"We have had diaries from other Cabinet Ministers, but none I think which have been quite so illuminating... It is a fascinating diary... It is shorter than Barbara Castle's... and although it is rather more accurate than Dick Crossman's, it is distinctly funnier' - Lord Allen of Abbeydale (formerly Permanent Secretary at the Home Office) in The Times 'It has an entertainment and educational value which is unique. It is uproariously ..."
"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 listen to.These episodes of "Yes Minister" were specially adapted and broadcast on BBC Radio 4 between 1983 and 1984, starring Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne, and De ..."

"Two classic Alan Bennett dramas, as heard on BBC Radio 4. In A Woman of No Importance, Patricia Routledge plays Margaret Schofield, a woman whose existence has long revolved around the gossip and minutiae of office life. As she recounts the events leading up to her first bout of tummy trouble, there is little hint of the developments ahead - or of the moving portrayal of brave and inevitable decline which writer and performer create b ..."
""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 ..."
"Originally telecast in the 1970s, Good Neighbors is the wonderful 1970s Britcom about an upper-middle-class couple who relinquish consumerism and turn their cozy suburban London home into a self-sufficient farm. Tom (Richard Briers) and Barbara (Felicity Kendal) Good trade in one version of the good life for an impoverished other--an old tractor instead of a car, a goat instead of a purebred pup--to the continuing consternation of their ..."
"Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn's superb sitcom Yes, Prime Minister entered 10 Downing Street with Jim Hacker now Prime Minister of Britain, following a campaign to "Save the British Sausage." Whether tackling defense ("The Grand Design"), local government ("Power to the People"), or the National Education Service, all of Jim Hacker's bold plans for reform generally come to nothing, thanks to the machinations of Nigel Hawthorne's complacen ..."
"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. The pilot episode, "Open Government," is curious in that it contains opening and closing credits different from and distinctly inferior to the rest of the series. You also sense that Mrs. Hacker was originally ..."
