Yes, Prime Minister - You lied - The Tangled Web

[eastgarden100]

hahaha

[KnaphillKid]

A Politician lying- whatever next..

[radmilasofrevska]

Awesome :))) I have forgotten how good it was :))))

[truvianni]

a person who lies is not somebody who says something which is false but somebody who says it knowing that it was false at the time he said it. That is the difference between a lie and a mistake

[freudastaire]

2 politicians saw this video

[liangyuanruo]

as to cause epistemological problems of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the english language a heavier burden than they can be reasonably be expected to bear.

[liangyuanruo]

Unfortunately, although the answer was indeed clear, simple and straightforward, there is some difficulty in justifiably assigning to it the forth of the epithets you applied to the statement, inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you correlated and the facts insofar they can be determined and demonstrated as such

[bulbadox]

epistemological problems LOL

[k33fy]

This is comedy gold and alot is relevent today. I

Ihave a slightly longer clip which has Bernards response to the PM saying "I did need to know"

[arwenae]

"Yes, I know this is a difficult concept to get across to a politician."

Truly, nothing changes.

[MtheGate]

The testomomlogical, what are you talkiung about!?

I can't even spell it. XD!

[KatkaJessie]

@MtheGate

It´s epistemological :-)

[DaniMajor]

I´ve seen this so many that I actually know by heart Humphrey´s speech

[CaptJJYossarian]

Great show, explains a lot about politics.

[CashOnTheNail1955]

The pound [sterling] had another bad-day on the Foreign-Exchange

Spooky...

[stoprainingonme]

Greatest TV series ever. Funnier than most comedies. More revealing than most documentaries. More honest than most News programmes.

[HConstantine]

There were two series, one in which Hacker was the Minister of Administrative affairs, and a later one in which he was Prime Minister.. This clip is from the later: Yes, Prime Minister.

[apathyriot]

Actually this is Yes Prime Minister, Hacker is Prime Minister, so you can keep the groan as your the one who doesnt know what there are talking about

[TheMediaTalks]

Haha, noob

[bobbyray27]

none of today's comedians are even nearly as talented as Nigel Hawthorne.....except maybe Stephen Fry

[EdenEchoes]

Both are so perfect in their roles, it's almost unbelievable! I love this series! :)

[cromicus]

too bad they're dead

[Mullahgrrl]

Both of them?

How is bernard doing?

[NaMgKCa]

what episode and series is this???????

[quarky00]

Yes Prime Minister

[BBC]

Season 2, Episode: 8, 'The Tangled Web' - the last episode..

[youknowimright1]

@quarky00 I have seen yes Minister and it is of great quality, Is there any other series of political comedy simialr to yes prime/minister?

[lakariana]

@youknowimright1 Well there is The Thick of It. Its another BBC show and its set in the labour administration, but the jokes are less subtle and there is way way more swearing. Its sort of a progression from this show though, all the issues brought up here still exist, so they needed a new format for jokes.

[CalumK1982]

What a great way of saying "you lied". I didn't know it was the last one - I've not seen Yes, Prime Minister yet.  Such a shame I think Nigel Hawthorne was made for that part he was fantastic

[dandysquirrel]

Incredibly well written and acted. Best "comedy" series ever.

[sweetpopz]

This is why I love English! =)

[xshadowx324]

what do you mean i lied? i mean.....you lied....i see this is a difficult concept to get across tyo a politician-rolf

[JOHNSENA666]

English is a beautiful language when properly applied.

[CL6120]

HILARIOUS.  He takes 70-80 words to simply say "you lied"

[2206411411]

Considering that he was too ill to complete even a single scene in one take (lots of continuity errors resulted) and was in constant pain, the acting is phenominal.

[ozphil]

who was in pain, was it Paul with his rare cancer or Nigel with his cancer? Both brilliant actors, I still watch both series and know each episode almost by heart. I dont think any pollitical satire show that has ever come close to these series, still relevant and hillarious. RIP to both actors.

[Flibble17]

It seems sad to see this episode as this was the last one.

[kgab2268]

The rolls royce of the British civil service - all now destroyed by Labour I'm afraid.

[MadameAdam]

I really hate it when I come across that "Ratings have been disabled for this video" thingy. I have been entertained and I want to applaud!

Five stars from me.

[quarky00]

Sorry, point taken.

[bcteagirl]

Thank you!!
