"I've got a problem..."

[SignumInterriti]

Hacker explaining how politicans deal with questions is another timeless gem, all the more funny because of just how true it is.

The way Bernard says, “Please don’t shout at me Prime Minister!” He is cuteee amd adorable😘

[wedgeantillies]

Utterly loved Humphrey's utter shock and dismay look of apoplexy and despondent turn of the head at hearing about Bernard's shocker of a press statement. Brilliant acting.

[SaintDre]

still so timeless. I was born in the 90s so I didnt know anything about this show until only a couple years ago when I discovered these clips. i know watch them religiously whenever i need a good laugh.

You just have to love how at this point Hacker has almost entirely transformed from an insecure, fumbling, apprehensive marginal politician into a cast iron PM who knows all the civil service stratagems and has Sir Humphrey almost in his pocket.

‘They just trapped me into speaking to them’ 😂

[victorhung]

And the next part of using Soviet embassors to hide the story is also legendary.

[THE_GUY_ONE]

Jim taking his glasses off and saying: *"Go on, Bernard."* like a dad pulling out his belt.

[michaelscott]

"He did _what?!"_
"I know, I can hardly believe it myself."
"You should be ashamed of yourself, young man. 'Talking to the press', I'm certain I raised you better than that!"

[typetersen]

immediately".

Two words which are definitely NOT in Sir Humphrey Appleby's very considerable vocabulary! 😅🤣

[tonykelpie]

This documentary on the British government is brilliant

[ambrosineandposy]

Aww, poor Bernard. He's adorable.

[gretareinarsson]

So current 😄”Pay no attention to the question” and above the is exactly like BJ

[barbarastewart]

I just cannot get enough. God thank you for these marvelous actors who gave their life to us...Thank you to their families.

[RasheedKhan-hexx]

Did no one notice that the Special Branch officer to be assigned to the leak inquiry is named Inspector Plod? Knew him when he was still a Constable. He's done well!

[sugarnads]

Always lol at 'go on bernard...'

[andyrob]

Very very few comedies stand the test of time. Yes many still remain funny but THIS remains so relevant and so accurate as our Lords and Masters still use these techniques! 40 years later!

[saurabhsinghmakrahi]

Humphrey was wearing my school's tie 😁 Sherwood 🥳

[potterendergaming]

I wish we had comedy as good as this today
