""Scalpel-sharp in observation, deceptively simple in construction...at its frequent best "Yes Prime Minister" exhibits the classical perfection of a Mozart sonata". (Richard Last in "The Times"). "Its closely observed portrayal of what goes on in the corridors of power has given me hours of pure joy". (Rt Hon. Margaret Thatcher MP). ""Yes Prime Minister"...is not only a continuing marvel of editing by Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay but al ..."

The sustained dry wit of the dialogue and the wonderful interplay between the three main characters Jim Hacker, Sir Humphrey, and Bernard Wooley made Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay s satirical comedy compulsive viewing. The strength of the writing makes these audios a joy to li ..."

"The elegant sitcom-cum-farce-cum-sophisticated political satire Yes, Minister sets off Paul Eddington's Jim Hacker, Minister for Administrative Affairs, against Nigel Hawthorne's discreetly obstructive civil servant Sir Humphrey.

You also sense that Mrs. Hacker was originally ..."
