funny thing. as an f1 fan i'm following recent developments in redbull racing. today i found an article that quoted "an unnamed senior engineer" from the team. i thought i'd cough my lungs out from laughter and immediately thought of "yes, minister".
As some one who has worked as an intern in both the new york state Senate and in the Department of Banking i can tell you that there is so much truth to what Sir Humphrey says when it comes to administration and policy anyone who has worked in Government can identify with this show
5 stars. Not particularly for the quality (though that deserves it) but just as a thankyou for posting it. I do that with all TV clips: someone will enjoy them after all.
shame this clip just missess out on another classic line, he leads that woman on the run a round again and the chairmang gets annoyed and says "when is this going to end" and with a cheeky smirk Humphrey quips "As soon as you like"
This what CSPAN should be like...lol

@turboturtle2002 I know exactly what you mean. I'm a huge fan of F1 too, and can see exactly that.

I understand perfectly what he is saying. I had to listen to it a few times, though. Sir Humphrey
