Yes Minister is one of the most popular and critically successful
British sit-coms of all time, partly due to its fascinatingly
accurate observations of the eternal sparring between Paul
Eddington's naive senior minister, Jim Hacker, and Nigel
Hawthorne's infernally cunning Permanent Secretary, Sir Humphrey
Appleby. Originally broadcast in three series from 1980 to 1984,
Yes Minister won an unprecedented three BAFTA awards in a row, as
well as an enduring appeal that has lived far beyond the series or
its sequel Yes Prime Minister. Tracing the careers of Hacker, Sir
Humphrey and his loyal sidekick Bernard, this amusing and
brilliantly illustrated book will appeal to everyone who remembers
the series with affection and can't resist watching the repeats.
Containing obituaries of the three leading characters, written
specially by Sir Anthony Jay, and the sketch written by Bernard
Ingham for Margaret Thatcher to perform with Paul Eddington and
Nigel Hawthorne, the book contains many surprises as well as
reflections on the series and its importance by politicians and
journalists of the day.
