As close to comedy perfection as you'll find. Absolutely hilarious. Richard Vernon deserved a BAFTA for this alone.

I chuckled, then laughed, then realized I was laughing so much I had to go back at: "What have you heard?" "Only what I read in the papers." "Oh, good."

Simply one of the best series ever made and still very relevant today. Sadly, none of the three main characters are around today, including Richard Vernon from this clip. He was brilliant as Slartibartfast in Hitchhiker's. Got an award for Norway, you know........

IIRC, they gave him the contract for Africa on Earth 2 and he wanted to do it with fjords and everything- but they weren't equatorial enough.

Good thing Bernard wasn't in the room with Sir Desmond. He would have imploded.

The truth is that given it's so close to real life: it's hard for a chap to make any sort of comment at all?, perhaps it's time this chap asked the other chaps for their opinions?, particularly the chaps who've recently been invited to lunch with the Governor of the Bank of England?.

Mostly based on off-the-record interviews with officials. Some stories had been so strange that show writers had to water them down to make them believable!!
