Economize on the beaches 😅. His Churchill’s impressions were pure gold as always.
Could you please explain what means ? I don't get it!

Churchill was a respected war leader in UK. And he gave a rousing speech on the Normandy landing on the beaches.
Hacker often Imitates Churchil's speeches.
I absolutely love the imitations. Pure gold
It’s not about the Normandy landing. Churchill’s ‘We shall fight on the beaches’ speech was about the threat of a possible Nazi invasion of Britain.
What he said @awibrahor
Absolutely.
Hahaha I’ve never seen him actually break down after his stammerings 😂😂 quality. Poor man 😭
The voice cracking was just perfect 🤩
I loved Bernard’s response to the aftermath of this meeting: “CBE Minister: Can’t Be Everywhere”
Would love it if BBC uploaded the whole series for free 😊
A G It’s on Dailymotion. If you google it you can find it.
It's... somewhat easily accessible on various sites, and considering its' age, not that many people might be upset to find you having downloaded it from there.
@@Robbini0 The BBC is trying to grab every penny it can as the Licence Fee will be abolished soon.
All the series are on Britbox now, not sure we will see it on iplayer soon.
I found a box set of dvds in CEX ... in fact it’s possibly best to buy all the comedy you can before they gut it in the pursuit of political correctness.
If this was today and he had a smartphone recording the conversation, he could bring down a government.
Recording people without their knowledge/consent is a crime, I guess he'd suffer some consequences.
@@IrisGalaxis, that actually would depend on where you live.
In the USA, for instance, many States allow secret recording, under the assumption that anyone saying anything to anyone consents to what they are saying being shared by mere fact that they are saying it. Other states require two-party-consent.
actually, brings down an administration only, not government. A governing agency will always required to rule and manage the people for the top-end of pyramid.
Arlin Edmondson but we’re talking about recording in Britain , not in the US
@@edipires15 In Britain if someone secretly records a policy decision like this, which is not a threat to national security, then it's very unlikely that the person will be prosecuted. The public will go mad and will be angry beyond recognizance if a whistle blower is arrested in a liberal democracy like UK.
For those who like words, as opposed to images, this is the most intelligent, and the best sit-com of all time.
Yes, good writing is what's lacking in most productions since the '80s. They think CGI can adequately replace it. It can't.
We seem to have similar taste. Any other shows you recommend?
This is my favourite programme ever. But I have to say that the books are even better in my opinion. So brilliantly written and insightful.
Where's Humphrey when we need him?
This was his idea 😂😂😂
Humphrey would have been the last one to shield a minister from an embarrassment if it could help his own agenda....
I was expecting Humphrey to make a dramatic entrance and then take over the conversation with a wicked smile and, "well, what the minister meant was...." To which Hacker nods his head vigorously "Yes ! Yes! .." And then Humphrey shows him the door. It's typically what happens when the minister blunders and Humphrey comes to the rescue.
*Humpy
"RedUndancies" 😂 Like a proper Northerner
I thought he sounded Brummie
Sounds like a Black Country accent to me. The actor is from Bristol, sounds like there's a bit of that in there too.
Paul Eddington should be required study for anyone in drama school...
I almost pitied him here.
Kidding right? They can barely read past first grade and they surely wouldn't understand it.
And by the BAFTA juries who not for once considered him for an award.
@@deesplaylists6941 It may surprise you - Dee - to learn that many British drama students have enjoyed an excellent academic education - and in some cases a professional career - prior to attending drama school! Not every country's educational standards is at the quality level of the United States.
Love this actor... he was a very scary Eichmann in 'War and Remembrance'...
Yes, Minister has some of the best scenes in television.
Poor Jim, steps foot in it and says, "Oh God." Hilarious.
Oh God how I wish we had this show on right now lol.
I almost choke laughing at this. Pure gold.
'Mr. Watson' also portrayed Eichmann - very chillingly - in 'War and Remembrance'.
Also in Star Wars as Captain Bewil it seems.
@@TomAlter1000 why are they all called Milton?
never did learn to keep his mouth shut and then they go make him the priminister
That’s Prime Minister....it is not one word!
Politics is the art of failing upwards.
