Jonathan Lynn in both'Yes, Minister'and'Yes, Prime Minister'is some of the finest ever spoken in a sitcom. The double act of Paul Eddington and Nigel Hawthorne also helped propel the series into the upper echelons of British comedy.This seven-disc set has all the episodes from both series, set in Whitehall and Downing Street respectively, and rightly deserves a place in any DVD collection of classic British comedy.

Advantages: very well written Disadvantages: won't be to every ones taste
This was probably the best of the three series of YesMinister which were made. Also this was probably one of the best written comidies ever. Yesminister 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 blocked (or 'redrafted' to use the civil service term) by Sir Humphery. Even a cabinet reshuffle (Epsd 'The Devil You Know) delights Sir Humphery. As they think that Jim now has got the hang of the job he has to go, then they can wipe the slate clean and start with a new minister....well that is until Sir Humphery finds out who may replace Jim in his department.
Still at least they agree ...
Advantages: Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne, Derek Fowlds and brilliant timing! Disadvantages: None for me
a new national database with hilarious consequences.
The Writing on the Wall sees the Department for Administrative Affairs under threat and Sir Humphrey and hacker have to work together to save their place in Whitehall.
The Right to Know is an episode where Sir Humphrey shows Hacker that there are some things that it is better he doesn't know. Sir Humphrey's explanations in this one are superb!
Jobs for the Boys is the one where Hacker turns to a banker to help him to rescue a doomed project and Sir Humphrey's reaction to an outsider in the camp!
Each episode ends with the words 'YesMinister' spoken by Sir Humphrey in various tones of voice as he either gets his own way or sometimes has to accept that Hacker has actually managed to outwit him.
The DVD also has profiles of the actors which are quite interesting.

Advantages: Funny, Funny Disadvantages: A little dated
Party Games finishes with the Hon Jim Hacker being promoted up to become the Prime Minister. With this we also see Sir Humphrey Applegate and Bernard Wooley move up into the higher echelon of the British establishment. It is so strange how even after 25 years that the issue are the same. This is must watch viewing for today! In 2004 YesMinister / Prime Minister, came sixth in Britain's Best Sitcom's of all time. The 6 series which were made by the BBC has went down as probably the best comedy ever produced by the BBC.
Yes Prime Minister revolves round the plot of a minister who is frustrated at every move by the Civil Service. The series was inspired by the diaries of Richard Crossman circa 1964. These were dominated by Crossman's constant struggle with Dame Evelyn Sharp, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Housing ...
