"I'm Prime Minister aren't I?"
"Indeed you are!"

Humphrey treats Hacker like he's a child.

[achaarpickler]

Hacker's expressions, Humphrey's long dialogues, Bernard's deadpan

[Anders_Lund]

"Prime minister, you are not being indecisive, are you?"
"No, no. No, I just can't make up my mind." 😅

[Casual_Sadism]

1:09 "It's one of The Seven Dudley Sins..."

You can just make out Sir Humphrey's reply to Bernard over the laughter!

[aethan-dor]

"the ship of government is the only one that leaks from above"

[andyray]

Derek Fowlds's one liner quip is the best thing in Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister, and that always comes after a brilliant exchange between Hawthorne and Eddington.

[leftcoaster]

"So it could be honest and accurate?" Lol

[pondgazer]

The casting in this series couldn't be more perfect. Their deadpan delivery never fails to make me laugh out loud. It's deliciously funny!

[felisd]

Bernard's "irregular verbs" have always been my favourite part of YPM.

[NicNacSN]

"When's he going to leak it?"
Bernard has the 'nasty' habit of speaking aloud what's been intentionally left unsaid because he is still a wee bit honest

[billthomas]

Kudos to the editors: 1:13 it just HANGS on Hacker's reaction. OTOH, I've decided Bernard is my absolute favorite and he should be running things.

[darylcheshire]

I work in the Education Department, in 1982 I listened to a speech by the Director-General of Education saying he and the minister enjoy Yes Minister but laugh in different places.

[harishnunkoo]

The stare Bernard receives from the PM can kill.

[dallasreid]

"Irregular verb". My favourite Yes Minister line of all time.

[olulakun]

"its one of the seven Dudley sins" 😅😅😅

[clickrick]

Paul Eddington says more with a single look than could be uttered in that time!

[michaelvidal]

This episode explains why very few leak enquiries ever report back.

[farouqAliyu]

This is not a Sitcom, it is a course in Public Administration.

[ObsidianBehemoth]

1:06 I think we have found the greatest pun ever made.

[michaelscott]

"This is, in fact, a good plan...apart from all the reasons why it isn't."
