Humphrey is an absolute star, love him! Nighel Hawthorne had waffling in an educated manner down to an art!

[Martin Lansing]

Oh these were the days!

And its basically today's government

[VacuumSquirrel]

Yup, it is, just checked :) Series 2. I bought the entire series years back :)

I think this is from the episode, "A Question of Loyalty" although I could be wrong...

I don't know, one of the reasons I love this series is because it is STILL so painfully true. I've been flicking through a few of these clips tonight and it says so much for the writing that it's hardly dated at all.

[Mark Dietl]

This would be much funnier if not so painfully true.

The best part of this episode is when Hacker turns on Humphrey when they're both in front of the committee. Humphrey's face is the funniest thing!!!!

Pure genius at work.

[Mehdi Bou]

Lol

[Timenova2]

Thanks to Sir Humphrey, I am now in the habit of making my sentences and arguments as long and complicated as possible.

Definitely one of my favourite comedies aside from Only Fools and Horses.

why do I have this in my constitutional law handout?

There was an earlier scene in which Hacker testified where that same MP goes after him for having a policy in all office supplies were ordered in bulk but that this was four times more expensive than allowing local officials could buy office supplies themselves as needed. Made absolutely no sense.
