Brilliant result. And the egregious Paticia Hewitt was talking about how dominant Lab had been in the campaign...how splendid to see her making a fool of herself (again...)
A present day Yes Minister...well, it would be much like the old one except most of the officials would be crony and toadying political appointees. In other words, it wouldn't be half as much fun. I've always loved this programme (there are three series, plus a 90 minute special which is particularly good), and then of course there's Yes Prime Minister. So it's great to read about someone else who's discovered it. There are some really great lines in there. And we won't go into what the scriptwriters did for a day job.
