      Two reasons...One, politicians these days are not as thick skinned as they used to be in the 80s. Two, politicians these days are so much committed to speaking for freedom of expression in Russia and China to such an extent that the media (under their indirect control) is totally preoccupied with promoting their noble mission at the expense of those dumbfounded critics who want to use the same freedom of expression to ridicule them till kingdom come. The death of freedom of expression in Britain twenty one years ago when Tony Blair emptied his bowels to reveal the 'September Dossier' (aka evidence of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction).

    It isn't a comedy. It is a satire of the highest quality. Never tired to watch it again and again. It was relevant for the the eighties and it is relevant for today. The only difference is that the governments became less accountable and more corrupt. Since the release of the series governments have concentrated even more power in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats who became a new class in our society. It is becoming even worse as more people accepting socialist agenda. America is moving towards fascism as a branch of socialism. Democratic socialism is an oxymoron. Socialism exists only in two forms: communism (government ownership of production and distribution control) and fascism (government control of production). Fascism is a preferable system as long as it is free from extreme nationalism. Both systems eventually lead to militarism. It isn't complicated and even poorly educated people can understand it if they put a little effort to think about it. Those who try to complicate those systems are liars brainwashing people with utopian ideas without any basis in reality.

    So £100 a week was regarded as poor in those days. How much is the state pension nowadays?

      A weekly income of £100 in 1980 would be roughly equivalent to £400-£500 today depending on how you measure inflation over the period. Median UK weekly income is currently about £580.
      While this would give Sir Humphrey a below average salary in our current system it should also be considered in the context of what Agnes was proposing which would be a complete shake-up of that system and redistribution of wealth.

    I would never have a problem being called dear lady think it is respectful , nor being called by a guy a term of endearment I like it very much . Women get so very stupid about this feminist garbage and sexism , what about them they are no better themselves . This show is fantastic current in the time it was made but very much also ahead of its time as well . The whole casting was fantastic and story line even Mrs Thatcher was a fan of both Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister . Gwen Taylor who played Agnes Moorhouse like that play on Agnes Moorehead in case no one caught on to it those who do not know who Ms Agnes Moorehead is a very famed US actress , she was very beautiful and did a lot of great things and is so very talented

    Captain Tom was a decent and very well meaning old man and thoroughly deserving of our respect but I never got good vibes from his daughter. I think it's important we don't allow the very questionable actions and motives of his daughter to sully his reputation. Lovely cat.

    I know this is comedy but... it is making me cringe as it hits too close to home in our current climate.
    Is this part of the curriculum for aspiring politicians?
    Is it disinformation?
