Summary
For the first time in one audio collection, all 16 Yes Minister radio episodes plus six further TV episodes, 14 Yes Prime Minister episodes and two bonus sketches.
Between 1980 and 1988 on BBC television and radio, the exploits of the Rt Hon Jim Hacker MP (Paul Eddington) - later Prime Minister - kept the British nation enthralled. Helped - and hampered - by his diligent Permanent Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby (Nigel Hawthorne) and his Principle Private Secretary Bernard Woolley (Derek Fowlds), Hacker and his department became synonymous with government bureaucracy and administrative double dealing. Presented here, for the first time in one collection, are the complete radio series of Yes Minister and the complete BBC television soundtracks of Yes Prime Minister. Also included are six TV soundtracks of Yes Minister and two special bonus mini-episodes: "The PM’s Plan", recorded in 1984 with Margaret Thatcher as herself, and a special segment created for "The Funny Side of Christmas" in 1982.

A classic
Classic British comedy. Excellently produced and remains hugely relevant today. That said some of the elements re race and gender, whilst clearly being parodies of outdated views at the time, do not nit entirely comfortably now.

Smile smile smile
I never tire of listening to this collection, which never leaves me without a smile.
This one of the best the BBC have been able to put together, well thought out comedy which is difficult to find nowadays. Delivered perfectly and in a manner that will make you want more. It’s a shame there are not more to this set.
This collection is permanently on my phone in case I need cheering up.
I highly recommend.

Brill
Surprisingly contemporary on Europe, and fortunately no references to minority government. I wonder what they would have made of select committees.