'If the unions were to hear of this!' - why do I think a Gillian Duffy moments coming! :)
Magnificent series
Before this television series and its sequel, there was a BBC radio show, called The Men From The Ministry. Similar stuff but all about bumbling civil servants, featuring Derek Guyler.
Just as funny, probably available.
Julia Naylor Derek Guyler! Now there’s a name from the past!
It's on BBC Radio 4 Extra every week
2:37 Hacker’s Bob Hawke moment.
Yep, had meetings like that...
Had this Blu-ray all the way from Canada.
Just so good, should be compulsory viewing for all politicians, and civil service. I suspect it already is part of their training.
They pick it up on the job or from more experienced co-workers in all likelihood
Training? 😂
They say every civil servant watches Yes Minister, but they don't laugh.
Most top level politicians in India have watched this web series and they do use refrence of yes minister in parliament sometimes
The easy way out was 'i knew who it was i was winding him up start to finish'
the importance of being discrete
💅 Thank You!
that guy looks like Leonard Rossiter
I think he's called Milton Johns, good actor
Milton Johns playing the good guy for a change.
😂🤣😂😅😅😅
Jim Hacker, the Thatcherite Monetarist.
Indeed. As comedy it's superb, but it had an agenda that many fans seem to miss.
@@djackmanson Given that Anthony Jay went onto be a speechwriter for Margaret Thatcher after he finished on the show, I'd say that was certain!
Hahahaha
Polly from _Howard's Way!_
3:30 And he is, having a brain hemorrhage!
more like his brain is melting.
Watson made a massive breach of security and protocol and would be out on his ass anyway.
Probably not in the 80s. Until the early 80s even Downing Street was just a normal street accessible to the public
This was all down to the minister enforcing severe cutbacks in his own department, to be an example to others that cost savings can be done to the civil service.
So the union representative of the civil service has no regard for the protocols and bureaucracy of other people? Makes sense.
Nothing against the unions myself, but i know a couple of representatives and they do stuff like this all the time. Well maybe not with ministers, but managers and department chiefs.(and so on..).
"First to go"
The damage that could be done in 2020.
Why is it that all union people were portrayed as Brummies?
The most active unions of the time were in Birmingham and Liverpool
@@colorado13 At that time the most active unions were the Yorkshire miners with Arthur Scargill at the head.
Not a unionist! That would be even worse, by far.
Johnson PM meets Keir Starmer.
Starmer is a lot of things but he's not a trade unionist
Union leaders 2day would do nothing with minister's admission but defend the minsters action
In an ideal world I'd kidnap Quentin Tarantino and hold him captive on a remote desert island patrolled by scantily clad female guards being fed small (Large) amounts of Viagra every morning, then I'd only order them to leave him alone during daylight hours if he produced one episode of "YES MR PRESIDENT" every day until November 3rd...
X'D That's the greatest thing I've ever heard!
@@readsomebooks666 But we're not in an ideal world, we're in the real world and in that real world 30 years ago the devil made Mike Pompeo first in class at West Point, then he kidnapped the original Drumpf and gave us that idiot in the WH, Ha-Ha-Ha (Erk) Ha-Ha, I'm not joking either, Ha-Ha Ha Ha Ha, god help us ;-)
This is just situational humor, not worthy of the series.
It was a scene written to expose how much a minister needs his private office staff and how much control they have over the access to the minister every day. When cuts are brought into the civil service, and staffing levels fall, these situations can happen, that is what the writers were exposing here, to good humour.
@@johnking5174 What does it have to do with what I wrote?
@@lauterunvollkommenheit4344 that it worthy of the series as it addressed the common complaint of too much bureaucracy staff and the easy sproutable solution of simply cut it down. The politicians need the bureacracy than the bureaucracy need him.
@@Account.for.Comment I wasn't talking about the content but the type of humor they use. During the whole meeting, the situation is that's supposed to be funny (low-level, situational humor). Only at the end (from about 3:30) do we see a few seconds of character-based humor (i.e. how a person reacts to the situation).
@@lauterunvollkommenheit4344 oh well, I can understand your point now. Here is one of the very early episode, and I do not think they think that their works are masterpieces as of yet. Hacker is still an easily baffled, goofed up sit-com protagonist not a budding poltical actor. The "sitcom" humor is more convinient to write, and you can see this happening in real-life.
