Yes Minister & Yes Prime Minister - The Complete Audio Collection

De: Antony Jay, Jonathan Lynn

Narrado por: Paul Eddington, full cast, Nigel Hawthorn

For the first time in one audio collection, all 16 Yes Minister radio episodes plus six further TV episodes, 14 Yes Prime Minister episodes and two bonus sketches.

Between 1980 and 1988 on BBC television and radio, the exploits of the Rt Hon Jim Hacker MP (Paul Eddington) - later Prime Minister - kept the British nation enthralled. Helped - and hampered - by his diligent Permanent Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby (Nigel Hawthorne) and his Principle Private Secretary Bernard Woolley (Derek Fowlds), Hacker and his department became synonymous with government bureaucracy and administrative double dealing. Presented here, for the first time in one collection, are the complete radio series of Yes Minister and the complete BBC television soundtracks of Yes Prime Minister. Also included are six TV soundtracks of Yes Minister and two special bonus mini-episodes: "The PM’s Plan", recorded in 1984 with Margaret Thatcher as herself, and a special segment created for "The Funny Side of Christmas" in 1982.

Laughted our loud!

This is a great series and one I will listen to again and again. It's farcical banter and beaurocratic nonsense has made me laugh out loud on my commute many any times. Such good fun!

Just plain fun!

While from the 80's- it is still fun to listen! Witty, humorous, Never silly! Just great! Really? Yes,
absolutely dear listeners & readers!

fantastic

probably the finest piece of British comedy ever. great example of how politics really work

What an Intro to British Politics!

I listened to this series because I couldn't find it to watch online - it had been recommended to me, as an outsider, to understand British politics. But what an introduction!

I'm sure the series was wonderful but audio-only has limitations - often the most important things are said too quietly to hear.

Classic

The best comedy series ever. Can't get enough of it after all these years. Masterpiece in all aspects :script , performance, screenplay.

It's funny because it's true.

Regardless of the original production date, this series remains funny because it is still relevant. This is one that I can listen to repeatedly. The characters are interesting, funny, and knowable. The topics are real, the situations all too familiar, and you just know this is what really goes on in government, doubtless no matter the country. Yes Minister and the follow-up Yes Prime Minister are just funny- plain and simple.

Absolutely wonderful

Hilarious and engaging!! I Loved every minute of it both times I listened to it.

I love this audio book!!

Please add more British Comedies! I look forward to more opportunities such as this.

Brilliant and still relevant

Wonderful series.
Definitely in the category of they don't make them like this anymore, and more the shame.
Brilliant actors at the top of there game.
The speeches by Sir Humprey still bring a smile to me every time I hear them

Awesome

I grew up watching the dvds of this show. I was so excited to find it on Audible and joyfully binged it for the week. I’m so pleased to able to listen to it whenever I need a good laugh.
