All episdes of the classic BBC political comedy set in Westminster starring Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne and Derek Fowlds. Yes Minister Series 1-3 & ‘Party Games’ Christmas Special Meet James Hacker MP, Minister for Administrative Affairs, as he attempts to make the world of officialdom and administration make sense. However, James also has his own agenda as he tries to keep his head above political water. Also, meet Sir Humphrey Appleby, an unflappable civil servant who happens to be James Hacker’s nemesis. Working as part of a political machine that has no gears, only brakes. Yes, Prime Minister Series 1&2 After coming into power as a result of protests against European plans to eradicate the British Sausage, new Prime Minister Jim is swiftly up against bigger problems than before. Dealing with cabinet reshuffles, trying to stop small wars and just maybe rescuing a sheepdog from Salisbury Plain. Sir Humphrey, now Cabinet Secretary, is even more determined than ever to prevent Hacker doing anything new. Review: Great humour as always - Well written and I still believe it's closer to fact than any politician will admit Review: Classic and still pertinent. - It is quite astonishing and I guess unnervingly depressing how topical these satirical episodes seem today , even though the UK would seem to have changed so dramatically in the past 40 odd years, what with Blair, Brexit, and now the sordid Andrew affair, etc. I did watch them when they first aired and it was a pleasure to be reacquainted with these fine comic actors, so fondly missed. Now I know that it is commonplace to remind ourselves these days how much better off we really are, in a material sense. But I can't help thinking that humour was genuinely funnier back then, and with more bite too.

No Christmas special?
I love this show but why not include the special it's so important to the storyline for yes prime minister. Obviously it's not the merchants fault but still important to know that it's not included

The battle between ministers and officials
Slightly dated, but the humour and the tussles are still great viewing. Being hard of hearing, I selected Subtitles. Yes, they are there, but I found the text hard to read. Not obvious and it got partly blended in with the picture.

Serie televisiva, acquistata per un regalo
🌟 IN SINTESI Serie televisiva in lingua inglese. Voto 10 (al prodotto fisico). 🔨 COMPONENTI Ottimo imballo Amazon. All'interno prodotto perfettamente integro. 🎲 NORMALE UTILIZZO Nulla di particolare. Serie tv da vedere in un normale lettore DVD. ✔️ PRO Imballo sufficiente considerando la tipologia di prodotto (delicato). Esteticamente si presenta bene. ❌ CONTRO Nulla da evidenziare. 📋 VALUTAZIONE Non posso dare un giudizio soggettivo alla serie poiché è stata acquistata per un regalo, che è stato oltremodo apprezzato. Posso solo dire che è stato acquistato per aiutare una persona a perfezionare il suo inglese, visto che gli attori provengono dal teatro ed hanno un'ottima dizione. Solito ottimo imballo Amazon sufficientemente protettivo. La scatola del cofanetto era in ottime condizioni e il nylon perfettamente applicato. Questa è una valutazione breve, vi invito sul mio blog per altre recensioni complete.

Genial und noch immer aktuell!
es ist erstaunlich, wie gut dies Serien in unserer heutigen Zeit passen - obwohl über 40 Jahre alt! Nachdem ich den täglichen Wahnsinn in den Nachrichten lese/höre/sehe, schaue ich mir eine Episode an und fühle mich gleich besser!
