Hacker, Humphrey and Bernard

A good political speech is not one in which you can prove that the man is telling the truth; it is one where no one else can prove he is lying.

Without doubt the best political satire sitcom ever – made even better by the fact it probably harboured more than just a tad or reality – politicians seemed to love it as much as the TV audience that watched it.

Yes Minister

Created by Anthony Jay and Jonathan Lynn, Yes Minister was voted one of teh top 10 comedies.  Its intelligent humor that mocked the British political system without actually siding with the left or right and thereby offending nobody, seems as fresh today as it did all those years ago.
