The genius of this show is they never tell us which party Hacker is from. That's the point of the show, it doesn't matter which party is in power because it's the Civil Service who really hold the power.

It was relatively easy to film outside of 10 Downing Street for many years. I walked up there with my dad in the early 1980s and we took photos. It wasn’t until the IRA bombing increase in the UK that the street was cordoned off

'Civil servants' are government employees - employed on behalf of the country - they do the jobs they are told to do by their ministers, as employees they are expected to be politically neutral

Lovely sitcom 🤣 I served as a "Bernard" in a regional government during some years in the 2010's. I can truly say that this is a documentary 😉

The credits change after this episode to the more familiar Scarfe ones

Yes! Legendary show. The dialogue lasts for ages and all brilliantly delivered by amazing actors

They were allowed to film in front of Number 10 because one of the show's political consultants was Bernard Donaghue, who was a senior figure in the government at the time. It only came out that he was involved years later!

Watched this on 21 April 2023 (that’s 20 April to Americans). This morning I had a good chuckle when I heard Space X call the explosion of their rocket a rapid unscheduled disassembly,” which I thought was worthy of Sir Humphrey.

I believe that the character of Hacker’s advisor was dropped quite early on because he could well be interpreted as quite left-wing, and it was important that Hacker was not identified with either side of the political divide. BBC impartiality and all that.

As Margaret Thatcher pointed out in an interview: "It was closer to reality than anyone in Parliament would care to admit".

One other thing to bear on mind is that Sir Arnold, the Cabinet Secretary, is the overall head of the entire Civil Service and is Sir Humphrey's immediate boss so Sir Humphrey is continually needing to impress him, in exactly the same way as Bernard's boss is Sir Humphrey (

So glad you are watching full episodes. I watch these often and consider them some of the best TV shows made.

Yes!! Definitely watch the entire series, and the follow up " Yes Prine Minister". One of the best sitcoms ever written. As you've noticed, the genius of it is how close to reality it is, and how ridiculous our Government procedures and Political mationations really are. Sir Humphrey is possibly the greatest character in any sitcom. His long, confusing to others speeches are pure genius and Nigel Hawthorne was an incredibly great actor to be able to deliver them so perfectly. Finally, I loved your reaction to the final line in the show, "Yes Minister", you'll see as you work through these episodes that EVERY one ends with that line.

You've worked out the characters and the government set up really quickly. Looking forward to more episodes.

My wife was in a Westminster Ministry. She couldnt watch this " it's too like being at work, and I have to keep a straight face when taking notes from the fools". She was firmly of the " if voting changed anything, they wouldn't let us do it" her utter contempt for the Ruling Families of the Westminster Cartel as she terms them is real and hatred of them ingrained .

Hope you continue and do all the episodes. This is one of the best series ever made.

Glad you're watching full episodes. This should give you context on a lot of the clips you've seen

@kosh6612 Жыл бұрын

FINALLY someone is reacting to this yay! Don't worry about occasionally pausing.. unlike your reactions to clips, there are many more good spots to pause and comment. Also, beware in investigating too many terms Humphrey refers to.. he'll send you down the rabbit hole, as intended lol!!!
