Yes, Prime Minister,
is a British TV Serial by BBC which ran in late 80's and was a sequel to Yes Minister.
This was shown in Doordharshan during my school days and I have heard great comments
about them. Though I watched few of the episodes I couldn't appreciate it then.
Few weeks back, while shopping in Landmark I saw the VCD version of Yes, Prime Minister
Series 1 and 2 at Rs.350 per series. Over this weekend I watched the 8 episodes of
Series 1. I had 4 hours of non-stop laugher and I had to marvel at the brilliance
of the writers who have portrayed what life could be inside 10, Downing street in
the most humorous way. This is a must see for anyone remotely interested with politics
in general.
Yes, Prime Minister is now second in my list of favourite political satires
of all time, First in the list is Cho's Muhammad Bin Thuglak.
