Complete Yes Minister Prime Minister Box Set

Synopsis

For the very first time. The complete collection of both Yes Minister (which ran for five series from 1980-1984) and its spin-off series Yes Prime Minister (which ran for two series from 1986-1988). Yes, Minister: In politics, you have to really get behind somebody before you can stab them in the back. Named one of the Top Ten TV programs of all time by the British Film Institute, this brilliantly observed comedy of manners pits the well-meaning Jim Hacker, a newly appointed Cabinet Minister, against the machinations of a career civil servant, Sir Humphrey Appleby, in the ultimate political marriage of inconvenience. Paul Eddington (Good Neighbors) stars as the The Right Honorable Jim Hacker, a role that was written especially for him, and Academy Award nominee Nigel Hawthorne (The Madness of King George) first drew wide notice in the role of Sir Humphrey Appleby. Yes Minister is the first - and only - series to win the British Academy Award for Best Comedy three years running. Yes, Prime Minister: In an unlikely chain of events, Jim Hacker emerges as the most viable candidate for his partys next Prime Minister. Now that he gets his own car and driver, a nice house in London, a place in the country, endless publicity and a pension for life, what more does he want. Bernard: I think he wants to govern Britain. Sir Humphrey: Well, stop him, Bernard. Named one of the Top Ten TV programs of all time by the British Film Institute, this brilliantly observed comedy of manners pits the well-meaning Prime Minister Jim Hacker against the machinations of the Cabinet Secretary, Sir Humphrey Appleby, in the ultimate political marriage of inconvenience. Paul Eddington (Good Neighbors) stars as Jim Hacker and Academy Award nominee Nigel Hawthorne (The Madness of King George) first drew wide notice in the role of Sir Humphrey Appleby.
