The lady who played Annie Hacker said she once had a conversation with Paul who remarked, “I know precisely who Jim Hacker is: he’s a mouse learning to be a rat!”

[WinstonSmite]

it's my wife's wedding anniversary tomorrow
... and mine too actually
Bernard: what a coincidence

[McRocket]

'It's my wife's wedding anniversary.'
🤣

[kevinbennett]

Paul's one sided phone routine is so good, you can almost hear the other person speak.

[malcolmabram]

1:06 'My wife' s wedding anniversary tomorrow.'. Made me think big time. Been married 23 years, and it is only now that I have learnt something new.

Unfortunately, the clip stopped well before Jim ( with his wife's full support) *did* get the better of Humphrey Appleby. This bit *is* funny, but the follow-on is *SO* much better.

[peterwest]

A brilliant documentary. I don´t understand how the Civil Service allowed it to be made.

[aritragupta]

"It's such a pleasure to work with a minister who knows his own mind"

[rtos]

Eddington is such a great actor that you never aware he's deliberately portraying a facade of the bumbling Minister.

[AshwathSampath]

That clip ended abruptly. This isn't the episode where Annie tells Jim to call Humphrey at 2 AM, is it?

[AudieHolland]

This is not the fragment where he actually gets the better of Humprey.
They cut it short and now the title is wrong.

[abhijitoka]

"is that clear?"
Hangs the phone:
"I am going to Swansea and Newcastle"

[AlifNurfakhri]

"Give him another 10 minutes"

[ajwasp]

She is such a beautiful women, she really is.

[studiobencivengamarcusbenc]

I vote Hacker ! He is much cooler than the real crooks 😂

[er.saurabhs.shinde]

Well he certainly needed his wife to realise...

[KamilPawelczykGuitar]

It's missing the part where he actually gets the better of Humphrey in that episode...

[theodorevogiatzis]

if paul had run for pm I think that all of Britain would have voted for him in an instance

[slitor]

I sorta want one of those dispatch boxes...could use it as a liqour cabinet :D

[Billsbob]

It used to be funny until I realized the civil service really (include US bureaucrats) see themselves as true rulers.
