Who reads the papers? - Yes, Prime Minister - BBC comedy

£142 bill arrived today. So you want to make me pay £172 before X-mas so I don't have to watch kleenix adverts for seven seconds. Lets slap on 40 quid to my BA flight for fuel surcharges while the cabin crew decide they want an extended X-mas at home. Pile on an inflation busting tenner to my monthly tube ticket. I'm sure I can retire after we raise the retirement age to 95 so we can afford all of this. Yours :-p

the PM removing his glasses after Bernards mentioning of Sun readers just shows how masterly they built up the whole scene.

They build up the comedy superbly with a joke and then a lull and then a better joke going faster and faster till the end of the scene.

I wish comedy's like this where still made.

Yes,Minister and Yes,Prime Minister are my favorite TV series, british or otherwise, of all time! Tony Jay and Jonathan Lynn denied this is how politics works, but we know better!

They only did that to protect their sources within the government who fed them all the material! :P

oh my god what is an advert doing on the fucking bbc?

BBC Worldwide is funded separately from the License Fee through adverts etc

i know that but its a traversty that should still be noted. They should have asked us for some more money if they needed it.

fk that I pay enough already. You pay for me if you want :-p

come on, an extra 30 quid a year maybe? and they can introduce tiers for those a little short and those who just want to give. Now wouldnt that be better?

Worldwide is for a worldwide audience. So non merci - let the frogs pay for it if they want. Not me. :-)
