there were 7 I believe, until that fool Bliar totally screwed the whole thing up and dumbed down the degree system!

Universities both of them brilliant Followed by Blackadder three great English universities Oxford Cambridge and Hull. The reply was definitely Oxford is a complete dump

😂😂😂 one if my favourite quotes

even better is when Sir Humphrey asks Sir Bernard Woolly after he has advised him-“HOW IS YOUR CONSCIENCE?”😂😂😅😂😂.

Select size bed 😢costan faire

Classic line...😂

Some properly hilarious bits in this series 😂

But Paul Eddington should have won the BAFTA at least once. They kept on giving it to "Humphrey,"

It's not a comedy. It's a documentary disguised as a comedy 🤣🤣

sadly, does not go out of date

For sure, gets even better with time. Best humour is based on truth.

Same here...

Me too. Never tire of watching this.

It's absolutely horrifying

You can see him bowing his head to hide the fact that he is trying not to laugh. Brilliant timing

Excellent comedy.

🔴 LIVE: Yes, Prime Minister Best of Series 2 LIVESTREAM! | BBC Comedy Greats 1019am 23.5.23 strange that you cant get decent and well-known actors and actresses to do comedy, these days. perhaps the scripts are just too shit!? as for politics per se - the health service's desire to keep you all under lock and key and have you scrutinized by well-meaning and professional oppos - give me a break!!! - has come another step closer as they, the health service, "strike" to allow governmental institutions to implement such draconian measures. all those guys needed to do was request a pay rise just below the threshold wherein they would be taxed to the hilt and perhaps would have found themselves better off...as it is they're asking the world ie: demanding a large pay rise and will be penalised for it... ie: they wont be any better off than when they began as they'll be taxed to the hilt.

Yeah the French bombed the ship in New Zealand waters while calling themselves our ally!

The series was done before a live audience. The reason was so that the critics could not say that it was not funny as they were using a laugh track.

It's the same everywhere.

A prime minister trying his best to his best job, the mental anguish just genius, the civil service working to their own agenda whilst seeming to support the government.. definitely still applies 50years later. Just brilliant. Bbc should rerun the whole lot of these series.

​@@carolwaller9605 agreed !! sadly the actors playing the parts seem more canny and savvy than the real ones we got !!!

@@ngiallag2792 you mean the script writers, yes. Unfortunately we don’t vote for civil servants so I guess we are doomed..

That was pretty daring for the time!

Tough to beat British comedy...Tough to beat the British period, such a unique culture to have been forged over 2k years of inter-island struggle 🇬🇧🇺🇸

@Becky McGreary. It was in the past, unfortunately 😌 Life for the many who live on the breadline is now too grim looking. Due to the protocols thrown at the population, without consent. No one is asked about them, and they pop up like from a mitrailleur. Not much time for laughs when choice flies out of the window, see what I mean?

They tried. You can look it up. It's absolutely miserable, an abject failure. The original show is perfect, lightning captured in a bottle, never to be repeated.

The Civil Service you see here has been all but destroyed. These days there are political advisers (think Dominic Cummings) who wield the power; older civil servants have retired; there have been years of cuts, tremendous hostility from Tories and the media ('lazy civil servants working from home' etc), and a lot of low morale.
