Yes, Minister

A sociological probe into the core of politics so deep that it reliably stings even after thirty years; the wishful thinking of all the analysts, commentators, and ordinary voters is that this would not be the case when the ballot boxes are counted. (29.09.2013)

The cult series was created by Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay, who were familiar with the world of high politics and worked on the script with the help of John Cleese from Monty Python in the second half of the 1970s. The pilot episode of the series was well received, and so in 1979, 21 episodes were filmed, which were broadcast on the BBC a year later - and the audience went crazy. The series was also loved by Prime Minister Thatcher, who could spend hours watching it. For those who want to learn about politics, it doesn't make sense to read political handbooks or listen to boring narcissistic speeches by politicians on television - it's best to watch a few episodes of this brilliant series and immediately understand how politics works. Thanks to the brilliant cast, the series was successful worldwide. For their masterpiece, Paul Eddington, as the representation of the weak and trusting Hacker, and Nigel Hawthorne, as the cunning manipulator Appleby, were awarded the CBE Order, and Antony Jay was elevated to the nobility. Surprisingly, the British government didn't like the series, labeling it as vile and overrated. The collection of awards and honors received by the creators could take up a lot of space, and we could discuss the individual plots and dialogues for a long time. For me, it's an irresistible series. 100% rating. (18.10.2007)
