and yet more youtube goodness inspired by the election in britain.
just think: in a few weeks, the general election will be over and then i will no longer be able to recycle '70s british sitcoms for friday content! what will i do!
in case you've never seen it, yes, minister was one of the best of the '70s/'80s british sitcoms. it was said to be margaret thatcher's favorite tv show; she even visited the set once, if i remember rightly. i try not to hold this against any of the actors concerned.
the plot focussed around a dithering minister, james hacker (paul eddington), and sir humphrey appleby (nigel hawthorne -- rip) who is permanent secretary of hacker's department and bernard woolley (derek fowlds), his personal private secretary.
much hilarity ensues if you like verbal jousting, clever wordplay, and political humor.
coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad:
whether from great personal success,
or just an all-night drive,
we are the sole survivors of a world
no one else has ever seen. - john le carre
