The writing, character, and acting of Sir Humphrey complement each other so well in this scene: again and again, he deliberately winds up until she calls government policy stupid, and then he's home free. His cool smile at 1:36 says it all.
The heated hangers full of nothing with copper wire is true and happened in the 1960's. It was disclosed by Leslie Chapman a senior manager in his book "Your Disobedient Servant" you will be glad to know he was "retired" for this and other indiscretions,
This Boxing Day marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of Sir Nigel Hawthorne. I work in politics and his portrayal of Sir Humphrey did a better job of preparing me for this way of life, than anything else. Thank you, Sir Nigel!
