government must retain the confidence of the legislature, as it is not possible for a government to operate effectively without the support of the majority of the people's representatives.[3] At the national level, this means that the UK government (the cabinet) must retain the confidence of a majority in the House of Commons. It is possible for a vote of no confidence to succeed where there is a minority government or a small majority, or """where there are internal party splits leading to some members of the ruling party voting against its leaders"" . Where there is a minority government, the government may seek agreements or pacts with other parties in order to prevail in the vote and remain in office. Clearly the party is split, they didn't even have a proper vote on their new leader, Rishi secured his majority throug a deal with Suella Braverman. There is a criminal cartel at the heart of the tory party and british polotics. The Cartel have been playing a trick on us like a tired, lame Magician. We can see how the trick is done, we know how the tricks been done before, we know you're doing it again now, and wer're not going to agree again to double or quits. This is beyond ridicule, this is serious, this is a domestic threat to our democracy. There is no confidence in this government.

too many ads

This is what is running our country. " good luck"

Ironically, Nigel Hawthorne was gay and was living with his partner at the time of this show.

Hilarous!

Its all a bit prescient given the last few months of UK politics.

Say what you like, at least they are competent.

NICE TO HAVE THE DATE OF THE FIRST SHOW ON TV. .... 198.......?

In 1985 the French smuggled explosives into New Zealand and blew up an undefended boat (The Rainbow Warrior). After all that we did for them in the first and second world wars. That was not a comedy.

Be consious of breakfast. Mm make this clear.

The anawers cannot be slaved . The repoata is to prevwnt autwiz and it ia not the rpimw minetwes

Timeless genius.

Great American TV Show. GOD Bless America

A great British sitcom, or a documentary on British politics?

Why am I watching ads on a BBC channel? I pay my licence fee. This channel shouldn't have any ads.
