Publisher's 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.

Love this show! Highly recommend.

I love listening to this when I'm out walking or running errands. I've seen the series a few times on BritBox so I can see it playing out in my head as I listen along. 80's political comedy at it's best! Highly recommend.

Dated British Political Satire

So mixed about this one, the performances were excellent, and especially the early episodes. BUT as it continued it became more blatently sexist and racist - lazy humour that was not part of the satire.

This is from the early 80s - which I had not realised, and society (and humour) thank goodness have moved on.

But I would love an updated version of this!
