Have any of you seen the Yes Minister series?
« on: May 10, 2004, 05:13:58 pm »
Just got series 1 and 2 on DVD and I'm really enjoying this series once again.  For a satire it does a very good job of providing insight into British Government which I dare say is still probably true today.  Excellent performances from Nigel Hawthorne and Paul Eddington.

Just checking to see if there are any fans of this across the pond?

Here's a link for the complete collection on Amazon.com

Jeez, I was in England when it began...but I have to say, most of the British humour/sitcoms are quite good...my wife likes the Vicar of Dibley...I prefer Ever Decreasing Circles and To the Manor Born.
