Yes, Minister

[Etch]

'Party Games' - the one where Jim Hacker ends up as the only candidate for PM - on at the moment on BBC Four. Hilarious - shame the script writers aren't still around to do an episode dealing with the handling of Covid-19. Oh, and it also includes negotiations over the 'British Sausage".

Is that the one which mentions "The emulsified offal tube"?

[jim360]

Emulsified high-fat Offal Tube, and yes.

Sadly, all 3 of the original cast members are no longer with us. :-( It wouldn't be the same without them, they were just perfect.

This series and its sequel, Yes, Prime Minister, were sheer genius.

I listen to them and find it astonishing how undated they seem!

They did some new episodes a few years ago with a different cast, who were very good actors in the main, but the shows were just unwatchable.

Remakes of classic comedy series are never any good , in my opinion .

Remake of Porridge
springs to mind

Can you imagine remakes of the following being funny ?
