Yes Minister (1980)
The best sit com ever
19 September 2006 - 8 out of 8 users found this review helpful.
Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister were the wittiest and cleverest sit-coms ever. Sadly, there is simply nothing these days to compare with them. The casting of Paul Eddington, Nigel Hawthorne and Derek Fowlds was absolutely brilliant. Whilst Sir Humphrey invariably has the upper hand it is delightful when Jim Hacker occasionally gets the better of him, the best episode being where Sir Humphrey has his wings clipped and is locked out 10 Downing Street. The look on his face when he's forced to try to gain entry via a window and Jim Hacker's comment 'Oh, look there's Humphrey' cracks me up every time I see it. Like Dad's Army it remains one of those series that never dates.
