with Jim Hacker now Prime Minister of Britain,
following a campaign to "Save The British
Sausage". Whether tackling defence ("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 complacent Cabinet Secretary Sir
Humphrey (Jeeves to Hacker's Wooster) who opposes
any action of any sort on the part of the PM. This
is usually achieved by discreet horse-trading. In
"One Of Us", for instance, Hacker relents from
implementing defence cuts when he is presented
with the embarrassingly large bill he ran up in a
vote-catching mission to rescue a stray dog on an
army firing range. Only in the final episode of
series two, "The Tangled Web", does the PM at last
turn the tables on Sir Humphrey.Paul Eddington is
a joy as Hacker, whether in mock-Churchillian mode
or visibly cowering whenever he is congratulated
on a "courageous" idea. Jay and Lynn's script,
meanwhile, is a dazzlingly Byzantine exercise in
word-play, wittily reflecting the
verbiage-to-substance ratio of politics.
Ironically,Yes, Prime Ministeris an
accuratedepiction of practically all political
eras except its own, the 1980s, when Thatcher
successfully carried out a radical programme
regardless of harrumphing senior civil servants.

Yes minister series 2

Advantages: very well written
Disadvantages: won't be to every ones taste

...of the three series of Yes Minister which were made. Also this was probably one of the best written comidies ever. Yes minister was the first programme to win the BAFTA for best comedy series for three years running.

The battle between the political will and the administartive won't continues.

Jim Hacker is still in his job as 'Minister for Adminastrative Affairs' and his plans and ideas are still constantly being ...
...is a bit of a yes man to the PM. Hacker is obsesed with being a popular MP and will produce any policy that may win votes, much to Sir Humphery's disgust. Hacker's main aim as always is sliming down the civil service - not if Sir Humphery can help it.

Sir Humphery - The Oxford graduate is of the oppinion that it is he who runs the department and will use every trick in the book to stop the Minister doing as he wishes, telling him ... more

...second of three series of Yes Minister. The DVD contains all seven episodes of the series, originally broadcast in early 1981. In their weekends, Anthony Jay and Jonathan Lynn used to drive down to London with a case of something in the boot, and talk to Government ministers. These ministers, who stayed secret until recently, were able to tell Jay and Lynn what politics is really like on the inside. They told stories which were at the time still ...
...lines of Yes Minister. To someone who has never seen Yes Minister, the idea of a programme containing three middle-aged men in suits talking about politics would probably suggest boredom in the extreme. Ask someone who has, and the reply would be very different. Jim Hacker (Eddington) is a new and eager minister of the fictitious Department of Administrative Affairs, determined to leave his mark. He wants nothing more than to rise in government, ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Yes Minister - Series 2 (DVD)"

Hilarious comedy

Advantages: Classic sitcom all on two disks
Disadvantages: If you like extras, there are very few

This is series two of a classic piece of BBC comedy starring Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne and Derek Fowlds. The premise of all the "Yes, Minister" series is a view of the functioning of Whitehall from the point of view of the Right Honorable Jim Hacker, Minister for the fictional Department of Administrative Affairs. A particular device used in his comedy are the dialogues between the Head of the Civil Service for the department, Sir Humphrey Appleby and Jim Hacker, which act as a hilarious expose of the functioning of the Civil Service and their opposition to their Ministers policies. The episodes on these DVDs are: - The Compassionate Society: A hospital has been open for over a year, and has no patients because it has no healthcare staff - but it is fully staffed with administrators! A very funny episode exposing ...
