I see 5 people from Lossiemouth must have watched this.....or 5 people that have had a sense of humour bypass!...perhaps they all live in Lossiemouth? :P
I'm trying to write a transcript of this video, and I can't understand a word he says at about 1:40. Sir Humphrey then says: The .. issue is the defence etc. Could you please tell me what this word is?
I know what you mean as knowing what is needed can mean needing to know what is not needed and that means having a need to know of what is not known yet.
This was one of the best series ever. I enjoyed it even before I was interested in political intrigue. And to think Brown (spit! ...sorry - he's NOT my favourite PM) wants to give civil servants back their power. Or at least he SAYS he does. Blair knew which side his bread was buttered on with Alastair Campbell. Google: keeptonyblairforpm He's the ONE!

"But you only need to know things on a need-to-know basis."
"I need to know everything! How else can I judge whether or not I need to know it?!"
"So that means you need to know things, even when you don't need to know them..."
Brilliant, wonderful gibberish! LOL

Humphrey: Bernard, the matter at issue is the defense of the realm, and the stability of the government.
Bernard: But you only need to know things on a "need to know" basis.
Humphrey: I need to know everything! How else can I judge whether or not I need to know it?
