Denis Lill, a New Zealand actor who starred in many UK productions, guest stars as Derek Burnham. Number 10 is in a tizzy because the former prime minister (who is unnamed) wants to publish their memoirs.
Sydney Lotterby, who also directed all the As Time Goes By episodes, directed all of the Yes Prime Minister episodes and all but one of season one of Yes Minister.
Jonathan Lynn co-created and co-wrote Yes, Minister with Antony Jay. Interestingly, Antony Jay received a knighthood to become Sir Antony Jay but to this day Jonathan Lynn hasn't. Yet Jonathan Lynn went on to direct Clue, Nuns on the Run, My Cousin Vinny, and The Whole Nine Yards so it's strange init that Jonathan has been overlooked for a knighthood.
