    I think some appreciation is needed for the marvellous Diana Hoddinott as Annie Hacker. She played the role so well, with wonderful timing and delivery especially when Annie, while supporting her husband, decided (thanks to the writers) to introduce a bit of levity or to prick Jim's bubble when his ego got a bit too inflated. There are numerous examples across the 5 series of YM/YPM.

    I've seen this epsiode - as usual, incredibly biting and funny. Satire is one of the finest genres, and the British have it down pat; the US needs political satire this brainy, brawny, and piercing.

    @louisdm123 Haha I feel your pain man. There's no greater TV viewing pleasure than the advert-less Beeb. There used to be a time when we could get through this playlist without any ads at all, but such is the way of the Internets. This show was just so good I'm willing to be put through all of them just to enjoy those classic moments!

    I love those two shows to pieces, and think they're invaluable; that said, I think a biting political satire freed from the news show format would find its place and be every bit as critical and refreshing.

    I want to write and I love Black Adder like everyone else does. But if I envy anything in this world it's the writing style in Yes (Prime) Minister. I want THAT ONE!
    If Black Adder was the product of vocal, know-it-all Oxbridge drama geeks with a fetish for Python then Yes Minister was the opus of the snidest, spectacle-lowering dining-room-discussion gymnast the world's ears have ever been leant forward and pleasured by. No homo.

      I mean, bit late on my part, but there's three series from Yes Minister, the Christmas special, then Yes Prime Minister for two series (although with 8 episodes rather than 7 in Yes Minister). There was also the 2013 revival, but that had an entirely different cast and wasn't well liked.

    "How can there be adverts on the BBC"
    There should be more adverts on the BBC. Maybe then we wouldn't have to pay 150 odd quid for re-runs of My Family, and all other manor of shit that's on the BBC. BBC 3, for example.
