    Bernard: "Oh, wide angle I should think, Minister."

    Who likes the idea of a modern comedy sequel to this show staring a grown Up Lucy Hacker who has gone down the road of left wing politics with a reputation of a insufferable labor mp the weight of legacy on her shoulders as the daughter of a former pm and has now been appointed to her fathers old job as the head of the department of administrative affairs Sir Humphrey has been retired for many years so now his position is now filled by non other than Bernard.
    The same kind of antics goes on just in the original series just 21st century but as her character progresses Lucy starts adopting/exiting many of her fathers well to put it diplomatically his behaviors where political idealism meets the reality of then civil service.
